Greetings, my name is Richard Hammond, I am a second-generation astrologer helping individuals and couples navigate their unique paths. I grew up in Paris, France, where my mother operated a successful Astrology practice, and I gained the most valuable insights from her decades of work as a spiritual guide, aromatherapist, and healer. I have been learning and practicing astrology since childhood (over 30 years)
I have an 18 year background in computer sciences as a network engineer, and my appreciation for astrology has grown parallel to that of mathematics and logical problem solving. I provide all my clients with the calculations of their entire natal chart, so that they're empowered to learn astrology themselves, if they desire. I enjoy teaching clients about astrology, and believe that in time, you may love astrology and use it as a tool for your own life, relationships, and wellbeing.
My approach to counseling is rooted in empowering you to recognize your true potential, strengths, and choices, so that you can work with your natural gifts, and navigate out of any destructive or negative patterns that you're struggling with. My focus is providing quality counsel and insight to those seeking access to the truth about themselves and their unique placement our universe. My readings are lengthy and I take time to prepare. I consider myself an astrologer's astrologer as well, for those who are seeking advanced interpretations and insights. My intake process allows me to craft a reading for every stage of learning.
In addition to astrological counseling, I offer tarot readings which serve as a powerful tool by connecting the inner and outer worlds, facilitating personal transformation, and encouraging a balanced approach to life.
For clients seeking to harmonize the body's subtle energy centers, I offer in person chakra balancing sessions using the healing properties of various spiritual tools such as crystals, sound bowls, and tuning forks, incorporating guided meditation to enhance relaxation, clarity, deep connection to self and the surrounding energy.
I am available online as well as in person at my Oceanside location. All in person appointments are recorded, and will be emailed to you at the conclusion of our session for your reference.
All sessions include a PDF folder containing your Natal Chart and report of my insights.
