I work Monday thru Saturday, as well as many evenings (U.S. eastern time). In-person sessions are usually held in Asheville, NC. Long-distance work can be done anywhere in the world by Zoom, Skype or phone.
Relationship Consultations
Understand the unique alchemy you create with another person! Ideal for marriage, romance, business, family, and other important relationships. This consultation, also called “synastry,” begins with relationship-focused natal interpretations for each of you.
I then look at current and future events for both of you. This helps to clarify whether specific issues are permanent or temporary. Finally, I analyze your relationship’s “hard-wired” challenges and strengths.
It’s great if you both can be present for the session. But I can also do a Relationship Consultation if only one of you participates.
I typically prepare by studying both of your individual natal charts, transits and progressions. I also analyze your couple charts: synastry grid, biwheels, midpoint composite chart and Davison composite chart.

Astrology FAQ
What If I Don’t Know My Time of Birth?
I can do an Astrology+ reading with you even if you don’t know your birth time. But without a precise birth time, I can’t know the location of your planets within the astrological houses. And without houses, certain astrological information isn’t available.
To find your birth time, you can try to locate a birth certificate, baby book, or other document that may give the time of birth. (Visit this website to learn how to get an official copy of your birth certificate.) Or you can contact a family member who might know your birth time.
But if you can’t determine the time using those methods, there’s another way: rectification. This technique allows an astrologer to work from a list of significant life events to determine a client’s time of birth. I can refer you to an astrologer who does this, and who gives my clients a special reduced fee of $125 to determine their birth time.
You can also have your chart done with no birth time, which means no astrological houses. This still gives me most of your astrological information, and is enough for an accurate and helpful consultation. And, of course, any invocation and/or Shamanic Healing work we might do during the session (your Astrology+ session can also include these modalities) is independent of your astrology chart.
How Does Astrology Work?
I work from the basic idea that we’re each an evolving soul temporarily inhabiting a human body. Prior to birth, we each choose the time and place where we’ll draw our first breath. This critical moment sets up a unique energy matrix marked by the positions of the planets. The resulting natal chart serves as the blueprint for that lifetime.
The more you live in harmony with this blueprint, the more wonderful and fulfilling life becomes. I can help you awaken to your soul’s intentions by accurately interpreting your natal chart. I can also tell you about the important energy shifts (transits, progressions, etc.) that affect your life.
Astrology shows your highest potential, as well as your ever-changing “cosmic weather.” But the astrology I practice isn’t fortune-telling: free will is always at play. My clients find that astrology helps them understand themselves better, fine-tune their life directions, and be much better prepared for life’s important challenges and opportunities.
All Sessions FAQ
What Does a Session Include?
Each Astrology+ session can include Astrology, Shamanic Astrology, invocations and/or Shamanic Healing. Astrology fees include the session, prep time, charts and reports, and an MP3 of the session. Shamanic fees include the session and the session MP3.
Long-distance Astrology+ clients can choose to see everything on my computer screen during their consultation via Zoom or Skype; no extra charge.
What Will My Session Be Like?
Your AstroShaman session will be unique and completely customized to your needs. It will be shaped by your needs, desires, and questions, as well as my experience and inner guidance.
In Astrology+ sessions, we typically explore your horoscope’s most important soul messages, as well as your most important challenges and opportunities during the next 12 months and beyond. If you choose to include invocations and/or Shamanic Healing in your session, you might also experience healing and spiritual awakening.
Technically speaking, an Astrology+ session might include discussion of your natal chart, moving energies (transits, progressions and/or solar arcs), solar return(s) and/or Relocation Astrology.
If you prefer, we can focus on an astrological time period shorter than a year, and cover it in greater detail.
When and Where Can I Do a Session?
Sessions are available by appointment days, nights and weekends. You can do your session by phone, Zoom, or Skype, or in person at my Asheville, NC office. Solo digital recordings are also available for Astrology+ sessions, most commonly for children’s charts.
Is Benjamin a Psychic?
While I routinely receive intuitive insights for my clients during Astrology+ and Shamanic Healing sessions, I don’t consider myself to be a “psychic.” My intention is never to tell someone exactly what’s going to happen to them, such as a specific foreordained event at a particular time. In my Astrology+ consultations, my intent is to educate clients about the best use of their natal and moving astrological energies. With this understanding, they can use their free will to make better decisions about how to consciously partner with these energies for a more happy, successful and fulfilling life.
Will My Session Include Invocations?
I lead my clients in invocations during all Shamanic Healing sessions, and some Astrology+ consultations. These invocations give my clients a simple, powerful way to maintain and deepen divine states of consciousness, and call in healing energies. For my Astrology+ clients, invocations often provide an effective way to work through the challenges revealed by their charts. Whether or not we include invocations as part of your Astrology+ session is completely up to you.
