"It is Lawson Bracewell's ability to combine a knowledge of astrological symbolism and his compassionate loving acceptance that makes him an astrologer I would refer clients to"- Alan Oken, author of the trilogy "Alan Oken's Soul Centred Astrology"

Lawson Bracewell uses the language of astrology to promote growth.

"I paint a picture of your personality and soul; a true likeness of you at birth and the you that you know now. I believe that a healing of the self occurs as you acknowledge and accept who you really are. And the information I provide on current life cycles can help you resolve inherent conflicts in your personality and help you empower yourself."

There are a number of readings that you might choose to have me do:1. A reading of the natal chart. This includes a reading of current transits.2. An update reading - if you have had a reading with me before. This includes current transits, progressions and a solar return chart.3. A relationship reading. This includes summaries of the natal charts and a reading of comparison and composite charts.4. Relocation readings. These are readings of the effect of living in particular places. Useful in deciding on moves or understanding them.

All readings come with relevant charts and a 60-90 minute audio reading.
