"I found my chart reading with Michael to be very affirming. I have had my Western and Vedic charts read, and Michael's chart reading was quite unique and really honed in on very specific areas of my personality and my life experience that the other chart readings did not address and answered many questions I have always had about myself. I felt like Michael held a safe space for me to go deep into exploring my patterns and the karmic situations in my life that needed further understanding and healing. He has a very calming and caring presence and a very clear mastery of the Evolutionary Astrology system he uses in his sessions. I recommend anyone wanting a focused, deep, healing, and unique approach to understanding and working with themselves to seek out Michael of One Sky Astrology for a reading. I was very impressed and felt empowered by my session with him."

Thank you for your follow-up and willingness to provide additional clarification on certain points. Your effort in ensuring that I was fully satisfied with the reading is greatly appreciated. The level of detail, care, and ability to articulate complex concepts with ease made the experience truly meaningful.

As a fellow sidereal astrologist, I looked to Michael to give me some insights on some questions I had about astrocartography. He was so generous with his response and resources and at a time when he was personally very busy. So I appreciated that! I also LOVE his lunar cycle videos - very comprehensive and he brings in some of the other energy aspects (i.e. asteroids, etc.).

Having had a few readings over the years, I can honestly say Michael of One Sky Astrology is in a league of his own. His chart interpretation and transits are the most thorough and insightful I have ever had . His knowledge and expertise is so extensive and always very interesting! I would highly recommend Michael to anyone. He is also the only astrologer I have ever recommend. Exceptional, thank you Michael. It is always a real joy to connect with Michael. He's such a lovely man and so easy to talk to, which makes all the difference.

This was one of the most insightful astrology sessions I've ever had. Through Michael's lens, I saw parts of my chart, and my self, in new ways. His evolutionary bent lends itself to penetrating insights. In addition to the thoughtful, soul-reflecting observations, Michael held beautiful space. He was totally present, interested, and very gentle. I got a lot out of this reading.

Out of the multitudinous resources available online today regarding astrology and the readily available tools for people to use, astrology charts are among the most popular. Whether you are an avid advocate of astrology or just an occasional visitor, I have to recommend Michael as the go-to for insights you might not find otherwise. I found him to be very professional, dedicated, and insightful in our session together. The fact that he could tell me specific critical components of life-changing events in my life was not insignificant. However, the real gift is his intuition. Anyone can learn the different disciplines of science, and ancient astrology definitely is a form of science; still, not everyone is skilled in the amalgamation of intuition with the tools of science. I found his insights balanced and succinctly clear in a way that empowered my self-knowledge to continue to move my life in a direction that benefits my highest good and the highest good of those I love. A big shout out to him and a thank you!

Having my natal chart done with Michael was a truly mind blowing experience. I have had my natal chart interpreted a few times before, but this was the one that I found truly indepth, thorough and totally accurate. It has also been the most useful reading to me on my life journey and it was incredible the amount of information Michael was able to give. It made so many things clear to me that I hadn`t really understood before about my life, including my childhood experiences and life path. I booked my transits not long after this, and as I went through the year, Michael`s reading was just so exact it was amazing, not to mention an incredibly useful guide for the months ahead. I now book Michael every year for my transits and can honestly say that as far as I am concerned, Michael is the best astrologer I have ever known. Always I have found him polite, friendly, compassionate and really easy to talk to, all of which are very important when life situations or experiences may be a little sensitive. I would absolutely recommend Michael with no hesitation whatsoever.

Michael is very knowledgeable about his craft and open minded (no fear, guilt or dogma).. He handles you very gently and holds space for you. If you're self conscious about your chart, he doesn't leave you out in the cold as he can see the silver lining in things. The reading helps you to gain insight and articulate some things that you couldn't before and he gives ample time in a session to get through the information and dialogue about it. He's very patient, open to questions and somehow manages to deliver and transmute any potentially sensitive topic with ease and grace. I highly recommend getting a reading with Michael.

Cassandra

Who knew so much insight could be gained through astrology?! Michael clearly knows what he's talking about and not only that - absolutely beams with joy during the session because you can tell he's doing what he loves. I learned so much about myself and my path. Michael answered all of my questions and gave me deep insight on areas I could focus my energy on to my benefit. I truly enjoyed sitting with him and will absolutely be back when I need some guidance in the future. More awareness needs to be shined on how valuable this subject is and Michael is the place to start.

My experience with One Sky Astrology has been nothing short of life changing. I, like many, have studied astrology throughout my life. Yet, nothing rang true until I started listening to Sidereal Astrology -- especially at One Sky Astrology on YouTube. I then had One Sky do several charts for myself & family members. The charts were so in-depth -- so well researched -- that they gave us the tools to better understand ourselves... achieve our individual goals.... Yet, more importantly, they helped our family dynamic get back onto a more positive & productive track. We are eternally grateful for One Sky Astrology's insight, input, and support of our personal & family needs. Thank you One Sky Astrology! 🙏💖🙏 -- S A R

You're really amazing, as an astrologer, as an analyst, as a therapist, as a seer, as a validator. So worth every penny!

Michael feels like a well seasoned astrologer, who is passionate about what he knows. I am an astrology student and he was great at tailoring our time to where my understanding of astrology is at so that we could go deep into my chart. As a women, I found him very professional and aware of boundaries, and he had also come highly recommended from a friend. I found the reading to be very expansive and grounded. He was realistic about my chart and gave me helpful advice that was focused and sincere.

My work brings the paradigm of Evolutionary Astrology into the focus of True Sidereal or Constellational practice... Applying the wisdom of Evolutionary Astrology has proven it to be the most transformative, compassionate, and therapeutically beneficial school of practice available to me... and using the actual living sky (instead of an approximated zodiac of even 30 degree signs) is the most accurate method of astrology that I have yet discovered. I don't believe in a "correct" or "best" way to practice, but it's important to me to have as scientific a basis as possible, in the tradition of the ancient astronomer/astrologers.

I was lucky enough to stumble upon astrology relatively early in life. At age 19 I met Christine Gonze Conrad as a client... she eventually took me under her wing and did her best to instill in me an appreciation for the basic astrological principles and ideas. I was immediately fascinated by this language of archetypes, mythos, and psyche. The fractal patterns of the cosmos had always mystified me, but the language and utility of astrology awed me. To wake up connected to that awe each day, and be able to provide a conduit to it for others is a delight that I'm constantly grateful for.


Astrology and sidereal mythology are so powerful. I consider it a sacred duty to uphold the responsibilities that come along with that power, and I frame everything that I present in terms of personal empowerment... especially challenging influences. Some aspects and placements have certain reputations as "bad", and rightfully so in many cases, but there is great possibility to learn about how to support and balance those specific challenges. Armed with knowledge of the fundamental mechanics at work, we can blend and harmonize energies which may not naturally be at ease, resolving dis-ease and anxieties. We can identify places where tensions build up and avoid potential problems by recognizing constructive outlets for those energies. We can gain tremendous confidence in our natural right to be ourselves; just as we are, and we can realize that although we all carry our unique struggles, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with us. Becoming familiar with one's own astrology starts to build very meaningful bridges between the inner and outer worlds of one's existence.


I've studied astrology for over twenty years, following my own transits as I learned. I came to realize that within the world of western practice and the tropical zodiac, there were things that always made a profound amount of sense, like aspects and personal transits... but then there were always things that I didn't relate to and suspected of being inaccurate. (...like why I felt sure I wasn't actually a Libra Sun, why neither Venus or Mars placements felt right, the rulership of my 2nd house (among others) made no sense, and other instances of feeling jarringly disconnected from my tropical birth chart... like something wasn't right).


Friends suggested that I cast my vedic chart online. When I learned that I could be a Virgo Sun, that resonated very well, as did the new idea that I did not actually have an overabundance of air planets, but rather earth planets (also matching my experience of myself). These discoveries motivated me. I dug deeper and learned that vedic zodiacs were sidereal, meaning 'oriented to the stars' while tropical ones were oriented to the northern seasons. Digging into the history of astrology, I learned that in the ancient world, astrology had universally been practiced using the actual sky, or with sidereal charts, data, etc.


I was in the course of seeking a sidereal astrologer to consult, when one of my friends told me that she was doing something completely sidereal... not even using the usual zodiac but rather the actual skies... and she wanted to read my chart. She had been studying with a teacher named Athen who was doing something called 'true sidereal astrology'... we sat down and right away it made crisp clear sense. I was looking at what felt like an accurate map... true to my lived experience of myself in every way... a door had opened. 

When we understand and align with the forces at work in our lives, we can gain agency and personal power. On the other hand, we're also able to understand those forces and aspects of our experience which may lie outside of our control. A holistic approach to astrology acknowledges both our natural strengths and limitations, and all in a personally empowering way. Illumination of a client's psyche and life path is a profoundly meaningful offering that I make in order to assist them on their life journey, to bring benefit to them. It has proven to be consistently helpful; a deepening of the knowledge of what makes us unique as individuals... and also our role as an integrated part of a living cosmos. It's been a deep honor to be able to make that offering. 


In service to the highest good and to others, I have completed Mark Jones' Counseling Skills For Astrologers coursework. I also strive to meet and exceed the ethical guidelines for astrological practice agreed upon by the International Society for Astrological Research (ISAR).  For an unabridged list of ISAR's code of ethics, click here.
