What can I expect at my reading?

Your reading is meant to provide meaningful and practical spiritual insight. During your reading, we will likely discuss your innate gifts, challenges, and the coming year. This process is typicaly described as a healing, uplifting experience and it is meant to be revealing and empowering.

Your reading will likely begin with an overview of your natal chart and include intuitive interpretation woven with esoteric astrological information. Depending on your selection of an astrological reading or a path-of-life reading, additional interpretive modalities may also be included, such as numerology, the Kabbalah and other time-honored esoteric traditions. This process is more organic than formulated, and I am open to responding to your quesitons and comments during your session.

When can I have a follow-up reading?

People often request update readings around their birthdays to get a framework for the coming year. Typically, these follow-up readings focus more on the current year and relationships.

Do you offer any other types of readings?

Yes, I also offer astrological readings for animal companions and pets, as well as relationship readings which includes you and your animal companion.

What is your office like?

My office is upstairs in a comfortable, historic building. Readings take place in a living-room like environment. I ask that you refrain from wearing perfumes or heavy scents as this may interfere with your reading. We will likely be accompanied by Dolphin, my hypo-allergenic, trained therapy dog.

How long is a reading?

Astrological readings and path-of-life readings are 90 minutes.

How much does a reading cost?

An Astrological or Path-of-Life reading fee is (US) $250. I also offer a few specialty astrological readings which can be seen here.

Is my reading confidential?

Yes.

What information do you need to prepare to do a reading for me (or someone else)?

At the time you schedule your reading, please provide birth date, birth time, birth place and full given name as indicated on your birth certificate.

I can't find my birth time. What do I do?

You can check your birth certificate, or if that is not available, you can contact your birth state vital records for a new birth certificate. If birth time is still unavailable, we can prepare a solar chart for you for your reading.

I can't come to your office, may I schedule a reading to take place over the phone?

Yes, please indicate this at the time we schedule your reading. Please also assist with time zone coordination as needed— a good resource for this is timeanddate.com. My office is located in Eastern Time Zone, USA. At your appointed time, please call me at 401-423-0075 and I will pick up.

Do you have a cancellation policy?

Please reschedule your appointment as early as possible so that someone else may take that time. I appreciate your flexibility should I need to reschedule as well.

Do you accept credit cards?

Right now I only accept cash, checks and money orders for readings. Call-in clients or gift reading purchases: please mail in payment prior to reading session at the address below:
Virginia Chapin-Sheff
16 Narragansett Avenue
Jamestown, RI 02835 USA

How do I get to your office?

Directions and map are here. If you are coming from Boston, I suggest you use Route 95 South through Providence instead of the Mapquest directions, which sometimes suggest a high-traffic route.

May I gift a reading to someone else?

Yes, please indicate to the recipient of your gift the need to call me to schedule their appointment and share relevant birth data. You may also refer the recipient to this page for general information. A reading is a very special gift for a child, friend or partner, especially if that person is in a transitional phase in his/her life.

Do you still give event date and name selection readings?

I now offer these services on a donation basis. Donations will be given to an animal rescue organization at the end of the year. Please see astrological readings for more details.

What else do I need to know?

Relax and enjoy the process. You may also wish to bring a small tape recorder to your reading.
