Astrology is about integration and connection. Through our attention to planetary cycles and patterns, we begin to experience ourselves in a much bigger and more connected way. We are able to better understand our place in the world, as well as the world's place in us. We also become more and more skillful in the precious art of timing.
I offer both chart readings and in-depth chart engagement sessions, and these are described below. My astrological practice is grounded in 24 years of serious study of the inner skies. If you are knowledgable about astrology, you may be interested in reading more about my orientation by scrolling below the list of services.
In addition to the services below, I offer frequent workshops and classes exploring astrological themes. I also post occasional articles in the astrology blog here and recordings of talks and radio appearances can be found here.
Readings and Sessions are in person or by telephone/ videophone. All readings include a copy of your chart(s) and an audio CD of the session for later review.
$160 / 1 hour 15 minutes
A horoscope means a "view of the hour" of birth -- it is a depiction of the location of the planets and stars in the sky at the moment you entered the world. The old cultures found that the celestial sky is a mirror of consciousness, and the sky-story of your birth tells us about the adventure in consciousness that is you. In a Horoscope Reading, we read this story together, and we also progress the cycles of the planets through to the present day to understand current events in your life. We can focus on particular areas of life such as career, family, relationships; or we can take a broader look at karmic patterns and the arcs of destiny in your life. All that is required of you is your birth date, time, and place, all as specific as possible, and an open heart. Please contact me directly to schedule a reading.
$110/hour, prorated, time varies according to need; for this work, a sliding scale is available for clients for whom the full rate is prohibitive.
Because the celestial sky mirrors consciousness, there are many points of departure for engagement with astrology that can facilitate deeper healing, understanding, and transformation in many areas of life. Clients who have had a natal chart reading often wish to take a deeper dive into these possibilities through a few or many sessions. There are several possible areas of focus; please contact me if you have had a natal chart reading and wish to continue in greater depth in this way.
$275 / 2 hours -- $50 discount if both partners have had a natal reading.
Relationship readings include two kinds of charts. The first is a synastry chart which looks at how key elements of the sky story of each partner relate to one another. This charts empowers us to understand the archetypal dynamics in play between you, and how these dynamics cycle through the relationship in particular situations and areas of life. In addition, we are able to track longer-term karmic patterning that is involved and can iluminate the soul potential and soul contracts involved between you in the relationship. This can be especially useful in dealing with conflict, as archetypal and karmic contexts empower you with multiple levels of understanding from which to address the issue. The second chart used is a composite chart, which synthesizes the two charts into a third chart, revealing the personality and Soul of the relationship itself. This chart is based on the wisdom that the whole is more than the sum of its parts, and that the relationship has a life of its own. Understanding your relationship from this point of view empowers you to actively tend to it and cooperate and co-create with the natural rhythms and intentions of the relationship itself. Please contact me directly if you wish to schedule a reading.
$500 / 2 hours -- pro bono, as schedule and finances permit, for educational, spiritual, and non-profit organizations
Collective and group readings can involve two kinds of charts. The first is a founding chart, a natal chart of when the group or organization was created. This chart enables us to understand both the personality and Soul of the organization, and how they are related. In addition, it allows us to map likely changes and evolutions over time through progression and transits.
The second, when practical, is a composite chart of the members of the group. This chart describes the 'oversoul' of the collective who are currently a part of the group/institution. This chart can often be meaningfully related to the founding chart to understand how the current generation of members is related to the overall organization. You may contact me directly to schedule a reading.
I grew up in astrology. Our neighborhood astrologer in West Virginia cast all our charts at birth, and moon signs and ascendants were always part of conversations. At age 11 or 12 (during my first 8th-house-Jupiter return), I discovered a set of esoteric texts closeted away in my grandparents' home. Many of these texts were incomprehensible to my mind, but they awakened a knowing and a deep trust in larger patterns and cycles of life. They provided a sense of meaning and perspective on life situations that otherwise seemed very chaotic and frightening.
I began casting charts for friends and family and created an astrology study course at age 16 (as my progressed Sun conjoined my natal Uranus, and transiting Uranus conjoined my North Node). I provided astrological services to many people for several years, and 18 years later, when I received a graduate degree in counseling, I declared myself professionally (as transiting Uranus conjuncted my Midheaven).
My practice is informed by the outpouring of consciousness-oriented approaches to astrology that emerged in the decades just before and after my own birth (September 28, 1973, 23:56, Huntington, West Virginia, USA). The two key figures whose lineage I draw from are Dane Rudhyar and Jeffrey Wolf Green.
In working with charts, I follow the invitation of the moment in terms of where to focus. However, some areas that I track in any chart include:
I view the chart as a depiction of the multiplicity of attractor patterns at play in consciousness at the moment represented by the chart. My role in a reading is to enable the client to have a felt experience of the nature of those attractors and how they manifest in life, and to empower the client to participate consciously with these attractors by understanding and tracking their cycles through time.
Beginning and Intermediate Astrologers:
I welcome the opportunity to work with you in mentorship/ apprenticeship. Please contact me if you are interested in this. I have found this a mutually satisfying and rich experience for me and the people I work with in this way.
Client Feedback:
"Jason Holley has been an invaluable source for me in my quest to better understand and deal with the patterns and lessons of my life. The astrological framework really helps me to give some structure to the experience of life's ups and downs, my responses to them, and the resulting emotional roller coaster. More than anything, I appreciate his gentle understanding of my fears, combined with honest advice about how best to deal with them."
-Libby Puckett Durham, NC
"Before receiving a reading from Jason I had found astrological readings only mildly useful and vaguely accurate. I had no idea how transformative it would be to work with someone so highly skilled and so clearly attuned to the movement of the planets."
-Kate Latimer Santa Fe
"I have had two sessions, one personal and one weaving together my own personal chart with that of Southwestern College. I find Jason's work entertaining, enlightening, psychologically and spiritually informed and these readings stay with me a long time after they are rendered... I recommend him highly."
-James Nolan Santa Fe
"Working with Jason provided me with tremendous insight into the nature of my soul and my destiny. He helped me understand myself and where I am going more than years of therapy ever did. Jason is truly a gift to the planet."
-Charmayne Kilcup San Francisco
"Jason offers astrology in a refreshingly digestible and clear manner. I enjoy his intuitive, practical, and gentle approaches. His accuracy and giftedness in astrology are truly noteworthy."
