Integrated Map of the Person.
A document written about you: how you are made, your pace, what weighs on you and what tends to slip past you.

Written in English
I write your Map in English, and the interpretation session is held in English too.
Why
There are things in us we have been doing for so long that we no longer see them. The way we say yes too quickly, the way we hold ourselves back, the way we need to be doing something whenever we get anxious. The Integrated Map is a document written slowly, to be read slowly, about that way of being made that we almost never stop to look at.
I cross four readings: astrology, Human Design, numerology and psychology. The systems stay backstage. What reaches your hands is a text with your name on it, about how you are made, your pace, the traps you tend to fall into and the resources you already have, including the ones you do not recognise as yours.
“
You have grown so used to the pressure that you no longer read it as a warning, and you carry on.
this is how a Reminder Map sounds
What you receive
What comes inside the Map.
The Reminder Map
One A4 page, written for you
A single page. The essentials of the Map in a few sentences, written to you directly, to leave somewhere you will see it on the days you need reminding.
The interpretation session
45 minutes to an hour, online or in Cascais
Booked once the Map is written. I read it with you and explain what is there, before you receive it. Included in the € 250 option.
How it works
From beginning to end, at your pace.
01
You order and pay
You pay online and receive the link to the questionnaire. If you are unsure, write to me first and we will see whether this is the moment.
02
You fill in the questionnaire
About twenty minutes. Birth details (date, time, place) and a few open questions. Until you send it, you can cancel and get everything back.
03
I write your Map
Up to a month. It is deliberately more time than it needs, so the text comes out dense and ordered rather than rushed. If you are in a hurry, say so, and we will see what is possible.
04
We read it together
In the option with a session, we book it once the Map is ready, online or in Cascais. I read it with you and explain what is there.
05
You receive it
The Map and the Reminder Map arrive by email, so you can come back to them at your own pace.
Who this is for
- Adults, 18 and over, with enough questions to want to look inward without rushing.
- Anyone who feels that life is running ahead of their capacity to digest it.
- Anyone who comes out of curiosity, out of a wish to know themselves, or because there is a big stretch ahead and they want to read it with more time.
- Anyone who would rather have a long text than a quick answer.
When it is better to wait, or to look elsewhere
- If you are in crisis, or close to it, what is needed first is clinical care. A document does not do that work.
- If you are looking for the right answer to a specific question with a deadline, the Map does not work as quick advice. It asks for time to read.
- If what you are after is prediction, compatible star signs or horoscopes, this is not the document.
- If you are under 18, there are Maps of their own for babies, children and teenagers.
None of this is a psychology appointment, a psychological assessment or psychotherapy. No diagnoses are made, and it does not replace clinical care. If that is what you need right now, the right path is a psychologist or a doctor. If, as we talk, it seems to me that this is the case, I will say so plainly and, if you want, point you to someone.
If you are in crisis or at risk, do not wait for me: in Portugal, call SNS 24, 808 24 24 24, or 112.
If you are unsure, write to me first and we will see whether this is the moment. I would rather you waited than bought at the wrong moment. Write to marta@serpaciente.pt.

Questions you might have.
The interpretation session, how it works +
Once the Map is written, I write to you so we can book the session, 45 minutes to an hour, online or in Cascais. I read the document with you, explain what is there and answer whatever the reading brings up. After the session, I send you the Map and the Reminder Map by email.
Do I need the exact time I was born? +
The more exact, the better. A rounded hour gives a reasonable reading; the exact minute sharpens the astrological part. If you do not know it, you can request it from the Portuguese civil registry, at a cost of € 10. It is not a blocker, but the closer to the real time, the more useful it is.
Does this replace a psychology appointment? +
No. The Map is an authored document, written once, for you to read and come back to. It is not a psychological assessment, it makes no diagnosis and it does not replace clinical care. If what you need right now is care, the right path is to find a psychologist or a doctor.
How long does it take to arrive? +
Up to a month after you send the questionnaire. The time is deliberate, so the text comes out as it should. If you are in a hurry, write to me before ordering and we will see what is possible.
Do I get the Map on paper? +
The usual delivery is digital, as a PDF. If you would like the Map printed, write to me and I will send you a quote, which depends on the number of pages and on postage.
What if I do not recognise myself in what it says? +
It happens, and it is part of it. The Map is a starting point for a conversation, not a conclusion. If something feels off, you write to me saying what was left out or what sounded wrong. The reading is yours.
Can I talk to you before deciding? +
You can. Write to me through the contact form or on Instagram, tell me what brings you here and we will see whether this is the moment. I would rather you waited than bought at the wrong moment.
Can I give one to someone? +
You can, and you do not need to know any of their details. You receive a document to hand over, and they answer the questionnaire whenever they want. It is explained on serpaciente.pt/en/gift.
Can I ask for a refund? +
You have 14 days to withdraw, without explaining why: an email is enough. As long as you have not sent the questionnaire I have not started anything, and I refund everything. If you asked me to start straight away and I have already begun, you pay only the part proportional to what is done. If you asked for a printed version and it arrives with a printing fault, or goes missing in the post, it is printed and sent again at no cost.
What language is it written in? +
In English. I write your Map in English and hold the interpretation session in English. The questionnaires are in English too. If you would rather have it in Portuguese, write to me before ordering.
