Life Direction and Soul Purpose; Astrological Readings and Jungian Counseling
Elizabeth Spring, MA
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. We'll do this 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 the astrological transits into plain English, you'll find the insights and information that can be helpful and empowering for you now.

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 that can be better understood.
The chart is a map of the psyche that reveals profound clues about the direction your Soul yearns to go towards--- as well as providing 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."

"Your menopause article should be available in every doctor's clinic in the world. Gosh, how many women would that help - come to think of it, maybe even a few men!"

"Elizabeth's decades of study, spiritual practice, writing, and professional training as a counselor and astrologer make her a valuable resource for those seeking psychological and spiritual guidance. I recommend her work enthusiastically."
"The quality I most admire in Elizabeth's writing is the way she keeps bringing astrology back to the bull's eye: the choices, empowering or disempowering, that we make within the context of each astrological question. She is never dishonest about the challenges, but she never leaves you in a depressing, inescapable box."

"I just wanted to say a word of thanks for our time together over the phone this morning. It felt right, peaceful and affirming, as much as it challenges me to reflect further... I also very much appreciated the gentle, caring, and articulate manner in which you shared what you did...It allowed me to feel a definite soul-level connection with you over the phone."

Here's how to set up a reading:
1) You email me at elizabethspring@aol.com or call me (daytimes) at 401-294-5863 with your birth day, place, time and credit card number. If you don't have your birth time, I have the number to call for each state or country to get the time, or we can do a sunrise chart. When you call or email, we'll set up an appointment time for you to call me--we can usually do a reading within a day or two. I like to know a little of your current situation and what prompted you to call. I will take your phone number and credit card information now (billed to Spring Pottery) and charge your account $135.
2) You call me at our appointment time and I record our session for you. Afterwards, I'll snail mail you the charts, notes, and recording of our talk. It's usually a 60-90 minute talk, but we'll take as much time as you need.
3) Before our session I will have brought up your birth, transit, progressed and solar arc or relocation charts. I will look for repeating patterns of challenge and opportunity, and at the astrological "forecast" for your current and upcoming year. As I examine the charts before our appointment, I will ponder your questions in light of the astrological symbolism, and as we talk,we'll move between the particulars of your life now and the astrological "clues" and signatures that I see emerging.
4) This is not a psychic reading and I won't be foretelling catastrophe or anything that is not helpful for you to know. 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 look at the family karmic inheritance and the "past life parable" in ways that may be impacting you now. Other clients prefer to look at the more practical strategies that can empower you to take charge of your life more. We can work both on the the inner and outer levels at the same time, as they echo each other. Many of my clients find it helpful to have follow-up sessions whenever going through times of change and transition.
5) After your initial reading we can continue for two more phone sessions within 2 weeks--we also email each other with questions during that time as well.The follow-up rate is less than the initial 'reading' ($100 a week) and it's sometimes helpful to do relationship charts at this time. In counseling sessions, the relationship charts are done at no extra charge.
6) If you don't call me at our scheduled appointment time, I will use that time to make a tape of your reading and will send it to you along with my charts, notes, etc. Please note that you will be charged for the reading whether we do it by phone or if I need to send you a tape. I hope you understand that I need to do it this way as my time/work is done primarily ahead of our appointment time.
7) If you are overseas or would simply prefer to do our session by email correspondence we can do that too. I can also do Skype. However the email correspondence works well too, as it is over a period of time and you have time to ponder between our letters. Many people have enjoyed and actually prefer this process. Email me for details on this.
