    Astrological Consultation
    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.

    (As a Statistician/Mathematician, my initial studies in Astrology started some 40yrs ago, more to 'disprove' it's relevance.
    Relegating individuals to just 12 Signs/characteristics is a GROSS abomination of the value of this ancient Science.
    I became amazed at what a full Birth Chart revealed along with the transiting configurations that form & present us with choices by shedding light on those pathways as we pass through this World. If we err in our choices, future pathways will be revealed.
    It does NOT diminish the individual's choices.
    Rather, represents enlightenment and sometimes, it's a matter of Timing).

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.
