Astrology with Melissa

The sky at the moment of birth tells a story, and your natal chart is the map that helps you decode it. Using ancient Hellenistic theory, Melissa translates the language of energy and archetype into a clear narrative describing the patterns shaping your identity, relationships, work, family life, and more. Her approach blends time tested technique with psychological wisdom and spiritual reverence, for a reading that is both profound and practical. You’ll leave your reading with a clearer sense of direction, new insights around the hidden blessings in your life, and valuable resources for responding to fate with intention, faith, and integrity.

What would you like to explore in your chart? Melissa offers several options, depending on your needs.

TYPES OF READINGS

Most sessions focus on one or more of the following areas, depending on your questions and where you are in life. These approaches can be explored on their own or woven together within a single reading depending on how much time you book.

Natal Chart Readings
Your natal chart is the foundation of all astrology work. This reading explores the blueprint you were born with, including core themes, strengths, challenges, and recurring patterns. Natal readings are especially helpful for self-understanding, life direction, and making sense of long-standing questions about who you are and how you move through the world. Birth time is necessary for accuracy but a general reading can still be done without time of birth.

Solar Return Readings
A solar return chart looks at the year ahead, beginning on your birthday and unfolding until your next one. This type of reading highlights the major themes, areas of focus, and growth opportunities for the coming year. Many clients book solar return readings around birthdays or during times of transition, change, or decision-making. Birth time is required for this type of reading.

Transit Readings
Transit readings focus on what is happening now. By looking at how the current movement of the planets interacts with your natal chart, this reading helps explain timing, emotional shifts, and periods of pressure or opportunity. Transit work is especially useful when you’re navigating change, feeling stuck, or trying to understand why certain themes are coming up in your life.

Progression Readings
Progressed charts reflect your inner development over time. These readings focus on subtle but meaningful shifts in how you experience yourself, your relationships, and your sense of purpose. Progressions are often explored during life milestones, identity changes, or periods of deep personal growth, when something inside you feels ready to move forward.
