FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What information do you need for my reading?
For an individual reading, you will need:
- Your date of birth
- Your exact time of birth
- Your place of birth
For relationship readings, the same information is needed for both people.
An accurate birth time is especially important because it determines your Ascendant and houses.
What if I don’t know my exact birth time?
You can still receive certain types of readings, but some parts of the analysis may be limited.
Without an accurate birth time, house placements, the Ascendant, Midheaven, and other time-sensitive chart factors cannot be interpreted with the same confidence.
If your birth time is unknown, this will be taken into account when preparing your reading.
Are these live consultations?
No. Cosmic Dust readings are written, personalized reports prepared specifically from the birth information you provide.
This allows the chart to be examined carefully and gives you a reading you can save and return to whenever you want.
Which reading should I choose?
Choose a Natal Portrait if you want to understand your birth chart, personality, emotional patterns, strengths, challenges, relationships, and deeper developmental themes.
Choose a Relationship Reading if you want to understand the dynamics between two people.
Choose a Forecast if you want to understand the major astrological cycles interacting with your chart now or during a particular period.
Does a difficult transit mean something bad will happen?
No.
A challenging astrological configuration describes activation and pressure, not a guaranteed event.
The same configuration can manifest externally through circumstances, relationships, opportunities, endings, beginnings, or decisions—or internally through realizations, emotional shifts, changing priorities, and psychological development.
This is one reason Cosmic Dust looks for convergence rather than interpreting a single transit as a prediction.
Can astrology predict exactly what will happen?
I do not treat astrology as a system in which one planetary configuration guarantees one specific event.
Astrology can identify periods of heightened activation, important themes, turning points, opportunities, challenges, and areas of life receiving unusual emphasis.
The stronger the convergence of independent factors, the more significant a period may be. But astrology describes the quality and timing of the terrain, not a predetermined script.
What does convergence mean?
Convergence occurs when multiple significant astrological factors independently emphasize the same theme, area of the chart, or period of time.
For example, one major transit may activate relationships while an eclipse simultaneously activates the same relationship axis and another timing technique emphasizes the same planets.
That concentration carries considerably more interpretive weight than one isolated transit.
Convergence is an important part of the Cosmic Dust method.
Do you analyze relationships between two people?
Yes.
Relationship astrology can examine attraction, emotional connection, communication, compatibility, tension, recurring patterns, areas of growth, and the nature of the relationship itself.
Rather than reducing compatibility to whether two Sun signs match, the reading examines the interaction between two complete charts and the relationship patterns created between them.
Can I order a reading about someone else?
You may order a relationship reading involving yourself and another person when you have the birth information necessary for the analysis.
The purpose of the reading is to help you understand the relationship dynamics and your experience of them, rather than to claim certainty about another person’s private thoughts or choices.
Are astrology readings a substitute for professional advice?
No. Cosmic Dust Astrology readings are intended for personal insight, reflection, and exploration.
They are not substitutes for medical, mental-health, legal, financial, or other licensed professional advice.
How will I receive my reading?
Your completed reading will be delivered digitally, allowing you to keep it, reread it, and refer back to important dates and interpretations.
I still don’t know which reading to choose.

If it is What is happening in my life now, and what is coming next? choose a Forecast.
