Testimonials

"For keeping one's astrology grounded, real, and honest, there is nothing like facing the realities of clients' eyes day in and day out. Maridel Bowes has been doing that for many years. The result is that she has entered into a remarkable three-way conversation among herself, the planets, and the souls of other human beings.  There are astrologers who write bestsellers and yet who wouldn't have the foggiest idea what to say to a person in crisis or transformation. Then there are astrologers like Maridel, who may not have written their bestsellers (yet!), who compose their masterpieces one at a time in that secret alchemical chamber called the counseling room. I know her work. I would trust her with my own soul. I can think of no higher endorsement."

--Steven Forrest, author of The Inner Sky

"Maridel did a reading for me as an example of what my customers would be able to expect when she came to Boise. WOW! It was one of the best Astrology readings I have ever had--and I have had a lot! What great insight, knowledge and awareness of my chart and the person that I came into this life to BE. Maridel's astrology readings are recorded so you can hear them over and over again. I highly recommend that you try this experience for yourself."

--Stephanie Nardini

When I first listened to my natal chart reading, I was a total newcomer to astrology. I was hopeful that I’d learn something about myself, maybe a little skeptical, but not prepared for the astounding insight into myself that I gained.

I’ve listened to my reading many times, finding each time a new understanding of myself  as well as greater acceptance. This has resulted in more confident decision--making when faced with life’s choices.

I’m grateful for Maridel’s skill as an astrologer, counselor, and guide through the complexities of life. 

--Jim MacDonald

I have found Maridel’s astrological readings and astrological counseling to be profoundly accurate and supportive. She is able to provide superb insight into the self, validate feelings, and teach how to best work with the current planetary influences. Her verbiage is clear and precise, leaving no question as to the meaning of her statement.

I always attain a send of peace, combined with the knowledge of how to best navigate challenging times after consulting with Maridel. I consider myself fortunate to have met her and I highly recommend her work. 

--Mir

Your readings have touched the depth of true soul and validated me as a being. They have given me the courage to work on healing the wounds of the past and to be open to my own evolving journey. I am so grateful for this spiritual experience. Trusting my inner voice has truly become a part of my process, and I now feel I have the openness and strength within me to be all I am meant to be.

Thank you, Maridel, for this wonderful gift you share with us.

--Judy Baker

I have worked with Maridel for a number of years, relying on her wisdom to help bring clarity to my life. She provides great insights about potentials for decision-making and action. Her wonderful gentle nature is combined with great knowledge and wisdom. She has a superb way of languaging that is very clear for someone like myself who has had little previous exposure/knowledge of astrology.

I look forward to my regular "check-ups" with Maridel. Everything she says makes so much sense and feels right - it is so validating that I always feel better after a session with Maridel. She helps me remember and appreciate who I am and why I am here at this time. A session with Maridel warms my heart and makes my soul smile

Maridel has done numerous astrological readings for me, my family, and friends. Without exception the readings have been "right on" and a powerful experience. Although I personally have consulted Maridel for myself regularly since 1994, sometimes it is easier to speak to her readings of others.

While driving home from Tahoe, my husband and I were listening to a tape Maridel had done of his birth chart. He was so moved by the accuracy and perceptiveness of the reading that we had to pull off the road. He was crying, not because of what she was saying, but because she was able to give voice and credence to the pain of his childhood. How could she have known this when he'd never told anyone? My scientist husband, who did not believe in astrology, was forever changed by that reading.

Maridel also did a reading for my granddaughter Brazyl when she was one year old. No one has heard the reading but me. However, it so accurately describes this extraordinarily sensitive child (now 9 years old), that I have been able to guide her parents on how to respond to her. It is an amazing reading. I look forward to sharing it with Brazyl when she grows up. It will help her in accepting herself which is, of course, the whole goal.

I highly recommend Maridel's readings - not only for the information which is conveyed, but for the sensitivity with which she conveys it.

--Marsha McVean

Maridel’s readings are incredibly insightful. She has done readings for my children at crucial times when I really needed some guidance. I love to listen to her tapes over and over again, not only because I learn more each time I listen, but also because I love to hear to her soothing voice. She has such a calming influence even  without being in the room with you. I highly recommend Maridel’s readings!
