Choosing An Astrologer – Ann Clark

Ann Clark of the Learning Curve on the Ecliptic has generously provided the following post.

HOW TO CHOOSE AN ASTROLOGER

Lauren Bacall’s famous line to Bogart: “You know how to whistle, don’t you, Steve? Just put your lips together, and blow,” sounds good. It’s catchy, but it doesn’t always work. The astrological equivalent would be to stick a pin in a magazine page filled with astrologers’ advertisements, then invest your hard earned cash with the impaled astrologer. If you were very lucky that might, just might, work.

There are lots of variables and imponderables when choosing an astrologer, just as there are in learning to whistle well. A little extra effort will make disappointment far less likely.

First consideration: how much money are you able or willing to invest? Second: what kind of advice and insight are you looking for? Third and in some ways most important of all: how best to find someone on your own wavelength, who talks your language – not only literally, but metaphorically.

If money is no object, you have the option of choosing a consultation with an internationally famous astrologer. You might find there’s a long waiting list though. And, unless the third requirement is fulfilled you might well waste your investment. What a disappointment it would be to find that the person sitting opposite you, or on the end of the phone, is speaking in terms and style you neither understand, relate to, nor enjoy.

To discover whether a particular astrologer is on your wavelength: read, read and read – anything and everything you can find that he or she has written, or in the case of video input, spoken.

If you are seeking an answer to a specific question, an horary astrologer is the one you need. Financial matters call for an expert in financial astrology. Personal and relationship problems are the domain of most astrologers un-connected with those specialist ranges. Astrologers’ websites and adverts will almost always specify their area of expertise.

With a modest amount of cash available, there’s plenty of choice in all areas. Most astrologers who offer a service keep a website regularly updated, these sites often contain a selection of the astrologers’ own articles, from which you can detect their general style. Google is your best friend in this exercise. Those astrology bloggers who are also professional astrologers provide an excellent source to discover a professional to whom you can easily relate. These astrologers write regularly on a variety of topics. Here is the best chance of getting to know an astrologer before investing your money.

For those seriously strapped for cash – many of us these days – some astrologers might be willing to do a brief report or answer a question, for a small donation of your choosing. Otherwise, a reasonably priced computer produced report on your natal chart is a quick and economical solution. These do vary in quality, but many offer a lot of useful information, especially to a person fairly new to astrology. It’s helpful to establish whether the astrologer in question has actually written the data for their computer reports, or if it has been obtained from commercially available software. I’m not saying the latter is bad, just that the former is way, way better, and worth any extra cost.

Some people are cynical about computer produced reports, I share the doubt in certain circumstances. There are charlatans in astrology, as in all spheres of life. Again, research via the Internet will illuminate the genuine astrologers, and show up money-making enterprises with no expertise to back them up. Genuine astrologers will answer queries via e-mail, message board or comment thread. Genuine astrologers will almost always have some of their own written material available for inspection.

If you have a little knowledge of astrology yourself, catching a look at an astrologer’s own natal chart, sometimes available in their books or websites, might give a hint of their wavelength. Sun and/or Moon and/or Mercury compatible with your own would be helpful indications.

Those who’ve had an interest in astrology for several years could probably take a stab at interpreting their own natal charts. I find this a very useful exercise, and it helps in relating to any report produced by a professional. In the case of a specific problem or question though, consulting a professional from the outset is preferable, they can be totally objective, while you are too close to the matter which troubles you.

In a nutshell then, first and foremost invest time and effort in identifying an astrologer who appears to be on your wavelength, only then invest cash, as much as you can easily afford, in a consultation or report. Good luck!

The History Of Western Astrology – Video

I recently came across this gem of a video by Chris Brennan.

Although the video is intended as a very short history (under 10 minutes due to YouTube time restrictions) of astrology, I found it raising some very interesting questions:

synchronicity versus causality – Does the movement of the planets cause certain events? This causality view is out of favor today by astrologers. However, scientists are beginning to take seriously the idea that behavior may be slightly different during a full moon.

What is the proper role of astrology? Divination, Natal Readings. Today’s astrology is some ways is very different than that which was practiced long ago. Has today’s astrology taken the right path?

I love the video and am nominating Chris Brennan’s “The History Of Western Astrology” for inclusion on my list of the 10 best astrology videos of all time. His website is http://horoscopicastrologyblog.com/about/

Watch & Enjoy

Choosing An Astrologer Video: Randall Curtis

Randall Curtis has the distinction of being the first Astrologer to submit a video to Sign Show. We are eternally grateful. Before I forget, you can get in touch with Randall at http://www.skysage.com

Randall has been doing astrology for many years. So we asked him to put together a video on choosing an astrologer.

He recommends calling the potential astrologer and having a background conversation with them before committing to the reading. Not all astrologers are alike, and they have different strengths. Some are great at relationships and some are better at helping you make the right decision at the critical point in your life.

Once a couple came to Randall asking advice on whether they should buy a house. Randall’s reading was not positive. Find out what happened to the house!

The initial audio on the video is not great. It gets better after about a minute. Please stick with the video, it will be worth it.

What is Sign Show . TV ?

Sign Show is a dating game show, where three women compete to win a date by applying their knowledge of astrology. The first women to correctly guess the male contestant’s zodiac sign wins a date but .  .

The winning female contestant is given the choice between going a date with the guy or a mystery man. The show’s astrologist encourages the choice of the mystery man by suggesting a relationship with the male contestant would be ill fated and dating the mystery man would be “heavenly”.
