I have had several reports done by Rik over the years and have found immense value in both his perspective and approach to astrology. His insights about my natal chart have allowed me to navigate important life decisions, while providing a new awareness of the deeper patterns  hidden in my blindspots. The first time I listened to my natal report by Rik I cried - mostly because I felt deeply seen and understood in a way that felt truly profound. He pulled things out of my chart that no one had seen before, things that were extremely personal and relevant to me at the time that I needed to hear. To hear secrets spoken out loud, by someone who you haven't met before, is a life changing thing. It affirmed for me the existence of some kind of cosmic order or interconnectivity. Amidst the particular life transition that I was going through at the time, with all the confusion, strife, and doubt, I felt held by that knowing. This experience allowed me to get honest about dynamics in my life that weren't working for me, and work toward making changes that were more authentic and congruent with who I was becoming. I truly appreciate Rik's ability to be direct and honest in his reports and the particular way he communicates, especially when it comes to the more shadowy aspects. He's not afraid to go deep, to reveal what's in the shadow, and that has been one of the most valuable parts of his reports for me. I highly recommend his work to anyone who wants to learn more about themselves and their life through the lense of astrology.

I’ve had a decent number of astrological readings over the past nearly four decades, and I can enthusiastically say that Rik’s ability to hone in on the charts, to interpret and to share insights on what certain movements, and shifts signify...I’ve never come across someone who does this work as well as him. For me astrology, and especially those who take on the task of interpretation and offering meaning from their study, their understanding of the charts and movement of the planets…it’s both an art and a science. Rik has an intuitive sensibility and all three of the readings I have had with him have been uncanny in how well he “got it right”, if you will. My wife has had three readings as well, and was as blown away as I was each reading both as we listened initially, and then when we also went back to listen again 8-10 months later, finding still more meaning and connection as we reflected on all that had unfolded. Rik is gifted, in my view, and I’m grateful we found such a talented astrologer. I highly recommend his services.

First of all I want to say that you are by far the most talented astrologer that me and my wife have ever seen, and my wife has seen astrologers her whole life, and I have seen them in the last decade frequently. This is the first reading I've ever paid for in my life, and I did so because we resonate with your work and perspective very deeply.

The accuracy in finding the aspects and attributes of both my wife and my charts were Freakishly accurate and we were almost convinced that you had morphed into a fly and was living in our home for the last couple of years LOL.

The deeper understanding that both of us have received from the paths that lay ahead and the reasons why we are having resistances in our professional and family lives, have been made so much more clear.

One of the aspects that you had talked about is taking those weird etheatrical metaphysical New Age constructs and bringing them to a grounded place, and that's one of the reasons I think I found the success I have with my business and in helping others. This is also a talent that you have. You take the things that are harder to see and make them clear. And ground them in a way that can be useful helpful and teachable moments.

I am sure my wife will want to message you, so I will not speak for her, but from both of our initial reactions we both found extreme value and what you shared and are very excited to have the value that you've given us.

In this era of so much fluff and fantasy infused into everything, including astrology, finding Rik and his work has felt like a breath of truly fresh air, and a gift of a lifetime for me.  I have purchased many readings over the years from many different astrologers but it wasn’t until I got my first report from Rik that I felt like I finally found someone I can keep coming back to. Rik is grounded and practical with his delivery of the astrological language: he tells it like he sees it, but he is also inspiring, compassionate, encouraging, and a natural teacher. My own understanding of astrology has grown immensely just by listening to Rik’s reports on my natal chart, transits, progressions and relocations – I return to all of them often and listen to them many times over because they dive so deep and have so much to offer. Rik’s reports remind me of those “life-long” songs we all have, the ones we love so much that we can play them on repeat numerous times and never grow tired of hearing them because they give something back to us every time. Rik’s openness with doing a report on my father’s chart shortly after my father’s passing gave me an opportunity to move through grief with a lot more grace, acceptance and understanding – it’s a big deal yet it’s just one of the many offerings to be found in Rik’s reports.

I highly recommend Rik’s work to anyone interested in the language of astrology: Rik’s way of unveiling the mystery without disturbing the magic of it will crack you open and free you up in all the right ways.

I really like the way you read the stars. You feel a little different from other astrologers and that is what I like about you. One of your talents, one of the things that makes you such a good astrologer is that you can look into one's soul (with the stars as your tool), into the core of who I (the client) am; to be seen without judgement, can be, in lack of other words, a very powerful experience. You can put a light on things that have been forgotten, give keys to doors that have been closed for too long. A sense of remembering (remembering a connection that got lost through the years. through lifetimes?).This brings a sense of freedom but also a responsibility for that freedom. You have a way to empower, to show opportunities and you deliver it in such a humble, down-to-earth kind of way. It is beautiful; and it is powerful. I'm grateful that I've found you.

As an astrologer Rik has not only guided me into better alignment but has gently encouraged my personal esoteric journey without judging, without manipulation. In the last couple of years I went through some tough changes in both my family and professional life as a small business owner. I started ordering Transit, Progression and Astrocartography reports through Astrohawk. The reports were thorough, well written.  I trust Rik with the blueprint of my soul and he never fails to expand my knowledge of myself and the field of possibilities that awaits me.

Up until around two years ago my interactions with astrology have produced doubt, confusion, and only added to my skepticism of it's validity. However, when I came across Rik's blog I got the sense that his work was somehow different. His interpretations were more specific and extensive, yet he managed to simplify things so they were easy to understand and apply to real life situations. Being profoundly interested in the fields of personal and spiritual development enticed me to order a reading from Rik, and then another. I have since been an avid fan of his work and emphatically anticipate his articles and reports. Understanding how the unseen forces of the cosmos interact with the physical realm has vastly improved my conscious awareness, which is an invaluable asset to have when making critical decisions and/or responding to life's occasional turbulent events. Ancient civilizations knew the importance of working with nature for the benefit of all life on Earth, which is something todays culture has unfortunately repressed. I highly recommend that anyone who wants to further their self development and understand more about the underlying cosmic energies that affect their journey, follow Rik's work and get a personal reading from him. Know thyself.

Rik has an uncanny way of taking all of his astrological training, knowledge and study, combining it with a very grounded spot on intuition, to provide an in depth comprehensive look into how the planets affect my life and the lives around me. After years of working with all different types of astrology (Vedic, Shamanistic, Traditional etc.) I am so happy to have found Rik. His work has given me the tools to approach sections of my life with foresight in addition to having perspective and ability to understand/digest deeply my passed experiences in an accelerated manner.

A unique reading Rik has provided to me and my family is the 30 year charts for our 2 girls (2yo & 7yo), it was an amazing tool to read with my wife to both confirm many of our intuitions about each of their personality's but also the chance to explore these things deeper and dialogue about them. In this new age of parenting, we have the opportunity to broaden the tools of parenting as we steward their lives each day, these charts should be part of every parents tool box that can be open and willing to use them.

Anyone interested in a reading for the first time or unhappy with the results they have experienced otherwise should explore a relationship with Rik. He will be our advisor for life.
