In review of this article, it clearly is just to long. So I thought it might be interesting to try to summarize up front some key points. First, it is always fascinating when an astrologer can grasp so quickly the issues in an individuals life following a review of your natal chart. I'm not sure people care too much about acquiring a personal "reading", but when the Astrologer can zero in on hot issues that are important, and people respond...that's empowering. Second, when I can create a time line, taken from Astrological data, that really reflects one's life, it gets really interesting when that time line transitions from the past to the future. Just think, if we are in aggreement for past events, than most likely the same methods will prove to be realistic for future dates. With such a tool, one feels like they can participant in their destiny. Those Astrological symbols become alive and the individual can interact with those archetypes and with their personal time. Our mind has a great deal of power to create, given tools that assist that creative process enables us to be participants rather than just spectators. This is what a power consultation is about!

The horoscope tells a story. Now it’s important that you realize that this is really not your story, but amazingly like your story. Sometimes it can amazingly parallel you life in many ways. When we look at our horoscopes, we need to take that which is useful and put it in our pocket. Take that information home, use it as needed. Those parts that just don’t seem to fit, we are not to worry about. Sometimes, given a little time, those items are understoond and meaningful. Ultimately we will find that all the bits fit! In time our horoscopes can reveal new and deeper layers.

There are numerous types of measurements used in Astrology. One of the most interesting measurements is the use of aspects. Aspects are geometric angles between planets. The distances in the angles is measured by degrees and the number of degrees determines the type of aspect. Different aspects over the years have have become associated with different meanings. The meanings acquire tradition, but over time even traditional interpretations are modified. Today psychological insight has added depth to the meaning of most aspects. So when I do research for an individual and prepare for a consultation, I may use words like “indicates” or “suggests", the use of these words may refer to the interpretation of an aspect. Usually I prefer to avoid jargon in a consultation. I've done the homework, and the client should have a consultation that is clear and understood.
