I was referred by a trusted friend and whether I wanna…read morebounce ideas off of Nicki or if I'm feeling stuck in any area of my life (work, romance, inner growth, whatever!) Nicki is my go to sounding board and guide. She never imposes upon me her own views but really creates the sacred space for me to hear what I cannot hear and see what I cannot see by myself in the moment. Every time I leave our sessions, I feel more empowered, more grounded, and more excited about me and my life. Even when I'm feeling super frustrated and stuck, there's something about our work together that seems to break down the barriers faster than I'm creating them. So! Thank you Nicki for making space for me in your schedule whenever I need to drop in.

I went to Nicki in 2019 when I was really in tremendous emotional pain. My life was wreck. I…read morereally needed some spiritual guidance, something to hold on to because, honestly I was on the edge. She knew things about my family and I that there was absolutely no way of knowing. That in itself was a surprise. She has a calming demeanor and a way about her that is difficult to explain. Just talking to her and listening to some of the things she had to say was helpful and help me organize my mind from the frenzy. I was skeptical at first, but like another poster mentioned. She is the real deal. I just recently gifted my daughter a session, she is going through it right now and her experience was also very positive and left more hopeful. She has some kind energy about her that rubs off on you and stays with you for a while.

Fiona is a very warm, patient and intuitive person. As she took me through my chart, it was amazing the number of things that truly resonated with me and told the story of my life path....an admittedly encouraging thing as this was my first reading ever. My reading not only helped to bring new things to light, but also brought about a better awareness and understanding of other things that I had recognized and acknowledged in my life. It was a really great experience. Fiona is easy to talk to, encourages questions and dialogue during the reading, and really makes you feel at ease during your session. I feel her skills as a psychotherapist are an added bonus that help bring a heightened level of intuition as she guides and directs you through your reading. I've already recommended her to a friend, and would definitely suggest her to others!

I cannot believe I haven't reviewed Rebecca yet! When I say this woman opened my eyes and changed…read morethe way I thought about myself, I'm not exaggerating. When I had my reading with Rebecca I was in a tough place mentally. I had reached the point where I was feeling stagnant, purposeless, and checked out -- not exactly easy topics to talk about with someone you've just met. But Rebecca made it incredibly easy. She is warm, kind, empathetic, and trustworthy. She went through my birth chart and pointed out all the skills/talents I was born with, as well as highlighted how I'd been going through an astrologically challenging time. I left my session feeling completely validated and excited about my future. This woman KNOWS her stuff and knows how to deliver it in a way that's empowering and understandable. I loved her reading so much I gifted one to a close friend who I know will benefit from seeing her. If you're on the fence about whether you should see an astrologer or who you should see, look no further.

What I purchased: Natal Chart Reading…read more Scheduling: I felt that this could be better. The website promised a reply within 24 hours, and I did not get one, BUT I did reach out (via website), and he was prompt to respond. Turns out, he was traveling, and that is understandable. Once I got a hold of Chase, he was very flexible, and we were able to pin-point a time slot that we were both comfortable with. The format was a zoom-meeting, and by the end of the meeting, I got my natal chart, and a recording of the session via download through email. The Reading: As the other reviews have mentioned, Chase was a super down-to-earth individual that was ale to discuss the nuances of my birth chart in layman's terms. He is clearly and expertise in his craft, and as I participant, I felt comfortable voicing how I felt the interpretation of my chart related/ did not relate to me. Honestly, 95% of everything he said felt true to who I was. This was very surprising and I recommend this reading to anyone trying to get a better understanding of who they are at their core. Personally, it felt good to have someone explain the strange dichotomies of my personality, and tell me that they did in fact ...exist. Talking to Chase was like talking to a longtime, wise friend :D We chatted, we laughed, and it was good. To those who are considering this reading: as long as you approach the reading with an open mind, I think you will be very surprised. Five stars! Would I come back? Absolutely :) That is... if I can get my SO to be open to a reading. He's very... Capricorn :X To Chase: I understand that you have future plans for the website, but...

The Sword and Rose in Cole Valley is a quintessential San Francisco Occult Shop founded by beloved…read moreRandy in 1986, and continues to be a shoppe and community space (rather than a commercial store) run by dedicated witches, clairvoyants, priestesses and practitioners. From beginning to end of my experience, I knew I would be returning. There's a moment of "where is it, did I miss it," but as you approach the stuccoed arch, you see the weathered wooden sign and know you've found it. Past the shared hallway, when you enter that grey gardens-edward gorey-esque courtyard, you come upon a cottage you don't expect to be there. Once inside the threshold, you know you've entered a place where witches and real cobwebs are. I don't want to spoil too much, this is truly a place for the senses and open-hearted to experience. I'll say I met Krystl, who's been there for 22 years, and received a sliding scale Motherpeace Tarot reading with recommended housemade incense and left with a few Magick and Tarot zines from Teena and Sean. We also talked about some interesting topics, I didn't want to leave, and i'm an introvert! I brought the incense home, i've never smelled such incredible high-quality and intentional incense from any current SF shop. And with my teacher/artist in SF budget, I still was able to leave with many treasures (though I wish I could've grabbed one of their excellent condition vintage tarot decks). Cash for tarot readings, card is fine for shop purchases. Turn your phone off, get present, support these places before private equity gets em.

I had such a great time yesterday. I like living in San Francisco not just for the micro climate…read morebut also because a few blocks down the street is like me going into a different village/township from the boring suburbia. Hayes/Hayes Valley just has just my favorite gypsy vibe. And Sword & Roses is just a historical representation of this 60s/70s SF lifestyle. I had a much needed concern coupled with recent tragic fire in HK (where my parents are. They don't live in the incident apt complex but still dark mood all over b/c of the bad news) that need addressing and spending a few hours at the shoppe just rejuvenated me. Yes, this is not a shoppe where you browse quick and rush out, I would avoid that if that is your plan cos you could meddle up the peace and flow of things there, j/k. Everywhere you turn, you will find gems literally in the shoppe. I couldn't take pics of the shine to show you out of respect but the place is always warm because shoppe owner heats up the chimney with more wood. This is a tiny little space but you could spend hours or up browsing through every inch and many actually do, taking their time when time in SF is worth a lot. I love the garden, the customers and the ladies who upkeep the shoppe. You will not come in and find this place boring! There is always conversations about meaning of life, spirituality, animal guides, tarot cards, astrology and palm readings. Someone will be searching through books to find their childhood treasure again or getting recycled leather bound journals for their out of town friends as a keepsake. Possibilities are endless, as endless as your openness to alternative healing and spiritual solutions. I brought some incense too (not in the pic) but it has the most gorgeous and tranquil blue that even not burning them (putting out in display immensely) enhance my spirit, my mood and my well being. I got instructions about what to do with the ashes too. Many came from out of town or just across the bay! I recommend stopping by to say "hi" to the friendly ladies or the shoppe owner, they are always up for a good chat and just so open and welcoming, I bet they get asked all sort of life questions so you won't shock them with your challenge. Bottom line, this is a cute, lovely, back shoppe filled with loads of SF histories, good times bad times, and foot prints of some unique souls, some beautiful, some odd and some stranger than old wives' tales. P.S. I will update my reading as time passes with realization of actual events. But maybe I will not, let the bygones be the bygones! Will see.

I had a really wonderful session with Adrian. I came to him during a pretty stressful period in my…read morelife and had a LONG list of questions, and he was incredibly kind, patient, professional, and easygoing throughout the entire conversation. What I appreciated most was how relaxed and natural the session felt. It never felt stiff, rushed, or overly formal. I felt completely comfortable asking follow-up questions, challenging things I didn't understand, and going deeper when I wanted more clarity. Adrian really listens, and he takes the time to explain what he's seeing rather than just giving you a prediction and moving on. I also really appreciated his approach to astrology. He explained things in terms of timing, patterns, and probabilities rather than being overly fatalistic, which made the reading feel much more useful and practical to me. He also has a very modern way of interpreting BaZi and Zi Wei Dou Shu and takes your actual life circumstances into account rather than forcing everything into an old-school textbook interpretation. He was thoughtful, funny, down-to-earth, and very generous with his time and knowledge. At the end of our session, he even told me that if I had a one-off question later, I could simply email him rather than feeling like I needed to book another full session. I really respected that. I left the session feeling much calmer, clearer, and more confident about what I wanted to do next. I would absolutely work with Adrian again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, thorough, and genuinely kind practitioner.
