Caleb is so thoughtful, intelligent, and personable, and such a deep listener. He clearly digested my intake thoroughly and guided the discussion accordingly. Throughout the reading, it was abundantly evident to me that Caleb's clearly put a lot of thought into astrology education—his analogies are concrete and memorable, and he's good at rendering the more esoteric aspects of astrology accessible. Compared to some, this reading didn't feel super "predictive," but I actually valued that, as the experience felt in no way manipulative, nor guided by any motives other than truth and Caleb's knowledge. Rather, his insights and observations came from a place of deep knowledge and felt objective, and empowered me as the client to derive meaning and guidance, and to use astrological insights to my advantage as I chart my own course.

I was first drawn to Caleb because of the imagery and general vibe he has on social media. I’d also been seeking an astrologer who was well versed in Hellenistic astrology, and by some great stroke of luck, or Karma, he also is on a spiritual path which largely overlaps with my own. It makes it a lot easier to relate to the readings he gives. His readings have been accurate, he’s not afraid to be a little adventurous, and he’s always eager to help. He’s entertained a lot of my questions and he always answers in a very easy to understand way. You can tell that he loves doing this work, it shows in the readings. The videos he makes, the forecasts for upcoming transits have been incredibly helpful and they’re something I find myself really looking forward to. I strongly recommend him for readings, regardless of if you enjoy the Metal aesthetic or not.

Caleb is a very well-studied and knowledgeable astrologer. His insight and explanation of the fixed stars in my chart gave me so much to consider. He took the time to break down the mythologies of the fixed stars, and I appreciated this in-depth exploration. He also made sure to ask questions along the way, offering clarification and reassurance. I would very much recommend Caleb as a reliable and enriching reader for your personal queries!

Caleb is very good at putting things into perspective and tying in the subtle nuances of your chart and how they may be expressed within you. His expression is poetic and rooted in so much knowledge. I was happy with how the natal chart reading affirmed some things I had wondered about my path and my interests. Anyone looking for an astrologer, look no further than Heavy Metal Astrology.

Caleb is a phenomenal individual to tap into regarding all things astrology! I scheduled a natal chart reading with him, and he was exceptionally thorough. He was prepared, very knowledgeable, and I learned a lot! I strongly recommend him!

I was so thrilled to sit with Caleb to discuss Mars, a much-maligned planet who is so important for me natally. I was very impressed by his dedication, his tact around difficult topics, his top-notch listening skills and astrological acumen; the same meticulous and generous overall quality I so appreciate in his Heavy Metal Astrology posts. I felt very much at ease talking with Caleb, and this conversation really connected some interesting dots for me. Being an astrologer myself, I've been pondering my nativity and Mars specifically for a while, yet make no mistakes, this opened new avenues of considering this Sphere just like I expected. I would heartily recommend this consultation to anyone looking to get to know Mars and their natal relationship to Mars better, for they would be so well accompanied to do so with Caleb. So excited to see what he will be up to next!

I'm very grateful for the reading Caleb offered focused on Mars. My natal Mars is a particularly challenging placement, and Caleb was able to illuminate and unwind its influence throughout my chart and life. Caleb's reading style is comfortable and conversational; he invited and welcomed my responses and adjusted his delivery accordingly -- some readings can feel like a lecture (non-pejorative!), but this one truly felt like a collaboration where we explored meanings together. He offered specific actionable advice through targeted questions that drew my attention to particular areas while leaving me space to grapple with the answers. The term "productive struggle", courtesy of my education background, springs to mind. I learned more about myself through struggling, wrestling with these questions that Caleb provided.

The warrior/weapon/wound structure is a compelling unification of Mars' significations in the chart which also translates easily to actionable real world advice. The insight provided opens up plenty of routes to engage with Mars, encourage or remediate Him, or otherwise direct these cosmic energies.

My natal moon and Mars are in mutual (fallen) reception, and most of my focus until now has been on the Moon. Caleb's reading opened up not only specific actions, but entire ways of perceiving my natal Mars. I can see Mars' influence throughout my entire chart, including placements/angles I had never considered in this context before. This is a pervasive shift in perspective that I will be some time in fully integrating, because he really turned my way of thinking about my chart on its head. This is a hugely valuable gift, and Caleb offered it generously and without reservation. I look forward to returning to him for other readings in the future.

I'm an amateur astrologer and I've spent hours analyzing my chart, had professional readings, AND YET Caleb in true Martial fashion managed to knock me over every few minutes in my appointment with him. (To be kind to myself at least—my Mars is in a dark house!) It felt like he came along, found all the edges pieces of my natal puzzle and created a marvelous frame for me to fit parts of my chart into a larger context that I'd never understood before, which led to frankly gnostic experiences around the topics impacted during and after the appointment.

The joy and blessing of knowing my Mars as I do know, recognizing the gifts it holds out in both hands so generously, seeing it with its layers kind-heartedly revealed through Caleb's careful exploration, is something I'll cherish for the rest of my life. I'm so glad he decided to develop this reading offering, and highly encourage even people who feel they know their Mars well to give this cutting-edge praxis a try!
