People regularly go to therapists, psychologists, life coaches, career consultants, priests and chaplains, astrologers, psychics, and tarot readers — all for similar reasons.

They are seeking order amid chaos, guidance along unfamiliar trails, meaning beneath insignificance, awareness over confusion, knowledge of self.

My practice, as a philosopher, thinker, and divinatory artist (astrology and tarot), sits somewhere at the intersection of all of these.

What is Philosophical Dialoguing?

‘Sie werden bei mir nicht Philosophie lernen aber—philosophieren, nicht Gedanken blosz zum Nachsprechen, sondern Denken.’

“You will learn from me not philosophy but to philosophize, not thoughts to be imitated but to think.”

—Kant

Philosophical Dialoguing is a form of guided conversation where we think together about whatever is actually alive in your life right now. Though related, it is not therapy, not a reading, and not coaching toward a goal. The key difference is that where most of these offerings are outcome-oriented, this one is not.

Philosophical Dialoguing takes the shape of clearing space through inquiring and reflecting so that the wisdom that is already yours can come into view — rather than being handed an answer, or a diagnosis, or a set of rules. It is about genuine encounter, dialogue, and self-discovery, meant to meet and nourish you exactly where you currently stand in your journey.

Because of this, there is no fixed method that dictates how we proceed during sessions.

In practice, this tends to look like: you bring something — a question, a problem, a concern, a knot, a feeling you can’t quite name — and we follow it together, wherever it leads, using conversation to explore and dialogue to make sense of what the exploration unearths.

Sometimes that’s enough on its own. Other times it helps to bring in a specific tool — Logic-Based Therapy & Consulting (LBT&C) if you’re stuck on a particular problem, Astrology or Tarot if you want a symbolic anchor for the question — but the tool always serves the conversation, not the other way around.

Philosophical Dialoguing can help you:

• Work through a decision you’re stuck on, by examining the reasoning and fears underneath it rather than just weighing pros and cons

• Sit with grief, loss, fear of mortality, or dread without being rushed toward “moving on”

• Untangle a recurring pattern in your relationships, work, or self-talk that you can sense but can’t quite name

• Question a belief or narrative about yourself that’s causing real suffering, and test whether it actually holds up under logical scrutiny

• Find language for an experience — spiritual, existential, uncanny — that helps you understand it beyond social conventions

• Reconnect with a sense of meaning or direction after a loss of faith, a major transition, or a period of disillusionment

• Explore a specific life question through the lens of astrology or tarot, without being handed a fatalistic verdict

• Simply think out loud, seriously and without judgment, with someone trained to listen for what’s underneath what you’re saying

What it’s not for: diagnosing or treating a psychiatric condition, replacing licensed mental health care, or predicting your future. If you’re not sure whether what you’re facing fits here, reach out and we can talk about it before committing to anything.

A note on astrological birth charts: I don’t offer natal readings as a standalone service — a natal chart, unlike a horary question, has no natural end point, and I’ve come to believe that open-ended natal work sits uneasily with honest pricing and honest practice. But your natal chart can still be present in our conversation — referenced, consulted, brought in as one more mirror among several — if it’s useful to what we’re exploring together.

Can I get a tarot reading or a horary chart reading? — yes you certainly can. Horary charts require a specific question that is clearly formulated, and I can help you with that. Tarot readings do not require a clear question, but note that these will be more philosophical in nature than anything like the typical fortune telling that most tarot readers offer.

Nota Bene:

As a philosopher I aim to assist individuals to learn the art of thinking. I do not teach dogma, or impart facts. I teach people to be philosophers, which means to inquire penetratingly and courageously about existence in all of its aspects and, thereby, to live more meaningfully. Therefore, when you consult with me you are not a client, but an inquirer (just like myself) and so together we are inquiring into your life, which also includes life and existence as a whole.
