My consultation went really well. I never knew about some interpretation of my natal placements but Patrick described... them really simply and thoroughly. His interpretations align with my life themes greatly. It’s not too doom and gloom nor “over the top” unrealistic. It’s just a very objective analysis that evaluates the context of my subjective experiences. I really like his timing techniques. It gives me some hope for the future, and enhances my understanding of struggles I’ve dealt or been dealing with.read more

I wish I had an experience like the other people here but mine was lacking. It felt like my chart wasn’t looked at... until the time of my reading which is FINE if it would’ve resulted in more information about me. A bulk of the information given to me was about general astrology. I. E. “let’s spend 15min talking about what the 8th house represents” versus what this means for me. Overall, it felt like a flimsy reading. I ended up booking a reading with a different astrologer who said a lot of the same things (and a lot of new) but way more fleshed out and edifying. I wouldn’t recommend this service.read more

I had a general chart reading today with Patrick. It was probably one of the most therapeutic self-care things I have... ever done for myself. I gained so much insight into some of my recent struggles and what may be causing them from an astrological perspective. He helped me understand some of the conflicts I have been facing with family and career, and even some of the challenges my children have been facing during recent transits. I am new to astrology and the accuracy of what he was able to predict about me and events in my past was astounding. More importantly, Patrick was fun, personable, and very good at explaining the complicated aspects in a way that made sense. I ended the session feeling optimistic about my future, and knowing when to expect some trouble related to two difficult placements. Thank you Patrick.read more

I set up a consultation with Patrick hoping to understand parts of my life better … but I left with vastly more.
I... learned how the interactions between the various planets of my natal chart worked together, showing areas that might show ease and others that might be more problematic. I also learned how various parts of my natal chart represented things outside myself – such as people, places, and things. I was amazed with what he told me – it was as if he knew me intimately.
Not only was the consultation both fun and interesting but Patrick’s feedback for the questions I asked him was invaluable. He has a logical approach to astrology that truly connected, and he has inspired me to learn about myself through my chart.
I cannot speak highly enough of Patrick.read more

I’m very pleased with and thankful for the natal consultation I had with Patrick Watson; he provided super interesting,... helpful insights into the topics I expressed my curiosity about. Not only does he exhibit an extraordinary depth of knowledge, skill, talent, professionalism, and passion in his craft, as well as demonstrate a notably strong capacity to pinpoint the precise timing of imperative events in people’s lives via Zodiacal Releasing & other beautiful techniques, but his approach achieves the ideal balance of kind sensitivity and 100% honesty. And as others have said, he has a great sense of humor; in my opinion, the value of that cannot be overstated! All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend choosing Patrick Watson as your astrologer, and I look forward to pursuing consultations with him again in the future.read more

I've been sitting on the fence about getting an astrological consultation for a while, until I discovered Patrick and... Big Fat Astro. I knew that if I was ever going to get a reading it had to be with an astrologer that practiced and worked with the Hellenistic techniques - the most accurate techniques I believe are around today in the astrological world -. Needless to say, Patrick is a true pro at it. He's thorough in his explanations, knowledgeble and funny at the same time, and he doesn't leave any stone unturned when you ask specific questions. I've appreciated his bluntness and honesty regarding unfavorable placements, his insight into the areas of life in which they fall and his imput on the brighter side of my chart. Gotta appreciate an astrologer that doesn't sugarcoat things and analizes everything to the minor detail. Overall, I couldn't have been more satisfied than this. I definitely look forward to further consultations as I dig deeper into my astrological studies.
(He was also super nice to me, a non english speaker. So that's a plus.)read more

This was an interesting, insightful reading with one of today’s leading practitioners of ancient Hellenistic Astrology.... Patrick was professional, funny, and sensitive to the topics of our discussion. Very accurate description of my past and my future goals, fascinating discussion overall. He gives you a great perspective on your life and how it unravels by pinpointing period in your past that will echo through today (and tomorrow!). Fantastic reading.read more

Having a rectification chart done with Patrick availed me the opportunity to connect deeply with the aspects of my... chart. His ability to discern multiple levels of information and layer them within the context of the the individual is amazing. I have never resonated with my astrology chart as much as I do now. I have great confidence in the result of his work on my chart as it speaks to the events in my life and who I am. So much makes sense now.read more

I stumbled on one of Patrick Watson’s videos about a year ago, and even though astrology is one of my long-running... hobbies, I don't usually watch astrology videos. But with a name like bigfatastro, I just had to check it out. So I watched the first video...and that was it! I thought, finally an astrologer with a practical approach, who really knows their stuff, and he has a personality too! I was hooked - watched the videos, read the blog; all of which I found all to be super interesting and in my opinion pretty funny. I soaked up all the info that he had to offer, and as I started learning more about the techniques he uses, I thought more about possibly getting a reading. I was at first a little nervous to do so, since this is not something I do often, and I didn’t really know what to expect, but I found that...
Patrick Watson is exceptional! I walked away from our session with a better sense of who I am as well as my direction in life. He answered all my questions with the utmost kindness and respect, and went above and beyond in addressing my concerns in the most helpful way. He expresses a deep knowledge and understanding not only of the field of astrology, and a person’s chart, but the person themselves. I really enjoyed my reading and felt that I learned so much in just 1 hour. I couldn’t have asked for a better astrologer to read my chart! Would do again 10/10!
Tl, dr: If you’re thinking about doing a reading with Patrick, go for it! You won’t be disappointed!read more

I was referred to Patrick for a reading, because I was specifically interested in a fusion of chart-reading and... zodiacal releasing. He provided so much information and I feel not only INCREDIBLY pleased with my reading, but that I sincerely have been equipped with so much more knowledge about astrology, my own life and what to expect in the upcoming years. He also helped me realize how my passions and interests appear in my chart, and gave me advice on how to anticipate incorporating passion/purpose and find a career. THANKS SO MUCH, PATRICK! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!read more

It is rare in life to meet someone with a keen intellect, sensitive interpersonal communication, a wellspring of... ever-expanding knowledge, and a hilarious sense of humor. When this person is an astrologer, schooled by skilled astrologers such as Chris Brennan and Nick Dagan Best, I feel very fortunate to have happened upon him.
I’ve been attracted to astrology for about 30 years, mostly via friends in the field. I had a reading yesterday with Patrick, and it was one of the most helpful, thorough and on-target readings of my life. I’ve only recently found out about zodiacal releasing, a practice that comes from traditional astrology, which assists the native in understanding her past life chapters as well as the upcoming one(s).
Patrick is not just skilled at chart interpretation; he thinks like a scientist, continually working out techniques that emerged from recent translations, which, in my opinion, always contain an interpretive dimension, particularly 2,000 years beyond the writing of the text and the culture within which the text was produced.
I highly recommend Patrick. He is quite gifted and can do many types of readings.read more

Patrick is a master at chart readings. His reading for me was profound and answered many questions I had about trends... and motifs in my life. It’s also great to be forewarned about issues that may arise when you are uncertain about how the course of events may unfold. Patrick is an astute practitioner, with a great deal of wisdom, maturity, insight and great kindness. If you’re studying astrology, you’ll get a reading and a lesson for the price of one. That’s amazing value.read more
