Welcome to Studio Charkilo. My workspace is named after CHARIKLO from Greek mythology, and an asteroid (a bit like a planet but much smaller) in her namesake.

I am an Intuitive Astrologer, Compassionate Facilitator, Minister, Mother, Death Advocate, and Creative. In astrology, Chariklo symbolises: the caretaker, the witness to life’s transformations, and unconditional love. I endeavour to bring elements of Chariklo through all the places, spaces, and folks I interact with.

My studio is also a space where I illustrate, write, study, un-school my children, and welcome folks for tea and chats; it’s a home away from home.

  • I loved the birth chart reading experience with Sarah. You can't help but feel Sarah's passion for what she does and it is contagious. The reading was detailed and I would recommend everyone try it. For me, it was very insightful, as there was an aspect of my personality I was rejecting and having Sarah talk about it helped me begin to accept it. She was very attentive and took the time to listen to me as well. She blends so many modalities to bring one a very beautiful experience.

  • Sarah is warm, friendly and interesting! The reading I had with her was incredibly insightful and amazingly specific ~ everything she pointed out I deeply and clearly resonated with. It was really helpful and an amazing experience. I love that Sarah gave me a copy of my chart, I have looked back, used it and referenced Sarah's session more than I ever thought I would. You will be so safe in Sarah's capable and nurturing hands

  • Having an astrology session with Sarah felt like a sacred ceremony. The heartfelt way she held space and offered insight into the archetypal pattern in which my unique planetary blueprint takes shape, provided a much needed homecoming to myself. While I've felt connected to my chart previous to our session, she was able to point out ways in which various aspects of my chart interact that I'd never realised before. I'm so grateful for Sarah and I know the insights gained in our time will continue to blossom.

  • Sarah creates a space and a container to ask profound questions and explore the myriad ways to cultivate the best version of ourselves. Her natal chart reading was so grounding and helpful. It was an invitation to ask really hard and messy questions that have opened me to the possibilities and strengths within! I only wish I could have worked with her for hours more!

  • Sarah read my daughter's chart for us and it was an incredible experience. We were both fascinated by the depth of information Sarah shared, all of which we related to so much. It was very comforting as a mother to hear some of her traits and behaviours explained and celebrated by Sarah and my daughter found comfort in this too. Since our reading, I use the information from our session to better understand my daughter and I reflect back on this regularly. I would highly recommend anyone to have their chart read by Sarah, it was a beautiful and empowering experience.

  • I deeply enjoyed my 'Chariklo' reading with Sarah. She has a keen and interesting view of the celestial bodies that brought some deep and profound insights into my awareness. She is incredibly professional, knowledgable, kind and easy to work with. I also appreciate that she speaks in a way that is easily understood for everyone, especially those new to astrology.

  • Sarah is pure magic. Having a reading with her felt like chatting with a wise, supportive friend who somehow knows everything about you. I left feeling lighter, inspired and honestly just grateful. If you are even a little bit curious about astrology, you have to book with her.

  • My reading with Sarah was validating, fun and surprising. Sarah has a deep understanding of astrology and the ability to draw real life, tangible examples and suggestions. It was an easy exchange of information directly related to my life. I left feeling validated but more importantly, with new and exciting ideas, and a road map for the year ahead. I highly recommend for specific "dig deeps" or general overviews. She is knowledgeable and caring, I was absolutely comfortable both laughing and crying!

  • My natal chart reading with Sarah was an awesome experience! I came into it knowing a little bit about astrology and walked away having learned a ton. I loved diving into the different aspects of my chart. Two things that really stood out to me were; her knowledge and the way she facilitated the session. Her approach felt intentional, professional, intuitive and collaborative. She explained everything simply and clearly, making it easy to digest and connect the dots in the moment. Feeling super greatful and totally recommend setting up a reading with Sarah!

What is astrology?

Astrology is an ancient healing art that observes the relationship, cycles, and positions of celestial sky bodies and their influence on human behavioural patterns on Earth,

Astrology is a deep relationship with the natural world,

It is a call and response,

It is a primal language of symbols and archetypes that can help us function in our highest expression: in our outer life, our inner life, and through our purpose,

It is an observational craft that we all once integrated into our lives,

Astrology is a tool that can bring acceptance and affirmation to seekers,

Like a building block, it can provide meaning to each marvelous step we consciously take through our evolution,

It can encourage conscious decisions that lead to love, change, activism and magic,

It is a myriad of expressive potentials,

It helps us make choices and create balance,

It integrates spirit at play,

Astrology is practical spirituality.
