What a reading with Becca is like
Archetypal cosmology, in the Tarnas / CIIS tradition, locates personal experience within collective planetary cycles — outer-planet aspects in mundane cycles, generational signatures, and the felt resonance of an era. Becca's sessions typically connect personal transits to the cultural moment in a way most birth-chart work doesn't.
