"I had such a lovely time with Spencer! We did a deep dive on the fixed stars in my chart, and discussed a great range of topics. Spencer is incredibly generous with his experience, and very thorough in his research and preparation (which wasn't surprising to me given what I already knew of his work, but it bears saying!!). I very much appreciated his insight into myths associated with the stars, and it's given me a lot to think about. The Tarot spread was really interesting to discuss as well, and I realised a few days later that its layers of meaning went even deeper than the ones we talked about in session, echoing some of my own divining. Spencer's passion for the work is evident and truly shines, and he brings such kindness and care to a session. It's not just that he's very knowledgeable, but he's obviously invested in being as helpful and encouraging as he can with that knowledge. I definitely would (and will) recommend his services!" - Azur C.

"As I had had multiple birth chart readings with various astrologers before contacting Spencer, I was less interested in making a first contact with my birth chart and more looking for a nitty-gritty what-can-I-do perspective on my life. I finally decided to book a reading with Spencer as I expected him to be very detail oriented in his astrology style, going beyond the basics in a chart. I was 100% happy with the reading Spencer provided, as he riffed off reading in an incredibly dynamic fashion, covering my entire birth chart, the decans, fixed stars, two solar return charts, with a clear structure and story line, and all the time made the reading touch upon facets that no other astrologer had covered already. Magically he opened up various issues for me to look deeper into on my own, yet, with all the story lines culminating in one main message." - Manuela Kronen

"As an attorney, I really appreciated the detail, thoroughness, care and attention you paid to each of the planets and the major aspects in my chart; bringing out the subtle and sometimes contradictory life obstacles and gifts they have bestowed in my life. You really brought out the major themes in my life, as I've experienced them so far. The only tidbit that could have made it a bit better is if I was a little less knowledgeable about astrology (lol), because you saw and confirmed everything that I saw in my own chart...The shock and surprise of the reading as a complete total novice would have been amazing...LOL. But the addition of your Decans and fixed star readings brought even more evidence to bear on what I intuitively knew about my chart (and ahem, things I should change in my life...lol).
Spencer, you have soft, intuitive approach to your reading that isn't over-bearing or over-reliant on psychological analysis and reading too much into "the lack" in people's chart, that defines so many astrological readings online (an out-growth of individual-centered personal growth directives so en vogue today). It strikes the right balance between attentive awareness to themes of fate, personal learning, turning points in life and due respect paid to hopefulness for the future in the diviner; something a birth chart is not able to convey. Please continue to share your gift with others so that they may benefit from a star-reading guru like yourself." - Franklin J. Miles

"I always enjoy getting my chart check-ins done with Spencer. He keeps it more of a conversation than a monologue/straight reading. He provides good insight and advice as well as providing guidance around what to expect astrologically. Thank you Spencer :)" - Chi B.

"My Fixed Star reading with Spencer was probably one of the most validating and accurate astrology readings I've ever experienced. His insight, intuitive interpretations of the energies and thoroughness of his preparation for our session really impressed me, but what I appreciated the most was his thought provoking questions. The session was interactive and participatory, which made it really powerful and personal for me. A week later, and I am still thinking about and meditating upon what came up during our session." - Hannah Kuhary

"Spencer has a grounded approach to synthesizing traditional Hellenistic astrology techniques with more modern techniques, such as tarot, the decans, and the use of fixed stars. His approach is to weave these teachings together into a unified understanding of your chart and thoughtful approach to your questions." - Marya M.

"Getting a natal chart reading with Spencer was wonderful. He was warm, friendly and extremely thorough researching my chart. I especially appreciated his use of the Decans; the explanations gave incredible depth to the meaning of planetary placements. I look forward to working with him again in the future." -Gavin T.

"I had a fascinating reading with Spencer. I know my chart pretty well already, but he was able to reveal a deep web of hidden dimensions I hadn't perceived before. His observations were on point, but what was particularly useful was the sage advice he offered on how to work with the challenges and opportunities my chart presents. I particularly liked the way he worked with the decans and minor arcana of the tarot, carefully explaining the associated esoteric symbolism and myths. He also drew cards and the I Ching - a really comprehensive and holistic approach. The reading has given me much to think about, and I will definitely be watching the recording again. As a student astrologer myself, I found the reading truly inspiring for my future practice. Big recommend. Thanks Spencer!" - Dan W.

"Having had natal readings in the past, Spencer's reading was by far the most in-depth, constructive, helpful and thorough. His patient, soulful counseling style, impeccable astrological knowledge, and the true interest he shows when reading your chart is honorable. He offers a wide range of astrological services to fit everyone's needs and I was able to schedule a reading quickly and effortlessly through his website. If you are a student of astrology he offers much appreciated tutoring services. Spencer Michaud is like a cosmos medium delivering the messages from stars." - Jodie E. Arrington

"I took Spencer's class on the Scorpio decans and was not disappointed. He is thoughtful, thorough and kind and you can feel his passion and presence in the way he presents his material. He does not lecture, he weaves stories and material in a way that makes me feel intimately connected with the cosmos and the topic he is teaching. He is generous with his time and energy and I felt graciously welcomed into his circle. I expected to learn something new about the topic of Scorpio when I signed up from this class, which was true, but I walked away with a deeper appreciation and connection to a study I've been connected to for years, which was unexpected and moving. Thank you Spencer for offering a safe space to share and learn and for the care you put into your work. I am so grateful to have met you!" - Hannah Kuhary

"I highly recommend the Decans workshop - Spencer's teaching was thorough yet accessible, for both the beginner and experienced student. I came way with a deeper appreciation of the nuance of the Decans and how it may be seen in the life of the native."- Ailish F.
.
"This workshop was truly incredible. Spencer is unbelievably thorough, exploring astro-mythology, astronomy, tarot, and a wide range of ancient and modern texts that bring the material full-circle. It was so refreshing to be in a space with others who are grappling with these themes and growth edges and processes of shedding, death, rebirth, and self-realization. I also greatly appreciated the space at the end to discuss our thoughts and experiences. Given where I am in my personal journey and as someone with my moon in Scorpio in the 12th, I felt affirmed, challenged, and seen, and feel that the material will help with my own integration and growth."

As someone who is new to astrology I really appreciated the in-depth exploration of the individual decans. Even with limited knowledge, I found it thorough, engaging, and has given me a lot to think about and explore further!" - Clare Flatley
