Astrology Chart Readings
YOUR WAY TO CLEANSE YOUR BODY AND ENERGIZE YOUR SOUL.
Sophie’s journey with astrology began with her own natal chart reading seven years ago by an astrologer, philosopher and writer named Chrissy Philp. This gave incredible insight into her own personality and patterns, which prompted her daily self study journey of astrology. Sophie continues study with Chrissy Philp and attends multiple astrology workshops and events as well as working on content for her YouTube channel ‘Obsessed Astrology’. Additionally, Sophie works as a counsellor and support worker for women fleeing domestic abuse at the Julian House charity and has previously worked with the homeless with issues of addiction. This has helped her solidify a varied and lateral understanding of not just holistic health but recovery, complex needs and crisis intervention.
Sophie’s Introductory Take on Astrology
Our natal astrology chart is a snapshot of where the planets were at the exact moment in time and space when we were born. The influence the aspects and planets have on us, as apart of the universe, gives us a blueprint for our personality. Our upbringing, epigenetics, life events, free will and people in our live can also determine how we express our chart or personality. Also, as we grow, mature and transits of the planets to our natal chart affect us, we will also change and develop our personalities.
We are multilayered, complicated, contradictory beings and our personalities are very complex, so if we can try to understand them it can make life a little easier at the least, and at the most become the best version of ourselves!

We can align the planets with the zodical signs to understand the archyetypes. Each of us have all 12 archtypes within our psyche, and each chart is uniquely different and will express theses in different ways and in different areas of our lives. For example we all have Venus somewhere in our chart, weather it’s our chart ruler, conjunct our ascendant, or conjunct Pluto, we all have a psychological need to relate, and look for someone or something to partner up with. Venus is the planet of love and relationships and looks for a partner to mirror ourselves and learn from.
To understand how the planets affect our psyche we can look to the example of the moon (the planet of reflection as it doesn’t generate its own light, it reflects it to us form the sun). The moon physically affects all water on earth, including the tides and women’s cycles. Most people can relate to ‘feeling’ different on a full, new moon or eclipse. Now if we understand being affected by the moon physically and mentally, we can imagine what affect much, much bigger planets like Jupiter and Saturn can have on us. So we have our chart (personality) then we have the ‘owner’ of that chart and that can also be referred to as our soul, higher self, conscious self, and the space where we can be observant and objective from, to view our personalities from a detached state of awareness which can help us realise we are more than just what our default personality is.
When we can operate more from the owners point of view, we can be less attached and reactive to how life plays out. The Buddhist philosophy of ‘attachment brings suffering’ comes to mind with this outlook.
Synastry, or relationship astrology is putting two charts together to understand how two people trigger, affect and relate to each other. Then there are composite charts, which is a new chart created when two people have been together a while and can even be described as the ‘relationships’ chart’.
During a reading we can also look at transits, progressions and solar return charts which gives us knowledge about where the planets are now and how they are affecting you and your life. Weather you are going through a major life event, turning point, career change, relationship problems, or just want to understand yourself on a deeper level, astrology can be used as a tool to facilitate this.

“I came to Sophie at a turning point in my life as I lacked confidence in what my instincts were telling me. The reading highlighted many things in detail that had been and were taking place. It mirrored exactly what I had been feeling about my new direction. It has given me great confidence on my path, to be unafraid and to embrace my creativity. Sophie also gave me clarity of a romance which had been very hard to navigate, explaining the combined traits and things that were working for and against us. I felt enlightened and nurtured and wish I could have her readings more often! Sophie has such a love for astrology and spends time to go through things in detail and makes you feel truly understood.”

“I found Sophie online and immediately connected with her. In our first session I knew I had made the right decision to see her. Sophie has a wonderful calming energy and she is very thorough with the entire chart reading and how each planet interacts with one another. She was patient in educating me on what each planet, house etc meant and was enthusiastic about doing so. I sent her a few questions before the reading and she made sure that she went into detail about those things to further help me on my journey to healing. She made me feel comfortable in opening up to her and she doesn’t beat around the bush, she tells you if there are things that you need to look at and isn’t afraid to let you understand what your life lessons are, and that maybe there will be some pain, not everything is sunshine and roses but ”here is a way to apply that and work through it”. She was incredibly accurate and she guided me through healing points that I needed to look at in order to live my best life. She is very generous with her time, very intuitive and won’t just allow the session to end because time is up, she very much makes sure that everything you need is answered and completed. On top of this, she also let me know of the more positive aspects of my chart and gave me some encouragement on what I am here to do and how by healing certain areas I will continue to prosper in others. I truly couldn’t reccomend her enough, she is a fantastic reader and guide, and does everything with a very healing and positive outlook.”

“When I first came across Sophie, I was having some serious questions about my relationship with my husband. I am so glad I contacted her. I found Sophie approachable and easy to talk to. Not only that but she is very knowledgable and clear. Through her and her method of using astrology, I learned a lot about myself and my husband and the reason we behaved in certain ways. This was helpful, because things became clearer to me and it even dissolved some resentment I had been having. Sophie suggested solutions and ways to approach situations and ideas that would not only help our relationship but ourselves in general as well. Now I feel like I have something tangible to refer to when I need it and I was able to apply things to my relationship and I saw a real improvement in my relationship. It has helped me a lot as an individual and I feel more empowered than I used to. It was definitely time well spent.”

“My first experience of Astrology, Sophie gave me so many insights into my life not only about myself but also with close relationships I have with family too. Sophie showed such skill in piecing the charts together giving meaning and logic to my life so far. I felt wowed by Sophie’s knowledge about the planets and how they have influenced and impacted my life, this was kind of reassuring too! I felt very comfortable as Sophie provided a safe and trusting space to give the sessions the authenticity that was needed to get the best results.”
