If you are looking for astrological guidance and can't afford a personal "reading" just now, I suggest reading: "North Node Astrology: Re-Discovering Your Life Direction and Soul Purpose" (See below) )It also might be worthwhile for you to read this before having a personal session with me as well, although not mandatory!) Anyway, this book will help you understand your life direction, your transits, get a better understanding of your astrological chart, and it has charts and full descriptions of the Nodes and how to understand them. You can use the book to better understand your Saturn Returns, Uranus Opposition, Chiron Return, Pluto transits, and more. It's all of what I do in a "reading" and you may be able to do it for yourself.
                               


"North Node Astrology;
 Rediscovering Your Life Direction and Soul Purpose" 

Available on: www.amazon.com    Read reviews and parts of it in the "Look Inside the Book" on amazon's website. Also on Kindle. 

 Book Review from "Mountain Astrologer"

"Although astrologically oriented, this book is written for all readers who are looking to better understand their life direction and soul purpose. Endorsed by Jungian author Jim Hollis and evolutionary astrologer, Steven Forrest, this book is a reference guide as well as a collection of heart-felt stories that inspire a wider understanding of astrology and depth psychology.  
     By using the simple chart/table based on your day and year of birth, you'll be able to look up your Nodes, as well as those of your friends, partners, and family, in order to more deeply understand the psycho-spiritual challenges and opportunities embedded in the chart. Understanding the Nodes and life passages (transits) will inspire a more compassionate view of relationships, marriage, menopause, as well as the alchemy of desire."

   ***

                 Why not become the "author" of your own life?
 Carl Jung once said: "When an inner situation is not made conscious,
it happens outside as fate."
 Why not bring a little more consciousness
into your life and become your own "author-ity?" 
                 
       Perhaps those words promise too much, yet an astrology reading offers unique insights into relationships, career, and the timing of events--it helps you make better choices. It enables you to feel that you have a little more control of your life and destiny--and it especially helps when you're feeling just plain stuck.

      I specialize in helping you understand your life direction, soul purpose and relationships issues by examining your birth, transit and progressed charts, and especially by looking at the unconscious dynamics that are embedded within the North and South Nodes. By translating Jungian astrology and Jungian psychology into plain English, you'll find insights that can be helpful for you now. Depth psychology and this type of "evolutionary" astrology goes deeper than sun sign astrology.

 * Elizabeth Spring MA, is a counseling therapist with a background in the psychology of Carl Jung and 20 years experience as a professional astrologer.
 

   ~Are you "just working" or are you doing your life's work?
Let's look at the North and South Node for deeper clues.
 ~Are you questioning your current partnership or wondering when a new relationships will come into your life?
Let's look at your progressed chart or do a relationship comparison chart.
       ~Are you restless, anxious, or feeling 'stuck' and don't know why?
 Let's look at your transits: You could be experiencing the Saturn Return or the Uranus Opposition.

       "I believe that the astrological chart is a profoundly direct means for accessing insight and wisdom because it was chosen by your Soul before birth. As an evolutionary astrologer, I believe that karma, grace, fate, and free will all weave together into an intricate tapestry, and that the chart reveals profound clues about the direction your Soul yearns to go towards, and provides insights into the timing of significant events. 
    Although it is an esoteric truth that character equals fate, we are blessed with the free will to create our own character and therefore our own destiny.

I'm currently not scheduling or doing readings~please check back later~

 Here's how to set up a reading:

   1) Email me at elizabethspring@aol.com. with your birthday, place, time and phone number, and suggest a couple of times you are available for our phone session. I'm on Eastern time (Rhode Island) so if you're from California or out of the country we'll need to adjust for time zones. I do readings mornings to early afternoon, EST (Rhode Island). I don't work late aftenoons/evenings, but will work occasionally on week-ends.
      After receiving your email, I will immediately email you back to set up a time--usually we can set something up within a few days to a week.
I take readings on a first come, first serve basis.
 
  2) As soon as we have confirmed the time for our session, you'll need to come back to the site and do payment using the Paypal button below. It accepts Visa and MC as well. 

   3) Then write me an email, as long or as short as you wish, about yourself and your concerns/questions at this point in time. This way I can properly prepare by pondering the symbolism in your birth, transit, and progressed charts to your email letter. Occasionally clients prefer not to send the email letter about themself, and that is perfectly fine to do it that way too.   

       The fee is $150 for a "60-90" minute phone session. I also do sessions in my office and by Skype. Do not pay for a session until we've agreed on our appointment time.
         If you want me to add a relationship chart reading between you and someone else, including their birth and synastry/composite charts, I charge an extra $40 because the prep work on my end is longer. 

       If you don't have your birth time, I have official numbers to call for each state (and some countries) to get the birth time, or we can do a sunrise chart. A sunrise chart done for another person in comparison to your chart can also be helpful.

   4) You call me at our appointment time. This is not a psychic reading, and it's purpose is to give you new insights and clarity. I tell the truth and focus on what is personally helpful for you to know. I don't predict 'gloom or doom' and it's good to remember that all the planets and aspects have a range of possibilities; there is no right way or wrong way to move through our transitions--but astrological insight and the upcoming personal astrological 'weather forecast' can help you to trust your process and make better decisions!
     
 
   ** Before our session I will have brought up your birth, transit, and progressed charts to get a feel for the next year or two ahead. If you've requested it, I'll use synastry/composite charts with another person. I'll look for repeating patterns of challenge and opportunity as well as the Nodal questions of life direction and soul purpose. I pay strong attention to the challenges of Saturn and Pluto in the chart, and also to opportunities presented by transiting Jupiter. Because I see astrology as the "positive contemplation of change" I see myself as one who affirms, confirms and evokes your own intuitive insights through translating the synchronistic symbols of astrology into the particulars of your life. 

        For those who wish, we can discuss the family karmic inheritance and the "past life parable of the Nodes" in ways that may be impacting you now. There is a chapter in my book "North Node Astrology" on the family karmic inheritance, and chapters on how to move through the challenges of your Saturn Returns or upcoming transits. So....the book is often helpful to read before, or even after having a reading.
                                         
        *** If you don't call me at our scheduled appointment time, please note that you will have already been charged for the reading and you'll need to reschedule. I hope you understand that I need to do it this way as my time and prep-work is intensive and done ahead of our appointment time.
    
        ***Follow-up Counseling Sessions are available as well, at half price, and would need to be done within a month or two. One follow-up session may be enough or you may want more regular times.
