What to expect
My style combines a mix of humanistic modern astrology, transpersonal counseling, intuition, 27 years of astro herstory, and over half a century of life experience – looking at themes, resources, challenges, and destiny in your birth chart and via transits (of planets indicating times of growth, challenge, or opportunity). We assess what archetypal themes are at play by looking at the unfolding cyclic narrative so far, now, and into the future. Bring your shadow, golden shadow, questions, fears, hopes, and wishes. You’ll leave feeling more positive, inspired, and motivated, with a sense of clarity, validation, and self-acceptance/celebration.

Kind Words from Clients
Most of these sessions were one-to-one IRL or online (still available). Some were 30 min blind recordings which I did for several years.
“Vanessa, this was the best Astrology session that I have ever had! It was spot on! You were able to describe me as well as I know myself. Your easy-going personality and enthusiasm were a breath of fresh air in helping me understand my Astrology chart as well. Using your extensive knowledge of Astrology coupled with your counseling background, you were able to provide practical help for me with my daily life. I highly recommend a session to anyone interested in self-understanding and self-improvement and I look forward to our next meeting.” ~ Stephanie Williams — former Global Production Manager Aesop, Quality Manager Alcon, Process Engineer Csr Hebel, Scientist Alcon. Jan 3, 2023.
“Vanessa, I really enjoyed today, that was unreal!!! I could easily go over all this again… such confirmation and right between the eyes in soo much with me and my kids. Absolutely amazing, and with how you formulate your words into such descriptions and examples just made it so perfect that I could not find questions because you covered so much in detail. Really loved it. Thank you so much!!!!! Sara Løining – Unshackle Beauty – remedial/facial aesthetic therapist. August 2022
“I recently had a chart reading with Vanessa via Zoom. Vanessa has a beautiful bubbly personality, and I felt comfortable and at ease chatting with her. Not only was she spot on with my chart reading, but she also explained in detail why I was going through the changes that I was experiencing. She really does know her craft. I highly recommend you book Vanessa for a reading.” Violetta. Aug 11, 2022
“The session with Vanessa was exceptional. I had never had a reading before and admit to being skeptical in the past. However, my birth reading was true in every way – from what energises and challenges me, to what I need for self care and in relationships. It’s difficult to describe in words the incredible impact that this had on me – it resonated with me and made sense of so many aspects and contradictions in my life that had previously stumped me. It also validated the current direction I am taking in my life, so that I can wholeheartedly pursue my dreams and passions and understand where they come from. Thank you, Vanessa! Thank you once again – it was amazing!!!–Belinda Pratten. Jan 2022
“I will pass on your readings! You were great! Mel Gray. June 2022
“Vanessa was professional, helpful, thorough and explained my astrology in a practical way. I really felt she knew her stuff. I look forward to having another session with her in future. — Sarah Yip — Numerologist, Psychic development. May 2022
“Absolutely loved my first astrology session with Vanessa. Her insights on transits and natal placements were incredibly comprehensive and helpful for building my knowledge and understanding. I wanted to gain some insights on how I could use my current transits to best grow and move forward and Vanessa gave me plenty of guidance and info which I can now use to create the structure I craved. I left feeling so much clearer and more resourceful – and hopeful that I can create the kind of future I want to be in. Will definitely schedule another session with Vanessa! It was an absolute treat for me. Thank you for holding space for all the feels – and planets and houses and questions! Amazing getting to finally chat with your professional self and get a stronger understanding of it all. I feel like I’ve been learning a secret language on my own and haven’t been able to verify or discuss it with someone who speaks it fluently until now! You really opened up my world and helped me see things from a wiser, grander perspective. Seeing much more possibility and opportunity and room for positive structure than before. –BONNIE SVEEN — Actor Creator Producer. Aug 2021

“I had my second astro reading with Vanessa and I can’t recommend her enough!!! She not only knows her stuff but Vanessa’s just packed with positive vibrations and fills my cup up with positive energy every time! I feel so much more encouraged to go after my goals and make my dreams come true. Makayla Davis — The Scenic Route Astrology/TheXenGoddesses.com. July 2021
“Thank you so much for the audio file and your words, and for the amazing reading and all the time and energy you put into it. It truly felt like a warm bath, and it was so reassuring and empowering. And I really felt seen, as for who I am, all the parts of me. You also provided some nice constructive tools to work with. It’s funny though, it was all so spot-on what you put together and I didn’t hear anything that surprised me (I actually felt proud of myself for (finally) having figured out myself more or less and learning to trust on my intuition more and more, which ‘automatically’ leads me to be more aligned with who I am) but STILL I found myself pretty emotional afterward. And still. It feels like there’s a lot going on on the inside. I guess it’s something else when you feel and know something to be true, and then someone else wholeheartedly confirms that. Whoa, I don’t think I haven’t even yet grasped all the energy of that – but I already feel that it will help me through the harder and darker parts of this new journey as well. So thank you. :) (By the way; congratulations on your new book. It looks amazing too!! I will probably order both your books anyway. :D But I saw how you also dedicated a part to ‘shadow work’. Love that.) I really do hope to be able to see you sometime in the future, for another reading. I love your energy and your take on things. :) — Hedwig Wiebes. March 2021
“I absolutely loved my reading with you a few weeks ago! It was my first pro natal chart reading and I wanted to get a better understanding of myself and also a look at what may be ahead for me astrologically. I feel so totally seen! Understanding that I was born with certain traits (e.g. perfectionism) really helps me to accept those traits rather than wondering if there’s something wrong with me. One of the biggest takeaways for me which was surprising is learning more about my north and south node. It has stuck in my head that my south node loves work and my north node is all about family. Whenever I feel work overstepping the boundaries I have set I remember that I need to step towards my north node. So practical! I just absolutely loved chatting with you! You are so approachable and you made me feel comfortable immediately. Thanks so much, — Elise Sorge. Jan 2021
“Thank you Vanessa. I dreamt about my reading all night. It was a great night’s sleep. I truly appreciated the time you spent with me and the true passion you have for astrology.–Lynne Pietrzyk. Dec 2020
“She (Vanessa) brought up that my Moon is in my 12th house which is (connected to) my mother line. She said it would be so interesting if I can have a direct connection with my grandma. And my mom talked about dreaming and seeing my grandma in her dreams all the time. — Mimi Chau Aug 2020.
“Wow, my session with Vanessa was magical and insightful!! I felt like I was having a fun cosmic chat with an old friend, to then realise after how much we really uncovered about my chart. It was magical because Vanessa is extremely intuitive, and relayed the exact messages I needed to hear right now. I felt seen, heard and loved. I felt empowered and inspired. It was insightful, because we uncovered many layers of my personality, my past and current reality. I have studied my own chart, and she was able to teach me, and shine light on so much I hadn’t noticed yet. Vanessa is generous, talented, unique and beautiful (inside and out). I REALLY enjoyed our session! And I recommend choosing a session longer than an hour because it’s such a fun chat, you’ll never want it to end!!! — Lexi Smith — Nov 2020

“I received my 30-minute birth chart analysis, and I just want to share that I am totally impressed !!! You hit me right on the nose!!! You hit it right on the nose with me being in the hardcore sciences or nerdy type. I have recently been approached by a publisher to write a college textbook entitled “STATICS.” (an engineering course). I am working towards it. (a 2-year project) LOVE IT. The science-based, very academic side that you picked up on was on point. As far as TRAVEL, you hit it right on the nose. I wrote a mouthful, but I am impressed. I have listened over and over and will continue to listen some more. Thank you so very much. I’m encouraged. With me being an encourager and motivator to everyone it’s good to be encouraged as well. At some point, I’d like to do a face-to-face. Bless you, and THANK YOU!!!!! — Dr. Odell Glenn Jr. PHD — Oct 2020 [blind 30 min recording]
You are so generous. I deeply appreciated meeting you and our conversation and the insight and perspective it generated for me. It was actually profound. It brought things very helpfully into focus. + Thank you, Vanessa for these dates. I really appreciate it! Fascinating. Some of them coincide with both of my marriages and the births of my children.
Judy Tsafrir MD — Holistic Psychiatrist. Oct 2020
“My natal chart analysis session with Vanessa was very insightful and has helped me to approach my work and business in a way that is more naturally aligned with my essence. It was grounded in her strong technical astrology skills and infused with heart. I am looking forward to working with her again soon. Thank you again for a very helpful astrology session. It gave me a lot of food for thought. — (Elizabeth) Liz Mclardy — June 2020
“Thank you so much! That was honestly one of the best hours of my life! I felt so seen and it is crazy that you already knew information about my life without me telling you. I love your energy so much. — Emiri Hirayama — May 2020
“I am very happy about our session, I felt heard and validated, and I can better manage my feelings. Thank you! — Nicoletta — May 2020 — Synastry
“I just had a session with Vanessa this weekend; it was amazing as always. I always leave her sessions with a sense of hope and it helps you come back to the observer’s perspective. Also, check out her book Star Power. It’s a great, easy way to get an understanding of your placements and your chart. And then also check her out over at Glamour magazine, she does the weekly horoscope. — Martha Varela. March 2020 (IG stories live testimonial)
“Thank you so much for the great reading!!! It was wonderful and validating, and helpful. — Anna Gard — March 2020
“This babe read my birth chart focused around business. She’s amazing, we talked planets, placements, houses, and life events. Such a beautiful experience with lots of giggles. — Nikki Renwick — NamikoNativeDesign.com Feb 2022
“It was transforming to hear mine (astrology consult). Feeling understood, directed + empowered to know what I’m here to do and how to do it in the most aligned way. Beautiful cosmic direction.— Amy Hutchins — CafeBinge.com. Oct 2019
“Vanessa did my recorded chart reading, and it was straight magic. Feeling so pumped and excited. She is the sweetest! I learned SO much, and you really opened so many doors for me…What totally blew me away was your accuracy on almost everything going on with my transits. Specifically in regards to my Jupiter return (and Chiron transit). I own a jewelry business… so when you were talking about that, my jaw literally dropped. I have been talking about you nonstop to my friends since yesterday. I am completely blown away, and I am feeling inspired and uplifted since hearing my recording. I can’t recommend you enough. — Marrin Bass — Radgems.co. September 2019 [blind 30 min recording]
“I just got off the line with Vanessa for a relationship consult. Vanessa reoriented me toward me so I can be the partner I want to be for the other. which is really really cool. I’ve known (of) Vanessa for a lot of years now. I’ve been watcher her for many years now. I actually found her book when I as in Cape Town. I read her book which is a fantastic book iso if you haven’t read it you should check it out. It really helped me to conceptualize some stuff, and it was a really beautiful way to get started. So this astrology for me as a tool has been something incredibly powerful in my life. People don’t really accept that perhaps the world is more intricate, more mystical than we ever believed. I’ve only seen that to be true in my life. The more I push toward these tools and these guidelines the more I understand myself. The more I understand myself the more empowered I become. I can maximize my strengths, I can minimize my weaknesses. And this is pure power. Not a lot of people associate astrology with power, but me, I do. I think it’s extremely powerful if you do it in the right way. So I really encourage you to reach out to Vanessa, she’s great at what she does. We had an awesome conversation It was great, I got a lot of resources to go and study, because I’m very Capricorn, so I want to break it down. So If you’re on the fence, jump in and see what you can create with Vanessa, she’s really collaborative, and she wants the best for you, and it’s really powerful. so thanks Vanessa I appreciate it.– Ben Slater — Systems for Business. Sept 2019.

“My planetary birth reading with Vanessa had me holding onto every word spoken. Navigating the layout of the charts became so simple to understand as Astro All-Starz explained it all to me. The knowledge this woman had to gift me was right there in my birth sky. I loved this reading. I loved it that much that I have pre-ordered her book to gain more knowledge, as knowledge is understanding this power. Be sure to message Vanessa/aka Astro All-Starz and book today, as her readings will balance you, align you, redirect you onto your true path. Thank you so much for the guidance. I now stand strong as a mother, as a businesswoman, and as myself. True blessings. Tracey Stephan — Tattoo artist, holistic energy/body worker. August 2019
“Thank you so much Vanessa! Your interpretation brought so much insight into my life and explained a lot of things about myself that I’ve always felt pressured to resist! I picked up your book a couple of weeks ago and have absolutely just powered through it trying to learn as much as I can! I’m excited to go through it again with your interpretations to guide me! Thank you again so much for the work that you do! — Alex Viveiros. April 2019
“I really enjoyed learning more about my astrological makeup from Vanessa. Before my session with her, I was totally unaware of my rising and moon signs let alone the rest of my birth chart. It was a great insight, and she explained it in a way that wasn’t too complicated for a virtual beginner. Vanessa’s knowledge of astrology is remarkable and delivered in a helpful, positive, and caring way with a focus on how you can use your astrological traits to live a fuller life. I consulted Vanessa through a challenging and pivotal part of my life. That period combined with consultations with Vanessa, made me think more closely about my values and what is important to me while giving me the opportunity to dig deep and heal certain patterns in my life. The insights into my astrology were helpful in keeping me focussed on moving forward with things and understanding myself better. Making sure I centered myself on whatever was happening at the time. –Ruth Gardner — Musician, Host, Operations manager 2019-2020
“The reading was really good, I really enjoyed it. I know what you mean about the limits of the one way ‘conversation’ but I tell ya, what you were able to convey was really accurate – no surprises I suppose though :) I really look forward to listening to it again and again, so I think it’s a really great, accessible format, and an awesome little sample (but still incredibly comprehensive and great value) for when people are just totally introverting and want the download without the interaction ha ha! Loved it, thanks again x — Bek Ireland. March 2019 [blind 30 min recording]
“My daughter McKaylah loved our reading you did for her this week Vanessa!! She’s listened to it three times and feels it was so accurate and insightful! — Danielle DevineGill. March 2019 [blind 30 min recording]
“It (my astro consult) was awesome, I feel really clear about everything, and I feel like I’m on track. It was a great experience. I’m leaving feeling really empowered. — Tayla Mae — @ImTaylaMae — Australian musician. 2019
“Vanessa did my birth reading 5 years ago (2012) in a different state (of Australia). By tapping into my star power and helping me understand my greatest me, I moved state, elevated my business and career to a new level, and truly stepped into my power Vanessa Montgomery of Astro All-Starz is the essential resource when it comes to our ‘who’ we are.– Nicole Rose — Compliance Lawyer, CreateTraining.com.au, TrainingHats.com. 2017
Yesterday, I had my reading with Astro All-Starz and Vanessa, with her wisdom, insight, and energy has left me speechless. So, I can’t say anything but that one hour has changed my outlook, my motivation and my entire mood towards myself and MY life.
Melissa Elix. Oct 2018
“WOW. Just had my reading with Astro All-Starz and my outlook on my life has changed. I’m ready. — LEX — LEX Music Australian music artist. @Iamlexmusic — Oct 2018
