Astrology Commissions
Hereās everything you should know about commissioning an astrology reading from me!! I know itās quite a lot of information, but reading through it will make the process so much simpler for both of us and will give you a clear idea of what to expect. I offer a few different types of readings, even in-depth ships and synastry readings with your favorite BTS members, so be sure to check it out!! :)Ā
How to Commission a Reading:
Choose a type of reading from the list below
Please send a direct message to this blog (@astro-syd) or to my email [email protected] with the type of reading youād like, as well as any questions or concerns you may have.
Iāll get back to you as soon as I see your message and let you know an approximate wait time on your reading. Sometimes I get a little backed up on commissions, so please be patient with me! Iāll also be in contact with you as soon as I start your reading, and will send updates as I work on it right up until itās finished.
Iāll ask for your preferred name & pronouns, your date of birth, the most accurate birth time you know of, and the city & country you were born in. Iāll use this information to draw your chart, which I will send to you to double-check that everything looks good.
Next Iāll have a little discussion with you regarding what youāre comfortable with me addressing in your reading. There can be some sensitive topics, and I want to make 100% certain that I donāt cross any of your boundaries or give you any information that you donāt want in the reading. Iāll go over a lot of the main themes and topics that can be addressed and ask you what exactly Iām allowed to discuss. I really, REALLY want to have a clear understanding of what you want out of your reading before I begin, and all of your wishes will be given the utmost respect on my part.Ā
I do not insist that you pay me until after Iāve finished your reading. Once itās finished, Iāll send you a link to my PayPal or Venmo (whichever you prefer) where Iāll accept the payment, and then Iāll immediately email you the reading in a PDF. If you need the file converted to another format, please let me know!
What to Expect:
I use tropical or western astrology as well as whole sign houses for all of my astrology readings. This is just my style of reading and what feels the most accurate to me.
I typically do not use any decans, asteroids or fixed stars in my readings EXCEPT for Chiron, where applicable. I prefer to keep my readings as simple but detailed as possible, rather than throwing a whole bunch of random and unhelpful information your way, so this is just my style of reading. I choose to work with Chiron where necessary because it holds big themes in my own life and chart as well as our generation as a whole, and I expect the asteroid to be a lifelong study of mine.
Remember that astrology is not an exact science. It only shows archetypes and tendencies within your chart, so nothing is exact, and nothing I point out is pure fact. I try to offer as many possibilities as to what each placement could mean for you in my readings. Yes, you can expect it to be accurate- thatās my job, and thatās what Iāve studied so hard to be able to do. But no, you should not expect every single detail in the reading to be spot on or as if Iāve read your mind. I give as much info as I can so that you can take whatās helpful to you and leave the rest!
All of my natal readings also include a little list with your top 3 most dominant signs and planets in your chart, plus your elements and modalities in order from strongest to weakest.
You are absolutely welcome to send me any questions or topics youād like me to address in your reading. I will keep these topics in mind and touch on them throughout your reading.
If you have any questions or concerns about how I do readings, feel free to reach out to me! I am happy to address them, whatever they may be.
If youāre not sure what kind of reading youāre looking for or have any special requests, no worries! We can figure it out together.Ā
Iāve written an approximate page length for each reading below, just to give you an idea of what to expect. You should know that I usually type using 11pt font, 1.5 spacing, and I write mainly in bullet points. This is simply because itās the easiest for me to read and get each point across without jumbling a mess of information together. Page length can vary based on how many contradictory aspects need explaining, amongst other things, but I promise that itāll be something very close to whatās listed below. Iāll keep in touch with you the entire time Iām working on your reading (almost annoyingly so), so youāll be getting updates as I go.
Please keep in mind that youāre not just paying for the reading itself- youāre also paying for the time it takes for me to communicate with you about the reading, to draw up the necessary charts, to do any extra research that might be necessary to give you the most comprehensive reading possible, and my years of studying and experience with astrology.Ā
I want astrology to be fun, helpful, and accessible to anyone whoās interested in it. This is why I provide so much free information on my blog and keep my reading prices as low as possible. Many hours go into reading, writing, and re-writing these documents in order to best communicate everything I notice in your chart, so please be understanding of both prices and wait times. Itās all so that I can provide you with fun, info-packed readings that you can refer back to time and time again! I hope you enjoy my work, and I look forward to reading your charts in the future :)
Types of Readings I Offer & Pricing:
In-depth ship with a BTS member & explanation (3-5 pages long)- $30
This is exactly how I do my BTS member ships on my blog, except it gives a much more in-depth explanation of why I think youād be a great match and what I would imagine your relationship to be like. Itās a very fun and lighthearted reading! Itās much like reading your favorite BTS imagine posts, except itās a lot more personalized to you, and you get to keep it forever! I create this reading by looking at both of your (you and the member Iāve chosen for you) inner planetary placements (Sun-Mars), the signs that theyāre in, their house placements (as well as the Ascendant), and any noticeable or major conjunctions (planets that are very close together in your charts). Itās basically a mini synastry reading where Iām highlighting the most important aspects of your relationship in order to pair you with a member and give some insight into what your relationship would be like together.
Simple Synastry Reading & Analysis (3-5 pages)- $35
If youād like an analysis of what your relationship would be like with a SPECIFIC member, this is the reading for you. This can also be done with a current or potential partner of yours, so long as you have their date of birth, time of birth, and the city & country they were born in. Iāll give a simple overview of your relationship together, highlighting the main points that stand out in your synastry chart. Iāll be taking all planetary and house placements into account, as well as the strongest aspects. I wonāt be giving an analysis on every single placement between you both, but simply highlighting the ones that I think are most important and notable.
In-Depth Synastry Reading & Analysis (10-20 pages)- $65
This is the real kicker of a reading that usually takes me the most time to complete. If youāre looking for an example of this type of reading, you can look to my analysis of BTSās synastry charts on my blog. I will include as much information about you and your partnerās charts (or a memberās chart, if thatās who youāve chosen) as I can, outlining your most compatible aspects and the areas where you may clash a bit and need to compromise or be more understanding of each other. Itās a very insightful look into the archetypes within your relationship and the strongest planetary aspects between you both.
Simple Natal Reading (approx. 5-7 pages)- $50
This reading gives an overview of the inner planets in your natal chart (Ascendant-Mars) and any other placements that stand out to me about your life and personality. Iāll be looking at your inner planets, the angles in your birth chart, major aspects, and anything else that I notice as being important for you to know. Itāll give a general overview of your personality and lifestyle.
In-Depth Natal Reading (12+ pages)- $70
I honestly canāt recommend this reading enough if youāve never had a serious analysis of your chart done before. (of course you would say that Syd, itās the most expensive!!) Itās the most expensive because I put my heart and soul into these readings. A detailed view of your natal chart can give so much insight and validation about your life, personality and tendencies, and itās this type of reading that got me into astrology in the first place. Iāll be outlining a detailed description of each of your houses (even the empty ones), each planet in your chart, major aspects, the angles, Chiron if youād like (or if itās applicable for a question youāve asked me), and anything else that stands out to me in your chart. Iāve been doing this type of reading the longest and am quite confident in my ability to create a reading that youāll really enjoy. This is another reading that takes me a while to complete, simply because I put so much detail into it and spend a lot of time referencing my notes, books, and doing some extra research for each individual chart (because everybody is unique)! Again, if youāre worried about time frames, simply send me a message!
