Welcome to The Oxford Astrologer.
So glad you dropped by.
This website was made with the intention of creating a beautiful, calm space away from the fractious hubbub of the rest of the internet in which to contemplate the power, beauty and wisdom of astrology, and bring this ancient science to life.
Most of the thousands of words on this site were written by me, Christina (scroll down to find out more), with some contributions by friends. There are articles on all kinds of topics from Prince William to ADHD, Lady Gaga to the Pope, Sedna to the Sun, and loads of other aspects of astrology. Have a dig around for yourself.
Among the words, there are also videos to watch which will lead you to my YouTube channel. And you can listen to Astrology Talk, a podcast I co-host with my friend Sally. Just scroll down to find the audio.

About me
Hello, I’m Christina Rodenbeck, a UK-based astrologer, and I created The Oxford Astrologer in 2010, because I'm a writer as well as an astrologer -- and I think words are even better married to the beautiful images. I started casting charts in the 1990s, and since then my techniques, understanding and knowledge have evolved. I specialise in personal readings, because I find people completely fascinating, and helping others seems to me the best use of astrology. But I’m also deeply engaged by how astrology works in the wider world — politics, history, celebrity and the general zeitgeist. For a few years, I wrote a fashion column for The Astrological Journal. On Astrology It’s a huge privilege and delight to work with a system of knowledge that is actually magical. Astrology is a gift that shows us a glimmer of the web that binds together the living universe. It’s awesome in the true sense of the word, and yet sometimes so amazing that it makes me laugh out loud with wonder.
CONSULTATIONS
I love meeting in person and talking about your chart, your soul, your future — and your past.
Zoom works really well for this kind of intimate conversation. It is best to book in advance, but check the calendar and you might find something sooner.
Follow the links below for more information about types of consultation, pricing & what I need from you to draw up a chart, and then you can go straight to the calendar to book.
Astrology Talk is a monthly conversation between me and my friend and colleague Sally Kirkman. We take a look at the month ahead, discuss what’s just happened and generally chew the astrological fat. The main podcast is broadcast on the 18th of every month, at the start of each sign.
We also host a sister podcast — Astrology Talk Investigates — in which we discuss a specific question. That comes out on the 8th of every month. You can find Astrology Talk on all good platforms, watch it on YouTube or listen to it here.
Do send in your questions — burning or otherwise.
