29. Ask Jonathan: How I Do Readings & Where I Stray From Astrological Traditions

What's my process in preparing for first-time readings? Where do I most stray from astrological traditions?

I'm trying something new! Episodes 26-31 will be me answering some of the most juicy questions I received from my Instagram community. I had so much fun answering these questions, and I hope you'll find something useful from my answers, too. 

(PS - In the intro to the episode, I mentioned the wrong sequence of the episodes. Oops! Episode 26 will actually cover Lion's Gate, Housing Contract, and Chiron in Cancer. Meanwhile, Episode 31 covers questions on working with naysayers of astrology and the contradiction of astrology.)

In this episode, I answered the following questions: 

• [08:12] "What is your current approach to interpreting a natal chart for a new client?"
• [27:06] "Where do you find yourself most straying from tradition in your astro practice and why?" | "What is a piece of commonly believed astrology wisdom that you strongly disagree with?"

Feel free to jump around within & between episodes to listen to the answers to the questions you're interested in! Use the timestamps to help you out :)

If you resonate with my approach to astrology, join me and Britten LaRue in our upcoming year-long astrological learning container, Astrology as Praxis! Our curriculum explores various portals to approaching and integrating astrology into our lives - as a practice for unlocking creativity, questioning consensus reality, and remembering our participation in the cosmic body. We begin our journey on Sep 10, 2022, and registration will open on Aug 26-28, 2022.

EXPLORATORY CALLS: If you are interested in exploring whether you will be a good fit for Astrology as Praxis and vice versa, I will be offering a limited number of 1:1 calls! These calls will be 30 mins - and they're geared to serve you in feeling into your own resonance.
