In Person
By E-mail Astrology provides a framework for imagining a profound intimacy between ourselves and our world. I view astrology as metaphorical. I do not engage in fortune telling, nor do I believe the stars and planets have any actual influence over our lives. Weaving elements of counseling with the archaic discipline of astrology brings together the modern and the ancient in a timely and unique fashion. Ensuring comfort and privacy, I maintain my office in my home and I do not accept insurance. Single consultations are $90 for a 90 minute session.
Ongoing counseling incorporating your natal chart is $60 per one hour session.
E-consults which are writing intensive are also available via email for $150. I can be reached at BradKochunas@yahoo.com or 513/422.1270 |

Printed Reports: |
I also offer neatly bound 40+ page personal astrological profiles using Matrix AstroTalk. These make wonderful gifts and are intended to be educational and entertaining. They are priced at $20. or $15. each for two or more. As with all astrology they require birthdate, time, and place. |

My favorite astrology book: |
The Planets Within, by Thomas Moore which set me in the direction of realizing astrology is best utilized as an imaginal discipline to be taken seriously but not literally and as a primary method for cultivating imagination in our lives, a form of soulmaking. |
