Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer readings for people who already study astrology and know their chart well?
I frequently read for clients who already know their way around a birth chart. If you are studying the subject, we will not waste time reviewing beginner concepts. We skip the introductory analysis and focus heavily on predictive timing, specific dates, and strategic planning. If you have spent a lot of time analyzing your own chart, bring your theories and we will use our time to get straight into the complex details.
Will this just be a personality reading?
I avoid basic personality interpretations and focus instead on helpful remediation to aid you in practically working with the planets in your chart. My techniques are grounded in western traditional methods and the esoteric systems developed by astrological magicians and accomplished occultists, such as members of the Golden Dawn. Because I practice astrological magic myself, that framework heavily influences my approach, allowing us to build a concrete and actionable strategy for your path forward.
Which specific timing techniques do you use?
I use primary directions, annual profections, solar returns, and directed profections layered to emulate the systems presented by traditional astrologers like Dorotheus, Abu Ma’shar, and Guido Bonatti. I also utilize fun Hellenistic techniques like decennials. If you are curious about the exact sources and texts that inform my methodology, you can check out the extensive traditional astrology reading list on my website under the book list tab.
If you want to see me demonstrate these techniques in action, watch my videos on the lives of Sylvia Plath and Oscar Wilde.
Is it okay to bring up difficult or traumatic past events during a reading?
Astrology is a practical tool for navigating real life, which includes the difficult parts. Mars and Saturn represent realities we cannot ignore. Please feel safe to share whatever context helps map the timing of your chart, and do not worry about censoring your past for my sake.
Do you offer Asynchronous readings?
I do! Just email me at solomon.royal@gmail.com to start the process.
Booking & Cancellation Policies
Payment and Preparation All consultations require full payment upfront to secure your appointment. Because traditional astrology requires significant advance chart calculation and preparation prior to our meeting, all payments are final.
Rescheduling & Cancellations To ensure the highest quality of work, I take a maximum of one consultation per day. Because of this limited capacity, your scheduled date cannot be changed once booked. If you are unable to attend on your booked date, it is considered a cancellation and the fee is non-refundable.
Time Adjustments If you need to adjust the specific time of your reading on the day we are already scheduled, please email me directly. Usually this is possible and I will do my best to accommodate a different time on that same day, though alternative times are not guaranteed.
Late Arrivals If you are running late, please email me as soon as possible. Because I limit my schedule to one consultation a day, we can usually push your meeting to a later time that same afternoon. Even if you completely miss the start time, let me know and I will do my best to accommodate a new slot for us that day. However, if we cannot find a mutually workable time before the day ends, the appointment will have to be treated as a cancellation and the fee forfeited.
