Welcome to THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE YOU
Astrology, Core Energetics, and the Soul’s Becoming
Are you ready to truly invest in yourself and your future?
Are you standing at a turning point — a time when the old ways no longer fit, and something deeper is stirring beneath the surface?
These are The Awakening Years — not a crisis, but a sacred invitation. An opportunity to remember who you are beneath the roles, responsibilities, and expectations. A chance to step fully into your truth.
As a Master Metaphysical Astrologer, I combine astrology with powerful transformational modalities like Core Energetics to help you reconnect with your essence and step into your highest expression.
Astrology isn’t just a tool — it’s a gift. A personal roadmap that reflects your multifaceted beauty, reveals your soul’s timing, and guides you toward your true potential.
I’m not just an astrologer. I specialize in working with complex, intense, purpose-driven souls who are seeking clarity, coherence, and depth. I’m here to remind you of your innate brilliance — and to help you shine where you’re meant to lead.
Together, we’ll explore the challenges you face, uncover your inner resources, and shift the patterns that hold you back. Whether you’re navigating The Threshold Years, embracing your Maverick nature, or facing questions of legacy and purpose, this is your space to align, transform, and thrive.
In every session, I go beyond the basics. You’ll receive key insights and actionable takeaways that support both your healing and your forward momentum. If you carry Maverick placements, I’ll show you how to harness their power in a way that’s uniquely yours. I am the one who wrote the groundbreaking book Astrological Mavericks: Do you have what it takes to change the world? (order here) a comprehensive 1,000 page plus book that uses real life examples of individuals with planets on the angles.
This is your invitation to go deep, reclaim your truth, and begin again — not from scratch, but from wisdom.
Let’s begin

Virginia Paciocco, The Awareness Coach
Working with Michael has been nothing short of transformative. In our sessions, he continuously points me back to my personal power and highest aspects, steering me away from getting stuck or misusing my gifts. He has a remarkable ability to describe strengths and talents so specifically that it feels as though he is reminding me of who I truly am.
Michael shows me how I can use my own tools to pull myself up and out of the mud—with humor, clarity, and compassion—while never letting me forget that, yes, I am strong enough to do it. Even the smallest insights, like his comment about being a “busy body,” land with deep impact. That one helped me recognize that when I give energy or advice to people who haven’t asked for it, they won’t respect it.
He brings me back to practical steps: habit stacking, challenging myself, making and noticing art, and remembering that naps are essential but so is physical movement. When I gave him excuses about joining a women’s gym, he reminded me that my brain and body need walks and activity, and that safe options do exist. He encouraged me to put pen to paper, take an inventory, and hash things out—guidance I truly needed.
What stands out most is how Michael’s steady presence allows me to see myself more clearly. He pulls out statements I’ve made and reflects them back in ways that help me stop replaying old patterns. Through this process, he has helped me discover the part of me that can finally say: “YES! That’s me.” He also encouraged me to end a situation that wasn’t serving me, which I am deeply grateful for.
Michael’s guidance is equal parts empowering and practical. He reminds me of my strengths, points me toward meaningful actions, and helps me clear away distractions and fears. His work is truly a gift for anyone seeking clarity, courage, and direction.

I’ve always been interested in meditation, Eastern philosophy, and consciousness studies. What I found elusive about astrology, however, was that I could not experience astrological forces directly, in the same way I did other spiritual phenomena. Michael Bartlett is helping me to change that. He has a flexible, creative approach that allows me to have a more experiential connection to astrology. For me, this is about becoming aware of the psychological and subtle forces at work within me, and helping me to navigate the work of psycho-spiritual transformation I am engaged in. I also appreciate Michael’s curiosity about new perceptions and perspectives, and his honesty about acknowledging what he doesn’t yet know. This sincerity gives his work a deeper value that opens to the possibilities of evolutionary spirituality for which our souls have taken birth at this time of global transformation.

I’ve been studying astrology for over twenty years. It can be esoteric and complex. I’m a visual learner, which is why I really appreciate the way Michael creates a story using the theater as the medium to introduce your chart and the planets as actors on a stage. It’s brilliant! A story unfolds that resonates with your whole being.When the planet/actors are in a hard aspect, you understand the tension in the script and naturally you can see a way out of the tension and how to move the story forward. The planet/characters in easy aspect, are the supporting actors carrying the themes and helping to release tension in a productive manner.If you are a visual learner, one who appreciates the visceral feelings of a story well told, you will love this ingenious way to communicate an astrological chart!-Natasha Palmaer, M.A. Mythological Studies, Pacifica Graduate Institute
Michael's most recent reading for me was very empowering. I was considering an exciting professional opportunity and Michael explained how my chart reflects aspects of myself that will help me excel in making a genuine contribution. His astrocartography reading was particularly intriguing and insightful. Michael is both highly professional and warmly enthusiastic--a winning combination.
