Father time, the Devil himself, the Hermit card from the Tarot, your grandpa: Saturn, the lord of boundaries, rules and come-uppance, appears in many guises.
Tuesday May 26th 2020
And even these ((the common hill fairy, the standard elf of folk-lore) are in danger of being banished into the limbo of forgetfulness by the quite artificial fairy of juvenile literary commerce, with gauzy wing and skirts reminiscent of the ballet. It has always seemed to me extraordinary that literature has been able to create wings where none were before, for our native fairies are as wingless as ourselves.

Testimonials
It was an incredible reading. Thank you so much. I really felt like you connected with the energy and you've really, really helped me as an astrologer and as a female.
Spain
Thank you for today’s consultation. After the session the previously unclear situation made sense and I knew better which direction to move forward. Glad I found your website and had an opportunity to talk to you – phone consultation saved time to go and see you in person and still was very efficient! Thanks!
Leeds
It has been amazing everything you told me… happens!!!!!
Oxford
Wow – I feel good after that. It was like a spa or something for my mind. It was really positive. And I feel it was also very true. I feel good about myself.
Oxford
You showed me a new way of looking at things that really woke me up. I don’t think I’m ever going to look at my life in the same way again. I feel so much better!
Virginia
I can’t believe how accurate you were – and how useful it was. It was like having a very strong light shone on my soul. I can see stuff that’s bugged me for years in a whole new way now and it doesn’t seem like I’m stuck anymore. How did you know that stuff? Thanks
Oxford
I found it extremely helpful, insightful, and reassuring. Funny enough, the very next day (Fri) I ended up getting a job! … How weird is that?! I have to say, I went into the interview on Friday more confident about myself as a person and I attribute a big part of that to our discussions. So again, thank you!
London
Dear Christina thank you so much for everything. It is very unusual to have such a precise picture of who we are. Amazing… Thank you. Your style of writing is fun and full of energy
Burundi
Listening again [to the CD], I am reminded of your wisdom and humanity. Thanks again for a great reading.
Oxford
…so far everything we talked about has materialised…Thank you for all your kindness …
London
I was a little unsure what to expect, but I found the session extremely useful. As you say, it has definitely given me some food for thought. I have been busy thinking things over in my head since last Tuesday – what you said feels right. I think I always knew about some of the things you explained, but I was not able to articulate it (to myself or other people).
Newbury
You really helped me to take the long view of my life and put it in perspective. And you really listened to me. I felt like a huge burden had been lifted when I left your house…
Oxford
I wanted to thank you again for the consultation last week. There were a lot of things to cover and I was frequently biting my tongue because I didn’t want the discussion to digress too much. In regards to Mars retrograde in my 2nd house being related to money, that was quite funny because you were so accurate.
Melbourne
You are so amazing! You are absolutely spot on… I so appreciate your insight and wisdom. I no longer have to look for an astrologer. I have found the best!
California
You are very good at diving deep WITH someone. I felt seen in a way I don’t when the astrologer does all the talking ... my readings were fresh baked, sprung directly from your celestial oven, and I had something to do with the mix. Extremely satisfying. I can tell a reading is good for me when I refer back to it a lot.
