astrology sessions with kay, darling
kay offers one-off sessions and consistent revolutionary astrology sessions as either personalized study (and/)or a non-clinical therapeutic alternative, flexible and tailored to your interests and needs. revolutionary astrology is a way of interpreting the planets for de-conditioining, re-indiginization, meaning making, and non-hierarchical connection.
Your natal chart is your cosmic fingerprint. Itās a picture of the major players of the solar system at the moment you were brought into it, and analyzing them describes the vibes that welcomed you, which forever ground your relationship to this life on earth.
reading additional charts (transit, progression, solar return, or relationship readings using composite or synastry charts) is only suggested for followup sessions or folks who are familiar with their natal chart.
Every session is tailored your specific interests and astrological familiarity and (when paying $100+) includes a written after-session debrief of key conclusions, answers to follow-up questions, and suggestions for further astrological study.

Practical Peer Support sessions with Erica Joy
as yāall know, iām a Black fat queer bb with a taurus sun + aries rising; this means ideas and practical solutions are my forteābut they might take a sec bc my taurus mercury. i also got a cancer venus and libra mars, which help me to approach peer support with care + balance.
i do this work without a license intentionally, as i have found continuing formal institutional education would only: hinder my emotional instincts, prep me to be an agent of the state, put me in a position of power instead of partnership, value reform over dismantling harmful structures/ institutions, and more :(
if youāre tryna spend some intentional time working with the following, please reach out!
- unlearning/untangling the messages + impacts of yt supremacist capitalism
- unlearning fatphobia + integrating Fat Lib
- exploring gender + sexuality
- discerning relationships and your relationship to relationships (broad definition!)
- moving
- searching for authentic community
- navigating covid-cautiousness
- creating a routine that better accommodates the needs of your body, mind, and spirit
and for those of you who have gotten readings with kay, we can do debriefsātalking about what your sesh with kay brought up and how you want to use what youāve learned moving forward. astro sessions can sometimes be overwhelming, letās break it down and get groundedābook a sesh with me below

Now, letās talk charts:
natal chart (always included)
Your natal chart is your cosmic fingerprint. Itās a picture of the major players of the galaxy, the standing of the world the moment you were brought into it. Itās the vibes you were born into, and those vibes stay with you for life, forever grounding your relationship to this incarnation. Using this map of and to you, we use this foundational chart to dive into how you relate to yourself, others, and the world at large.
All sessions include the natal chart. itās a necessity!
transit chart
A transit chart is the current planetary landscape, or we can look at the sky for any significant moment in your lifeāpast and future. superimposed on your natal chart, we can check out how these planets are hitting your forever imprint.
synastry chart
Astrology is as relational as it is individual. Taking a look at two charts superimposed on the zodiac wheel, as well as a chart of the mid-points of each personās chart, we can get a deep understanding of how two people interact, connect, and relate. Whether to gain insight into how we are making another feel, or to provide guidance in times of conflict, synastry is a tool for understanding relationship.
progression chart
If you feel that you donāt really identify with your natal chart, consulting a progression chart might be key. your natal chart is only the beginning of your journey; the planets are not fixed there, just as we are not fixed beings, remaining the exact same as we grow. rather they progress, or spiral, through the wheel as you age. a progression chart represents this slow and steady development. sometimes, major shifts occur, like shifts in your sun or ascendant sign, but your moon sign shifts every 2.5 years, indicating a different somatic experience and/or emotionalĀ life. thereās so much to unpack when it comes to the progression chart, and itās a useful tool for mapping ahead our lifelong growth.

Sesh Testimonials
My session with kay was exactly what I needed. They answered all my questions and had so much knowledge to share - it truly felt so comfortable to be in space with them, like I was talking with a friend.
I learned a lot about myself. I think there are a lot of reasons that systems of power existing now want us to feel like we're crazy, and kay helped me truly make better sense of myself, and reframe certain things that feel integral to myself, but that I carried doubt and shame around. I can honor them more. I am so thankful. I appreciate the communication and care from Erica Joy and kay, darling. ā S.K.
thank you so so much for all of this! I really appreciated our reading and took a lot from our discussion. i felt really empowered and motivated to learn to sit with my grief and really be vulnerable with myself. iām looking forward to asking for what i want and being more active in my life and relationships. i really enjoyed our conversation and felt it was very eye-opening. i appreciate you taking the time to walk me through everything. iāve told friends about your practice and hope they sign up soon!! ā F.N.
Iām still so honored to have had that conversation with you on my solar return! You are a beautifully intuitive person and simply chatting with you felt really affirming of the type of community I want to create. ā O.H.
kay! thank u so much for your care w me, ur reflections have given me a starting point for rethinking myself and hopefully working through some of the pain iāve been holding onto privately/quietly. i am changed!! <3 thank u again ā D.W.
[k]ay, thank you so much for your chart reading. It was so spot on with what Iāve been feeling I was speechless. Read it again this morning and feeling grateful to have a wise, prophetic, and intuitive friend! ā K.S.
It was really enlightening to chat with kay. I've had astrology readings before and I appreciated this different perspective. It expanded my understanding of myself. I learned to see myself differently, especially with the debility justice lens in my chart since a number of my placements are in fall/detriment. I also felt like I was on the right path with the work I have been doing. I felt more empowered that I have what's needed to continue my liberation work.
I loved the insights into my outer planets, the hopeful perspective offered, and genuinely lovely conversation. I also really appreciated the recap that was emailed to me afterwards, and wonderful suggested reading material. Weeks later I am still finding everything about this reading useful to reflect on. āL.R.
My "What's my Role in the Revolution" session, which included a solar return reading, was illuminating, fun, and got me excited about the year ahead. I loved Kay's/CH's radical approaches to astrology. I've struggled with certain individualistic and materialistic aspects of astrology, and talking through those with Kay/CH helped me better understand my own chart's radical propensities. āhts
It is truly evident that kay's practice embodies community focused healing justice practice. Their approach was gentle and fervent, filled with the balance of an inquisitive Sagittarius rising, equally curious about my origin story & inner workings, as about making astrological connections to support and give context to my experience. It was lovely having a reader who shared so many similar identities that i didn't have to spend a lot of time explaining my experiences. kay led with consent, emphasized my agency in the experience, and really made me understand and love myself more. I was so here for the neuroexpansive excitement, numerous tangents, and reciprocal energy exchange. I would definitely recommend kay's services, whether you're brand new to astrology or been reading charts for years, kay will offer a safe, enriching, and nourishing session. ā ande @FlowWithTheDay
It was such a lovely experience working with you and your energy both in the astro reading! I am so excited to see you grow and expand and help so many people align more with themselves and their destinies ā V.J.
Wow! The force and magic that kay holds is powerful. To feel seen and heard by a spiritual practitioner is rare and treasured. I was so honored to be in virtual space with kay for a reading, watching what was shared unfold has been magical. kay also made the reading accessible and not gatekeepy which I feel is super important in the spiritual community, we all deserve it as Black folks return to our ancestral ways. Thank you kay! Your work is so important to the Black queer and expansive community! ā yungclairvoyant
