About David

Twenty years of reading charts leave you with fewer certainties than people expect. I still cannot tell you why a map of the sky at a person's first breath keeps describing them the way it does. At some point I let the question rest and kept the craft.

The craft looks like this. I calculate the chart, sit with it until the pattern shows itself, and then write to you the way I would speak if you were in the room, in plain language, at whatever length the chart asks for. Every reading starts from a blank page and takes days. That is the point of it.

Some of what I use is very old. The Sun, the Moon, the twelve houses and the major aspects have been read for more than two thousand years. Some of it is young: Chiron was found in 1977, Pluto in 1930. I name each thing what it is, and I wrote a free guide to Chiron that shows what I mean. The practice does not need to borrow age it does not have.

And I write in ranges, never in sentences. A placement opens a territory; what a position tends to do and where it usually presses. A chart shows conditions. Decisions stay with the person, which is how it should be. If you want the full version for your own chart, the readings are here.

If you want to see how that reads on the page, there are sample pages from a real reading, shared with the client's details blurred. And if you have a question before ordering, the fastest way to reach me is a message on Etsy.
