Greetings, fellow brothers & sisters from planet Earth. It's Sam Rae here, calling out to you from the windy city of Chicago—well, from a lil' suburb south of Chicago called Frankfort.
It's a bit cringeworthy—the hours I've spent trying to nail down how to best describe who I am, what I do, & how my services help you heal. Life is in constant transformation, as is this astrology venture of mine, so I know this won't be my last crack at a bio. But whatevs—I’m just grateful for your virtual visit; please make yourself at home.<3
When I daydream about Sow & Reap Astrology, I envision a beautifully ethereal fruit garden—carefully tucked away from the noise of society. The air is clean, the flowers fragrant, the tree branches brimming with both delicious & nutritious fruits. There is soft grass, warm blankets, & comfy benches to sit & speak & giggle. The fresh fruits of the garden feed both our bodies & our souls, symbolizing the rich & tasty fruitfulness of spiritual & psychological transformation. Here's the catch: to access this magical fruit garden, we must open our eyes & take that first step down the garden’s long, winding road—a path paved with bumps of awkward clarity that reflect the wildly vulnerable process of seeing & embodying the Self in its rawest form.
So I'd like you to imagine me as both a fellow traveler on this often lonely road of self-awareness — as well as the pathtender of your unique garden. I'm here to offer an empathetic ear, a cup of tea or maybe a glass of wine, & gentle however honest insight into your Truth in Time. I come equipped with a 'gardening kit' of educational & professional tools, coupled with an organic ability to create a judgment-free space & a willingness to look & laugh (or cry) at that which makes us human.
My kit includes a degree in Astrophysics, a balance of modern & traditional astrology, years of research & practice under a variety of spiritual mentors, & hands-on experience in somatic counseling & other trauma-informed fields of integrative psychotherapy. The magical common thread that weaves my tools together with intention is my karmic/evolutionary worldview.

I wish I had the words to explain, this surprises me because I am normally very good with words. Sam essentially cut to a core that I felt like couldn’t be cut. It was an incredibly cathartic experience and gave me so much to reflect on. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, down to earth, talented and understanding. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to gain clarity & insight! I had my reading tonight and feel emotionally exhausted, but in a good way. Like some things just needed to be said & heard. A million stars, A+++ ♥️

So where to start...
I had a very wonderful reading, very much in detail. I could ask all my questions, Sam always answered me right on point. A session with Sam is timeless; she explains and knows so well what she is talking about. I would also like to mention how cautious she is in using her words while explaining.. I consider my session with Sam a true revelation. I got enlightened about so many aspects of my life, and my past life.. she is an absolute delight to listen to. I booked a session with Sam, to put a finger on why I am having so much trouble with relationships in general, why I feel like I feel, and honestly, she managed to clear them out, all one by one. I highly recommend her!

I have been practicing Astrology years now, always have been mesmerized the stars and their meanings. I thought I knew the basics to a star chart and could navigate my way through reading one fairly well. But was hesitant to have someone dissect me and my inner self, bc you really should be! Sam and I are in the some same astrology groups she had seen a response of mine with similar placements as herself she offered me a reading. Still not ready I thanked her, a few months later an event happened I needed answers to! Being someone very independent and cautious I took a leap of faith and reached out to her. I didn’t just get a reading that blew my mind, I became whole from her in-depth knowledge of karmic energy and other missing links I struggled with. Now I am so so proud to Call her my mentor for practicing Karmic energy and Astrology. Love you Sam Thank You for guiding me to light with your talent. 💖💖

I first heard of [Sow & Reap Astrology] through a Facebook comment. I have wanted to get my natal chart interpreted for a while but have refrained because of financial reasons. Two stimulus checks later, though, and I finally felt ready! When I first attempted to book a reading with Sam, it did not totally process, so I reached out over email. She responded almost immediately and so sweetly that any nervousness I felt totally dissipated! I was so excited; I could not find anything but glowing, 5-star reviews for Sam and her work––and for good reason. The day of the reading, Sam confirmed our time and was super punctual. I opened our Zoom call up to the cutest astrology Powerpoint I have ever seen in my life––definitely some Taurus aesthetic energy. Anyway, Sam began to explain polarities and axes and nodes both in general and my own natal chart. I have never even begun to understand astrology at the level of depth that Sam does off the top of her head. Though I have felt pretty in tune with my own energies and aptitudes, Sam still shed so much clarity onto certain parts of my life and personality. I came away from this reading with a much deeper understanding of the energies at play in this lifetime, as well as, of course, in my chart. Without even meaning to, Sam taught me so much more about astrology in just our meeting than I have ever known. She truly went above and beyond, stayed for much longer than needed, and put great amounts of analysis and effort into our reading. She truly is an incredibly talented astrologer with so much insight into the cosmic influences of our lives. I could not recommend her enough––I literally will not shut up about it and my friends are exhausted.

I was looking for someone to help explain my chart in a way I actually understood. Sam went into so much detail and made sure I understand what she was talking about. She went deeper into it than I even knew you could! So much made sense that she talked about, and answered any questions I had. She taught me a lot about not only my chart, but natal charts in general! I would absolutely recommend her for a reading! You won’t be disappointed!

Sam has an amazing approach to astrology, and as a science teacher, I deeply appreciated her background in astrophysics as well. It's a truly unique experience you don't want to miss. She does not focus on the typical elements, but shows you the ebbs and flows of your life and how they have influenced you. She took hours with me and was patient with every inquiry. The epiphanies were flowing and I came out feeling more confident in my life path and how to face my challenges head on. If you're considering getting a reading from the incredible Sam-Rae, look no further...schedule your appointment now.

What can I say?! I still revert back to my reading with Sam. She gave me insight and guidance that I didn't realize I needed. What started, for me, as just a natal chart reading, turned into a conversation with someone I now consider a friend about my Karma, the houses and how I can utilize my chart to be a better me. I have a better understanding of astrology as a whole and areas of focus in my life. I absolutely recommend anyone who is wanting a reading to check her out! Thank you for your time, your insight and just being an amazing human and astrologer!

I had my reading done by Sam and all I can say is wow! I had goosebumps for most of it! All of the work she put into my birth chart and the clarity I received from it was absolutely amazing! I loved this experience and would highly recommended her! 5 stars isn’t enough. Thank you Sam for such a great experience.

I was looking to just understand myself a little better maybe even completely, but I learned that there’s just some things i won’t get, and that’s the beauty of it all! One of the greatest experiences I’ve had; very inviting and down to earth. Will definitely be back again!

My reading with Sam was amazing. You can tell that she puts a lot of time and effort into each reading. She goes into so much detail. You can just tell that everything is personalized to you’re chart. She has opened up so much for me spiritually and opened my eyes to so much that I couldn’t even explain. I highly recommend if you are thinking about getting to understand you’re birth chart get a reading with her.
. . . but wait. there's more 5-stars!
