Yet somehow the new calling, career or creative path that beckoned throughout your former life remains as elusive as ever.

Your mother breaks her hip and your focus turns to her recovery. Then Your closest friend gets diagnosed with a serious illness, and you find yourself in the thick of helping to manage her treatment.
The old network of daily connections evaporates once you’ve moved on to your less-structured existence. You crave more interaction, but it’s not so easy to know what new venture would fill the gap or how to find it.
You remember the spark that a sculpture class ignited long ago when it seemed impractical to pursue it. Now the path back to that possibility feels faint, though you haven’t stopped wanting to experience that remembered sense of creative flow.
The question of how you want to make a positive difference in the world comes to the foreground. You have plenty to offer. But the path forward that makes use of your real gifts is not so clear.
The rift with your estranged brother has has been a nagging concern for a while. Now seems like the time to gain some perspective that could help you decide how to proceed.
Boredom grows and you get tired of feeling in limbo. When the headhunters call, you opt for the old work routine. The familiar grind occupies your mind again. But so does the feeling that there’s something more heartfelt out there to do with your life.
I know that evolutionary astrology can provide deeply resonant insights that help lift the haze of confusion, damaging self-evaluation and doubt. That’s why I’ve designed a series of sessions focused on connecting people in transitional stages of life with their unique, soul-powered way forward.
I’m Davika Thomas. I studied astrology for several decades before earning master certification as an evolutionary astrologer through the Forrest Center for Evolutionary Astrology in 2024. During those early decades studying the craft, I maintained an 18-year practice as a certified massage and craniosacral therapist. I also underwent 10 years of training and initiation in indigenous healing traditions, with a particular focus on Andean and Himalayan wisdom.
Through my daily spiritual practice and work with clients, I became convinced that we as humans can align with Nature to heal and, in turn, participate with positive change.
In 2012, a health crisis coincided with a shift in focus. I decided to go to work as a school bus driver. I spent the next eight years learning from a wide array of children and adults from diverse backgrounds. I was challenged, inspired and humbled by relationships and situations that put me in touch with a wide spectrum of pressures and issues that people face everyday. For someone like me, this was a training ground of a different sort. i often felt mystified by how interesting and engrossing and, at times, inexpressibly moving the work was to me.
About six years into that job, I started studying astrology with a new level of interest and cast around for a place to ground my astrological education. Evolutionary astrology stood out as the soul-illuminating lens that gave me the most comprehensive and multileveled insights on my own birth chart.
One day while gazing at my chart, I suddenly saw how encounters with high pressure situations involving multiple competing interests and (at times rebellious) children was what I needed to move me closer to my soul’s calling. The words of Andean elders that “we are the result of the conversation” between Earth and Sky came back to me and finally made concrete sense. I saw that “conversation” recorded right there in the map of the planets in relationship to my place on earth at the minute I was born.
I think it was then that I knew for sure that I wanted to practice astrology as a path to help people connect with their own true natures. My work as an astrologer is underpinned by my experience and training in Earth Medicine traditions and my ongoing, day to day relationship with Nature.
The four sessions:
Session One: We explore your birth chart through the lens of pre-decided areas of focus that pertain to the current issues or challenges you encounter as you move toward your most fulfilling life.
Session Two: We review any issues or insights since our last meeting and look at how planetary transits and progressions impact you now and in the near future.
Session Three: The first “going deeper” session opens up new levels of awareness and integration of information that has surfaced since the beginning of our work together. We explore more layers of meaning in you natal and transit charts.
Session Four: In the second “going deeper” session and our last meeting for this foundational series we review and look further into your charts to address insights and ideas that you are working with. We can also address the next steps you plan to take as you move forward.
The timeframe for completion of all four sessions is approximately two months. You will receive audio recordings and transcripts after each session, as well as copies of your astrological charts.
Cost: $900
Discounted price for inaugural clients: $750 (or 3 monthly payments of $259)
Early enrollment: Extra discount if you sign up during the month of October: $700 (or 3 monthly payments of $241)

Words from Next Chapter Foundation Sessions alumni:
Davika shares her knowledge both educationally and intuitively and has changed my life! Although very subtle, there are may eye-opening, “eureka” moments into areas that I rarely notice or comprehend. Usually I would disregard and now I understand and embrace these insights. Thank you, Davika. I now give myself permission and acknowledgement for aspects of my life that I couldn’t understand. I am looking forward to more sessions!
Claire Ducharme
These 4 sessions ended up being a heartfelt gift to myself! When Davika asked if there were any issues I might welcome more clarity around, I mentioned regrets over the “road not taken” before retirement. During our work together, she suggested a pattern of early influences and also pointed to other influences that eventually vastly expanded the comfort zone I’d clung to. I finally got why I’d made limiting choices so often! But I also understood that my deeper direction in life naturally took its own time to emerge-but has been there quietly all along. Rather than prescribing road maps, Davika’s approach offered gentle inquiries and suggested places for integration that, for me lead to further insights. Ultimately, the sessions brought me a new sense of peace, as well as drawing out a promise to myself to keep listening to the deeper, quieter wisdom within.
Our work went beyond my sorrow over “roads not taken”, and there were one or two surprises along the way! But I wanted to share this example to describe what the journey through the Next Chapter Sessions felt like for one adventurer (me!).

FAQ:
Where do sessions take place?
We’ll meet over Zoom, unless you live near Columbia, Missouri and prefer to come to my office.
How are these sessions structured?
The areas of focus we determine during a preliminary call serve as the basis for chart explorations during our four consultations. In session one, we explore your natal chart to shed light on those issues. Sessions 2-4 generally start with a check-in and review of any insights and experiences since our previous meeting, followed by an in-depth look at current and recent transits as they relate to focus area and 10-15 minutes of wrap-up at the end of each meeting.
Why is there a two-month timeframe for Next Chapter Foundation Sessions?
One to 2 weeks between consultations allows enough time for some integration of information while keeping the insights and questions you are working with fresh and active. This provides momentum for our work together. The timeframe can be extended by a few weeks if necessary, however.
What if I want ongoing support once the four foundation sessions are complete?
As a Next Chapter Foundation Sessions alumni, you will be eligible for several “keep going” sessions package options at reduced rates.
How do I schedule and pay for these sessions?
The fastest and easiest way to schedule appointments is through the website. Once we have talked and you have decided to sign up, I can send a link for you to schedule your sessions. You can then check out and pay for the Next Chapter Foundation Sessions, either in full or with 3 monthly payments.
Are Sessions confidential?
Yes. All consultations with me are strictly confidential. Please keep in mind that although deep material may come up during our conversations, these sessions are not a substitute for psychotherapy. If issues arise that you would like to explore with a psychotherapist or other practitioner and would like help finding the right person to work with, I will do my best to assist you.
