You’re standing at the edge of a season you can’t name yet.
You feel the old chapter closing.
The next one hasn't fully arrived.
You’re longing for clarity, grounding, and a cosmically-informed sense of direction before you take your next step.
This is a focused, one-hour live astrology reading for your current season; what is releasing, what is being called forward, and how to move with courage rather than resistance.
That is what The Brave Beginning is all about. For when you want to dive in, without feeling the current of your past drag you backward. You’re able to look at outdated patterns, and make an astrologically supported choice to move forward with intention, and love for all versions of yourself.

I’m a Helenistic astrologer who uses tropical astrology and whole-house systems.
All of my offerings are based on connection and bridging the gap between your head and heart.
My focus is Astro-Herbalism, though I deeply enjoy working with each modality (and others) separately.
I believe in whole body wellness, encompassing a spiritual and physical relationship. Working with herbs is just as spiritual as working with the stars. It’s a language that’s shared among the plants and cosmos that I’ve spent years attuning myself to. -
Face-to-face conversations are a vital part of astrology, herbal, and astro-herbal consultations.
Having a live conversaion leaves room for questions, feedback, and subtle nuances is what makes a reading or meeting special. I see clients all over the world, thanks to the internet.
Though my camera will be on, you’re not obligated to turn your camera on. What matters most is being in a quiet and comfortable spot where you can speak freely.
You will be sent a recording and transcription afterwards.

No, I see folks with zero knowledge, fellow astrologers, and everyone in between.
I encourage you to ask questions, and advocate to go at a slower pace if need be.

I’ll go over your booking questions and research your chart for quite some time before our meeting. I’ll look for patterns, answers, and places that might need more attention in your life to unlock the next chapter that you’re looking for.
I love looking at different timing techniques, and aim to provide a clear path forward that’s influenced by your astrological bluebrint of your natal chart.
I hold confidentiality to the upmost respect, and your reading will not be discussed with others.
Being trauma-informed shapes every part of how I work, allowing me to meet people with care, consent, and respect for their lived experiences. I understand how grief, loss, and transition live in the nervous system, not just the mind, and I move at a pace that honors safety and choice. My background helps me recognize when someone needs grounding, spaciousness, or gentle structure rather than pushing for insight or resolution.

What I’ll need
Your birth date
Your birth time (as accurate as possible)
Your birth location
A brief note about where you are in your journey, and where you feel lost or where you might need more illumination.
What to expect
This session is paced by you. Readings are live, and you’ll also leave with a recording and transcript to look back on. I am comfortable with silence as we navigate your chart together, and dig in deep so we can unearth some of your more subconscious patterns. By intentionally deconstructing different wounds, societal impacts, or outdated self-talk, you’ll leave with a better sense of self-understanding and have a map toward your ideal future self.
Optional herbal support
For those who want to be held in the body as well as the spirit, personalized herbal guidance is available through the lens of medical astrology. Gentle, constitution-based, and rooted in nourishment. Never required, this is simply an open door for those who feel called.
Adding on herbal support includes an in-depth look at your current constitution, and we create a custom 6-week plan. We go in-depth on stress, digestion, diet, sleep, and ancesteral patterns.
Self reflection
You do not need to arrive with the right words or a clear narrative. Most people come with only a feeling, a weight they've been carrying, a question that hasn't fully formed. That is more than enough. The session will meet you exactly where you are.
You’re welcome to be as detailed or as brief in your appointment booking as you’d like. My readings are extremely interactive and reflective; they’re not passive. You won’t be “talked at” for the duration of our session. It’s a spiritual conversation.
Love from clients
“I absolutely love Courtney’s approach to readings and how personable she is. She really takes the time to explain what you don’t fully understand and enhance what you do already know. My [1:1 consultation] was all encompassing, hitting the important transits, beginning, middle and end. The accessibility of being able to access your charts plus the transcription after the meeting was also very key so I didn’t have to completely rely on my notes I took! Courtney is fantastic and lovely, love having a queer astrologer to work with.”
“I had a [private consultation] with Courtney and honestly, it was exactly what I needed. I was feeling stuck and unsure about some things in my life, and she really helped bring clarity. She’s super easy to talk to, explained everything in a way that made sense, and made the whole experience comfortable. Truly felt like I was talking to a supportive friend. I left the sessions feeling at ease and excited for the future. I’m already looking forward to future sessions. Highly recommend Courtney if you're seeking spiritual guidance and good energy!”
“Every event I have ever been to [at The Cosmic Craft] has been incredibly grounding and rejuvenating. Courtney is so skilled at what she does- I have taken part in several [live events] and have had my astrology chart read by her and she is the REAL DEAL! Everything she does is filled with intention and positivity. She and her [events] are a huge asset to this community!”
