Beth Wilkinson - Tropical and Draconic Natal Chart Readings
Lucy Wilkinson - Astrocartography & Locational Astrology Readings
​Beth Wilkinson works extensively with the draconic and tropical zodiac - a profound technique that reveals your ancient narrative and pre-birth intentions. In other words, who you were before you became affected by the world. She fuses this with her fascination with heliocentric system to unveil one's cosmic orientation from the Sun's vantage point, bringing a unique dimension to personal evolution and purpose. It can help reveal who you can be if you give yourself the opportunity to heal.

I remember the moment I discovered I was a gemini: I was a child and the concept fascinated me. Only as a teenager I learnt that there were so many complex layers to the signs. Learning was a way for me to escape the reality I was being told to live in. As a child it was difficult for me to be placed into educational institutions with very little sense of self. I found myself slipping into the crevices of the very foundation that was rejecting me for who I was. By the age of 14, I was in therapy for anxiety and depression. My therapist made a mind-map of all my problems. It felt so intrusive the way they did it, because everything was instilled with aggression and judgment. I began to make little mind-maps in my mind, of everything that was wrong with me. The world felt empty and cold, like there was nothing to look forward to. When I was 15, my dad bought me a telescope for Christmas. I didn't use it very often but I kept it next to my window as a symbol of wonder, that no matter where you are in the world or what kind of confrontation with society you are experiencing that day, we will always be floating in space, and the celestial bodies hold secrets about the way we think and feel. The mind is a mystery and that should be a comfort. Instead of thinking what is wrong with me, I thought... who am I? Looking up either into the blue or the night sky was a way for me to look into my soul. If the stars and planets rotate within consciousness, then so must my thoughts and feelings.
I primarily focus on the journey from the tropical chart (who we are in the world), into the draconic chart (who we are without affect). Draconic astrology is taken from the perspective of the point where the moon's north node intersects with the sun's ecliptic line. The moon's rite of passage across the sun's eclipse viewed from earth is a gentle reminder that we are on a journey for a reason, and beckons us to explore our emotional shadows that we tend to neglect during the quest for survival and growth. When I first studied my own draconic chart, I felt ashamed and intimidated by my signs, and it took me a long time to accept my darkness until I could find the beautiful authenticity within. When compared alongside my tropical it also began to make a lot of sense. I was being called to a less superficial and a more intense version of myself. It was translating as depression, but now I have learnt to use my moods as an emotional compass to navigate if I am living my truth or not. Perhaps my depression was teaching me that it was simply time to learn more about myself...

Lucy Wilkinson's astrology practice uses astrocartography and locational astrology to help navigate moments of confusion and uncertainty with clarity and purpose. She can help you explore your deeper motivations and karmic patterns while grounding them into practical solutions and guidance. Using astrocartography, it is possible to illuminate how plantary energies shape one's experiences in different places around the world - offering a compass for relocation, travel, or understanding why certain locations feel like "home" or some others feel uncomfortable. There is so much to explore and discover.

I became interested in astrology in my early twenties after graduating university. I felt a general depression and loss of direction after graduating from my bachelors degree - learning about astrology helped me understand myself and my purpose. It gave me a sense of direction and helped me find meaning in a very chaotic world. In 2023, I became absolutely fascinated by astrocartography and locational astrology. I had reached a point post-phd and also post-break-up of a twelve year relationship, where again, I felt that confusion of "where do I go next? What do I do?" and astrocartography has really helped me understand how I can work with my energies and unlock new possibilities. I am a highly sensitive person - particularly with environments - I can feel a lot of physical and emotional sensations in locations which makes it difficult to be in the world outside of my house sometimes! But, astrocartography has helped me navigate this and over the past couple of years, has helped me navigate and prepare myself for the energies that may be faced. For me, I have used astrocartography to understand why I have felt the way I have done in particular places I have lived or visited - and furthermore, I am using it to help find supportive energies in a very overwhelming and chaotic world.

In the reading, I will be talk you through your general astrocartography where I map your plantary positions and energies in the world according to your birth natal chart. I can tell you what you might expect to experience on those energy lines. I will also provide a reading of what you may be experiencing where you are currently living. I may give you a little exploration to do on your own, researching the places I have suggested, hopefully opening up your own intuition. I can use locational astrology to look at the positions and aspects of a selection of specific locations you feel intrigued by. I will delve deep into any house or sign shifts that could occur, whilst also look at aspects to find supportive or challenging energies.
