NATAL ASTROLOGY READING
$200.00 / Session
Our readings are based in Vedic and Mahākala systems of astrology. They shed light on your natural, unique and pre-destined trajectory in life. By reading the sky’s configuration at your moment of birth, the astrologer can provide insights into your karmic patterning of mind, energy & conduct that will impel you for better or worse throughout your life. Themes explored during a natal astrology reading include:
-
Core themes related to your personality, purpose and overall experience of life.
-
Your “Fixed Karmas” (limited conditioning), potential blind spots and/or main obstacles, as well as solutions to overcome them.
-
Natural strengths & talents providing insights into your unique purpose (expression of contribution) in this lifetime.
-
Your inborn spiritual capacities and how to actualize them.
-
Explorations of various spiritual traditions, style of relating to a teacher, and sādhanās (practices) best suited to your unique path in this lifetime.
-
How to create a powerful alignment with the larger cycles (phases) of time & space revealed in your chart, enabling you to follow the “path of least resistance” while maximizing your benefits.
Indian Astrology recognizes that there is an interplay between fate and free will in every person’s life. Human destiny is not dependent on a predestined fate alone. Nor is human life completely open like a blank slate. To honor this relationship between fate and free will, specific predictions related to mundane matters (ex. marriage, progeny, work promotions, relocation, etc.) will rarely be addressed during the reading (unless these themes are directly influencing one’s Nādī Display or fated trajectory and then they will be discussed).
The astrologer will paint a picture of your life in its most actualized form given the fixed & non-fixed karmas showing up in the birth chart. The birth chart is used during the reading as a tool for self-reflection. You and the astrologer will engage the chart as a map or guide to assist your process of attaining deeper self-knowledge. The astrologer will use the chart as a “mirror” to reflect positive themes in your life, while also shedding light on areas hidden from your normal conscious awareness where you are likely to have blind spots creating obstacles. Because the systems of astrology applied are focused on the spiritual and not the mundane aspects of life, the aim of the overall reading is to equip you with the knowledge & awareness needed to overcome karmic limitations and expand your inborn virtue-based potentials so that you may live a life of contribution, contentment and spiritual attainment.
RELATIONSHIP COMPATIBILITY READING
Artist: Robert Beer
$200.00 / Session
A Compatibility Astrology reading serves as an invaluable tool to better understand the karmic relationship between you and your significant other, or potential significant other. The “eight cornerstone combinations” will be discussed to assess the confluence or dissonance in relation to...
-
Strength of physical attraction and sexual compatibility
-
The flavor of day-to-day relating in worldly matters, the way you do life
-
Emotional harmony
-
Soul values, life philosophies, points of view, etc...
-
Desires, passions & areas of mutual enjoyment
-
Intellectual connection
-
The overall ease and qualities of communications
-
Shared and contrasting values related to having and raising children
-
Mutual enjoyment of physical activities
-
Shared or contrasting views on responsibility & security
Rather than a “Yes” or “No” answer when it comes to compatibility, the aim of the reading is to provide both partners with a qualitative understanding of their (potential) relationship. By looking into each person’s fixed personality, approach to life and relational skill-set, the couple can gain an accurate perception of each other without obfuscating expectations and projections.
The clarity gained in a compatibility session can be used to assess the level of compatibility with a potential partner. It can also be used to take your existing relationship to an even deeper level of love, support and harmony. If there has been a history of poor relating or your relationship is on the rocks, the compatibility session can serve in the healing process by creating a profoundly new level of understanding and acceptance of each other.
ORACULAR ADVICE & PRAŚNA ASTROLOGY
$150.00 / Session
Looking for guidance around a specific question? Oracular Methods of Divination (Daoist Zhouyi & Stav Runes) & Praśna Astrology can provide insights to help you make the best decision appropriate to the karmic forces at play. Questions related to mundane matters (ex. relocation, big purchase, career change, pursuing a relationship, etc.) can be explored, as well as questions to help contextualize a current crossroad of life, etc. This is highly recommended in charged circumstances that require outer insights for clarity and direction.
FOLLOW UP READINGS
$100.00 / Session
If new questions have arisen since your last reading or you’ve entered a new planetary cycle and would like to delve deeper into the specific indications for that precise time period of your life, you can book in for a follow-up reading. Follow-up readings make use of a variety of astrological techniques and systems to meet the needs of the inquiry. It is common for people to have a yearly session called a solar return. It’s also strongly advised to have follow up readings in preparation for two particularly challenging periods called:
-
“Sade Sati” where the planet Saturn affects your moon or inner sense of well-being for 7.5 years
-
“Saturn Return” which is the 2.5 years that Saturn returns to its position in the sky when you were born.
Both of these periods can create tremendous upheaval in your life. Advice on how to navigate these cycles of time specific to how they will play out in your life given your own unique set of karmas seen in your chart can be the difference between a great period of personal growth and a fall into protracted confusion and the karmas that arise from choices made during such a confusing and unclear period.

(Dharma Bodhi & Sahajadākinī during Long Life Puja)
Kol Martens (Dharma Bodhi) is a lineage holder of ancient Tantrik Yoga of India, and a longtime student of Tibetan Dzogchen meditation. His spiritual journey includes a decade long foray into various systems of shamanic healing while maintaining chiropractic and Ayurveda health clinics in USA and Australia. He trained with a Master of Stav (pre-Christian Scandinavian path work) and with Shamans in the mountains of Ukraine; with Lakota and Cherokee medicine men and women; and in the Amazon jungles of Peru. He was initiated as an Ayahuascero in 1990 by Don Augustin.
Sahajadākinī moved to Thailand in 2010 to study as a full time apprentice with Dharma Bodhi after recognizing the efficacy and holistic nature of alternative Eastern approaches for psycho-spiritual growth and healing. She trained as an Ācārya (teacher) in the nondual traditions of philosophy and practice at Dharma Bodhi's retreat center in Thailand, with an emphasis in Jyotish (Indian Astrology) and Kundalinī Hatha Yoga. Her continued commitment to train in the Trika Mahāsiddha path and embody the full wisdom as a modern-day yoginī has led to daily immersion in a rich learning and practice environment in the coastal jungles of Costa Rica.
