Please be certain of the accuracy of your birth data! If you've made a mistake and need the chart re-done, we'll have to charge you the full price for the corrected order, unless of course, the birth data error was ours.

Please do not adjust the birthtime for daylight or war time if you think it was in effect. We have sophisticated astrological atlases that will do any such adjustment for you, so please just give us the birth time exactly as it was stated on the birth certificate or birth record, or exactly as it was given to you by your parents, without your adjusting it in any way.

How long does it take to get a reading?
Steven has waiting lists, currently up to one year for recorded readings, and as little as six weeks for in-person readings. Sometimes Steven has availability on location when he travels.

You may find it answers all your questions and then some; however, if you'd still like a consult about setting up a practice, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

How important is it to give you my correct birthtime?
VERY IMPORTANT!!! Sometimes even five minutes can make a significant difference in a birthchart. Please be certain of the accuracy of your birth data.

How can I find my birthtime?
In the US, sometimes the state recorded the time, even if it isn't on the birth certificate. Visit our Where to Order Birth Certificates page for details. That page also has some information for Europe; scroll down to the end of the page. If you're adopted and all you want to know is your birthtime, the Internet itself is a great source of information. Google "adoptee information" or something similar, and see what you can locate.

What if I still can't find my birthtime?
Astrologer Jodie Tighe has a CHART RECTIFICATION SERVICE. First, Jodie encourages you to explore every other possibility (relatives' memories, baby books, relatives' diaries, hospital records, etc.) to verify your birth time or at least get a ballpark figure for it. Why? Because rectification may not be accurate, and because its accuracy will vary with the time frame within which you were born. What does that mean? For example, if you know you were born between noon and 2 p.m., the rectification will probably be more accurate than if you know you were born between noon and 4 p.m. Still, sometimes finding a birthtime is impossible. If you've tried everything with no success, Jodie can "work backwards" through astrology's predictive techniques to find a chart that would have accurately predicted the timing of various biographical events. She'll need a list of at least two dozen emotionally or developmentally significant dates in your life, along with brief descriptions of them--"got married," for example.
Jodie's fee varies with the imprecision of the birth time. Please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for further details.

Will Seven Paws Press publish my manuscript?
We're sorry but Seven Paws Press is not accepting any manuscripts at this time. Please do not send us anything! The sheer volume of our mail is such that it may not be acknowledged or returned to you. Thank you very much for your understanding and consideration in this matter. Please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it if you have any questions or need assistance.

Why is your press called Seven Paws Press?
For its Feline Overseers! Steven had a spoiled, affectionate, three-legged, one-eared, talkative Wise Elder Cat named Vincent, who will probably be human in his next lifetime. He left this world on July 29, 2000, and will be missed. Rest in peace, Vincent the Cat.

Why do Steven Forrest and Jeffrey Wolf Green call themselves "The Pluto Brothers"?
Because they co-authored two books about astrology (which are now out of print): Measuring the Night: Evolutionary Astrology and the Keys to the Soul, Volume 1 and Volume 2, based on a series of lectures they gave together. To learn more read Hadley Fitzgerald's interview with Steven and Jeffrey, "The Pluto Brothers Measure the Night"
