If you don’t want to get confused in life, stop hopping from one astrologer to another and look for one who can give you advice that is practical and not just gentle advice shrouded in illusions.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: Several days
Here's How:
- Look for an astrologer who can offer alternatives that improve the client's life experiences.
- An ideal astrologer should be willing to discuss frankly with you the type and amount of astrological education and training he has had, the total number of years of practice, and the intensity of involvement.
- Make sure the person is trained in psychology, which indicates his seriousness about his work.
- He should have the ability to refer the clients to other professionals (such as clinical psychologists) because of the high probability of receiving clients with difficulties that require their services.
- When making the natal chart the counselor must be astute and perceptive enough to allow the client to know how he has manifested their particular chart.
- Consider favorably those practitioners who have really had enough experience with the 'trials and tribulations' of life.
- Remember: One who depends on his astrological expertise for his principal livelihood is more likely to be seriously interested in really helping you.
- Be especially suspicious of those astrologers who are open to 'bargains'.
- Try not to choose one who is not a close friend, or become too close or intimate for the person might get biased.
- You should be guided by whether you feel more at ease in frank discussions with a member of your own or one of the opposite sex.
- You are perhaps better off if your astrologer is local. An adviser who is out of reach when needed may not be of full value to the client.
- Choosing an astrologer who is recommended by a trusted friend, one who knows from personal experience a practitioner's 'track record,' is by far your best guide to selecting your personal astrologer.
Tips:
- There are a number of ways you can find an astrologer. The Yellow Pages in major cities will list astrologers under that heading.
- Most metaphysical bookstores and some jewelry shops have a 'staff' astrologer or consulting astrologer who provides astrological services.
- There are bodies that license astrologers. Look for a certified astrologer.
