See special savings offer on Alchemical Astrology sessions (including Venus Focused Sessions) below.
Alchemical Astrology is the evolution of what was formerly known as Shamanic Astrology (as taught by the former Shamanic Astrology Mystery School) recognizing that Alchemy has always been a prominent feature for having a direct experience of the astrological mysteries.
An Alchemical Astrology session gives you insights, tools, and guidance for making those conscious important life decisions. This knowledge empowers you to recognize and choose to live your life purpose, while also understanding and consciously navigating the issues and challenges that may arise.
During your first time session, we will look at your natal chart, also called your divine blueprint. You will get a sense of your current life purpose and the skill set you’ve brought into this life as well as places you may get stuck and guidance on how to get unstuck.
We will also look at your personal initiation cycles as a way to determine the best choices for you at the time. Your session will be personal to you, your life’s intent, your questions, and what you need.
Follow up sessions and updates go deeper into your natal chart and whatever cycles you are experiencing, along with other insights around progressions, solar return, and much more. See further down for more about this.
For more information about Alchemical Astrology, click on this link, What is Covered in a Personal Alchemical Astrology Session for an in-depth description of what we will cover or intend to cover depending on questions etc…
Part of the preparation for a personal reading includes an intake form I will send via email to you once we set up the time for your session. The intake form was available on this site until late 2019 before it stopped working for some unknown reason. Be sure to contact me at cayelin.k.c@gmail.com to set up your appointment.
Reading Special
$300 for a ninety minute session (regularly $333) when paying through Venmo, Zelle or Bank Check.
If paying through PayPal then the session is $312 for those in the USA and $321 outside the USA to cover the PayPal fees (and extra international fees) that have recently gone up again.
All first time sessions are 90 minutes as that is the amount of time needed to cover all the most important natal chart and transit information with time to answer your questions. Unless you opt for one of the first time session packages below.
This rate also reflects my preparation time, creating and sending charts, researching transits, email exchanges, and focusing on your intent and questions for the session.

Single Sessions
See the reading special rates above – under the heading Reading Special. Your session can be in person, by phone, or by Zoom Video.

*Recording Information
I do NOT guarantee recordings from my end so I highly recommend that you record the session yourself as a back up. When using the Zoom Video option you can record directly to your computer creating both audio and video files giving you instant access to the session once it is complete.
However you may still want to create a separate audio recording (from you phone or other device) just in case there is an issue with the Zoom recording. In the 6+ years I have been using Zoom I have only had it happen once that the Zoom recording couldn’t be found by the person recording the session.

Recording Information for All Types of Sessions
.
Recordings are not guaranteed.
Occasionally (almost never but once in a great while) there are technical glitches beyond my control. I am now using Zoom Video so you can record the session creating a video and audio recording directly to your computer. If you prefer I do the recording and send it to you I do charge an extra $15 due to the extra time it takes to download the Video File from Zoom and then upload the file to my sending platform and send it to you.
I recommend you consider doing a back up record of the session (most phones now have a recording option) in addition to Zoom just in case the Zoom recording doesn’t work out for some reason.
Information to Have Ready Before Your Sessions
I will send you an intake form once we schedule your session. The most important thing I need to get from you within 2 days of your initial session is:
- Birthdate
- Time (as close as possible)
- Place of birth
- A recent photo (can be emailed)
- A brief, written bio/life history (highly recommended – see intake form)
- Questions and concerns you want to cover
The bio/life history helps to begin the process of understanding the archetypal patterns as they are expressing for you. This is not required for the session but many have shared with me how surprisingly helpful filling out the Intake Form was for them.
A way to begin filling out the intake form is to set your intent for the session and then write what comes to you from that place. You can write a paragraph or several pages.
Whatever you’re inspired to write will help direct the focus of the session. It is true we get what we ask for and what we are willing to receive. The more you consciously participate with the initiatory process of an Alchemical Astrology session the more you will experience its potency and magic.
Intake form
Once you sign up for a session I will email you an intake form that will have questions similar to the ones below. These questions are suggestions to consider as you prepare for your session. Again answering these questions are not required but are often supportive to you in preparing for their session. There is no right or wrong way to answer or not answer these questions. I recommend you allow a few deep breaths and ask the part of you that knows – then trust what comes to you.
- Significant childhood experiences, siblings, and family dynamics
- Past and current relationships – marriages and long term relationships or lack of them
- Significant places you have lived
- Education including spiritual training
- Jobs – current job and what direction you want to go in with your job
- Repeating patterns in your life
- Your spiritual journey and religious upbringing
- Significant illnesses or accidents you have had or those close to you have experienced that have impacted your life
- Are you happy with who you are and how you are living your life?
- Are you in transition? If so, what are you transitioning from, and where do you see this transition taking you?
- Do you have questions about career, relationships, where to live, lifestyle choices?

Sliding Scale, Payment Plan or Other Equitable Exchange Options
I am committed to creating opportunities for all who genuinely desire to engage these mysteries and this sacred initiatory process. As I transform old limiting beliefs around money and valuing my work I am adjusting this option to reflect a new understanding.
I truly believe in and have experienced the transformative power of this work and if you are willing to apply this sacred knowledge to transform your life I know these sacred teachings will also guide you in creating greater happiness and success in your relationships, personal growth, business/career.
I have learned over the years that whenever one engages in an initiatory work that supports personal and spiritual growth it is important to honor that work with an equitable energy exchange. Our current culture uses money to create that exchange.
I am open to discussing a creative equitable exchange with those who are willing to come up with a plan that feels honoring of this work.
What I am asking is for you to present me with a plan that you feel is comparable to the fees I am charging. Please don’t ask me to create a plan for you because I don’t know your life situation. Plus, by coming up with your own plan for an equitable energy exchange it demonstrates to me that you understand the value of this opportunity and will therefore benefit from it.
The quote below belongs to a longer article by Drunvalo I came across years ago that explains more about the energetics and the importance of the energetic exchange.
The Sufi teachers I studied with believed that there must be an exchange or the student would miss the lesson. It didn’t have to be money, but there had to be an exchange of some kind.
After almost 20 years of experience around the subject of paying for spiritual knowledge, I also believe there needs to be a fair exchange. Not charging for spiritual teachings does not work for the teacher nor the student.
And what you personally believe around money will affect the outcome. Your beliefs about money will ultimately determine whether or not you succeed financially. And succeeding financially is important, because until you do, you will be limited in your ability to share with others the spiritual teachings that God has given to you.
