    Mini Reading
    Nancy Schertzing, Baltimore, MD


    This mini reading surprised me. It gave me a new perspective on my relationship with myself and it helped me examine behaviors and beliefs that can block my authentic relationships with others. Thanks so much, Marina!

    It was a great chart reading! I came away with some confirmations on things I was already thinking about and hope for the future. I've got a few actionable items that I'll be working on as well!

    Astrological Consultation
    Jude, Eugene, OR


    Very Helpful! That certainly cleared up several things for me. Marina illuminated my chart for me, showing the why of several things I was aware of and opening new avenues of exploration for me. I feel like I can now move through these most interesting times with a bit more understanding of myself and how I can interact in a positive manner. Well worth it!

    Sarah J., Bend, OR


    My year-ahead reading with Marina was truly wonderful. Her evolutionary read on the lunar nodes was so helpful in understanding the past year and the opportunities that are ahead. It was conversational, which allows for a deeper experience than just a reading with the aspects in play. I highly recommend a reading with Marina.

    Mini Reading
    Subscriber, Uk/AU


    I'm a subscriber & chose the mini reading as I wanted a quick synopsis for the short term - decisions to be made between what I wish to pursue & towards which I have been working, versus a different path to which I seem to be increasingly directed. 
    Marina's reading has confirmed that dilemma, (of which she was unaware)
    I highly recommend Marina & respect her in depth knowledge of this Ancient Science & will definitely book a full reading with her.

About Marina Ormes

I’m Marina Ormes and I've been using astrology as a tool for transformation for over 30 years.

I love how the natural cycles and rhythms of astrology provide us with a template for getting the most out of each day and manifesting the things we want.

When I first learned astrology I was shocked to discover that it includes cycles that support our healing.

It helps us consciously create the outcomes we want in health, finances, relationships, social and political causes, creative work and projects, and more.

The deepening self-awareness and empowerment that comes from knowing the bigger picture awakens our ability to have experiences in alignment with our soul’s deepest desires.

We are far more powerful than we realize, and astrology is a wonderful tool for helping us achieve our most brilliant, limitless potential.
