Planets, Constellations, and Houses

Allison prefers to work with people in an ongoing way and finds this creates intention and momentum. She is available for single sessions for $200 only if you are a returning client. Every session includes about an hour of dedicated study of your birth chart before we meet, and the more specific you are with your questions and intentions, the more specific her study time can be. 

Most new clients who book 3 sessions will focus on:

1. Intro to major themes in your birth chart
2. Career, money, and education
3. Relationships

Using the primary lens of Jyotish, also known as Vedic Astrology,  Allison tends to inspire:

• a deeper sense of intimacy with yourself
• how to address and improve your overall well-being
• awareness of blind spots and hidden strengths
• organization around your values and sense of purpose
• refinement and getting on track with your daily routines and practices
• courage and shift

Learn about and experience using a rāga (song) as a jyotiṣical upāya, or an astrological remedy. Allison has been researching nakṣatras (stars) and their connection to specific rāgas since 2015 and has found this remedy to be of great benefit to herself and her students. You will need to provide Allison with your birth date, place, and exact time.

In the temples of South India, rāgas sculpted on pillars identify their relationship to specific constellations called nakṣatras. The healing potential of a rāga is dependent on the presence of correct śruti’s, the specific microtones in between notes. The most important aspect of the practice is listening well. It is a meditation practice with sound.

This method of interfacing rāgas with a person’s natal birth chart comes from Allison’s nāda yoga mentor and sarod maestro K. Sridhar who descends from 20 generations of Jyotishi’s and 14 generations of temple musicians on his mother’s side. Allison is most grateful to K. Sridhar for his love and blessings.

Includes:

• 2 one hour sessions
• detailed info about your birth star including the deity and symbology
• learning about the significance of the moon in your birth chart
• a curated listening practice
• learning the scale of the rāga 
• exercises for developing a relationship with the rāga

Depending on your goals we can focus on:

• Mantra and opening the voice 
• Help you build your repertoire of kirtan chants and bhajans 
• Inspire you to write your own chants inside of Indian scales
• Work on a specific song you love that you need help figuring out how to play on the harmonium

All levels are welcome.
