“I was nervous consulting Ria for a reading. I’m a private person who has difficulty allowing another to tell me about myself. I was pleasantly surprised that my nervousness was unfounded. Ria gently walked me through the reading with a level of grace and professionalism that was wholly unexpected. This wasn’t my first reading but it was the first one I enjoyed and the first one where I believed that the person on the other side of the chart actually knew their subject matter. She answered all of my questions with gentle authority and was wise enough to tell me when some questions were outside the scope of her work. Graceful professionalism and gentle authority are words I never thought I’d use together, but here they are. Thank you, Ria. I look forward to seeing you again soon.”

“Ria took such great care for my reading and I immediately fell comfortable and at ease in her presence. It felt like talking with a friend and she gave me insight and clarity into parts of my chart and certain aspects to focus on and helped me better understand my feelings and emotions. I found what I was looking for from the reading which was to return to my self and true calling and lean into my earth aspects and use my transits and placements as a tool for creativity and joy! I am truly grateful for Ria's reading and will take it with me for a long time to come.”

“For me, there is a time before and a time after Ria’s reading of my evolutionary birth chart. The depth, illumination, and inspiration of our session set forth ripples in my mind and heart that continue to spread widely and integrate deeply into my view of life and who I truly am. This expansion of identity is paired with unconditional acceptance, which Ria so warmly held as she took my hand and showed me myself.
There is a profound generosity in giving someone the opportunity to see them self in a far larger context than we are normally taught; to know them self as a being in process, with so many facets and capacities and works, all their own. Which may have otherwise gone unrecognized, and thus possibly unfulfilled without that pointing.
With the gift of Ria’s heartful, and simultaneously sharply insightful, translation of one’s unique chart, one is given the rare opportunity to proceed in their journey of life with their capacity of self understanding and compassion radically expanded. I know that the ripples set forth for me will only reverberate more and more profoundly as I continue to unfold in the truest ways I know I was meant to.”

“For those who would like to know themselves better, to get a better understanding of where they are coming from, and of how they might use that understanding to expand their spirit, Ria is a perceptive and gentle guide. During my chart reading, Ria's gentle but professional guidance led me on a journey of self exploration. I was able to more clearly understand aspects of how I live in the world, of how, by focusing on my strengths, I can be more grounded in all aspects of my life. Ria is a trustworthy and compassionate guide on the journey of self discovery.””

“Ria! Another masterful job! Beyond the technicalities of astrology, and beyond the mathematics, lies the heart-felt and inspirational qualities which are conveyed from astrologer to client. Steve often talks about the chart behind the chart. I’d like to suggest that just as important, is the energy and intention behind the words we speak. I, and everyone else, could tell that you were conveying a whole lot of love on the carrier waves of your words! Your technicalities and mathematics were accurate, masterful, and erudite. The love, encouragement, support, and inspiration came through in all of the words that you said. Excellent job!”

“I have always felt the inner sense of my purpose in life, buts that it? How did it come to be? Can there be only one asks the Gemini? How can I understand this more deeply as I meander on the trail of many choices? Why do I sabotage precious moments on this life journey to do and be better? And, why do I ask so many questions?
Thankfully, Ria took me on a trusted journey to understand the depth of these mysteries. I only needed to listen. Skillfully she interpreted my chart with intelligence and a sensitivity that is uniquely her own. Her insights left me hopeful, surprised, and inspired. In the end it was truly and transformative experience and continues to work its way through my heart. ”

“Ria was the first astrologer to read my chart and I was a little nervous going into it because I didn’t know what to expect. Her warmth and knowledge were evident right from the start as she guided me with curiosity, wisdom, and expertise on this path of self-discovery. She had insight into some of my core challenges but also helped me celebrate some of the gifts that came along with those. The reading was a very supportive and intimate experience that shed light on old narratives and opened me up to new ideas and new possibilities.”

“I’ve had two sessions with Ria and already looking forward to the next one. To feel truly seen can feel transcendent, vulnerable, and miraculous. Our session winded naturally through several topics that were of interest to me. Ria was extremely prepared, and I had the sense we could have gone down any road I navigated towards. I recorded the session and treasure every second because it’s hard to absorb everything in real time. The meaning has evolved for me as my life circumstances change. I appreciated Ria’s approach which does not provide directives or answers to specific questions. Rather, she is an interpreter of a complex star language most of us will never understand. And while this star language was written the moment we were born, with lifetimes of prologues, our narrative belong to us alone. Our two way conversation empowered me and helped me understand how to nourish my soul and be my truest self. Our truths sets us free. And what a gift it is to receive that from someone who is so passionate, gentle, loving, and kind. It is a deep honor to work with Ria.”

“In a nutshell, I had never felt so seen as I did after I left my session with Ria. I felt like a mirror that was polished – completely free to shine and reflect upon my unique gifts. I gained clarity on some of the sticky parts that have troubled me about myself and also some tools on how to best express my creativity - which is sorely needed for my cosmic makeup. She is such a kind and thoughtful guide, and I recommend her to anyone looking to explore more of their innate selves.”

“I was not aware of the process or what the results might be ,as I had never had a chart reading. I was curious and reached out to see what it might have to say and if I could learn from it. Ria was very conscientious and asked me for some specific details to complete a more accurate reading, and after I supplied what she asked for she worked on one for me and had me over to discuss the findings. Her space was comfortable and she made me feel at ease and was very attentive to my feelings as she shared with me what the chart had to reveal. I could not be more pleased with the way in which she did the work for me. I am completely satisfied and was so happy to learn.”
