My experience is that setting their lives in the context of the bigger pictures, and taking guidance from that, is both comforting, supportive and helpful to people who consult me. I’m also very interested in setting clients’ lives in the context of the unfolding stages of the 11-12 year Jupiter cycles and the 29-30 year Saturn cycles, as well as the progressed New Moons, which also occur in thirty-year periods. I look at the relationship between the patterns present in clients’ natal horoscopes and how that relates to the here-and-now patterns of the planets in the heavens. She has known me, my foibles, my weaknesses and my strengths over a very long period of time. I am fortunate in this to have the support of a very experienced astrologer who is also a psychodynamic psychotherapist and writer. To maximise this outcome I feel it is very important to have my work regularly supervised by an experienced and well-qualified colleague. It’s impossible to be completely objective, to avoid making mistakes but what the person takes away should be as much theirs, and as little the astrologers, as is possible. It’s impossible to keep ego completely out of it. The astrologer’s ego should have a minimal influence on the process of reading another person’s horoscope.

I think that effective astrologers in consultation are poised on the interface between fate and free will – on the one hand helping clients to confirm who they are, which they probably already know, if they are honest with themselves but on the other hand helping them to see, and to broaden, the range of possible expression of the energies with which they have been born. There appears to be a dynamic relationship between what you have been given through family physical and psychological inheritance ( the Old Norse word for fate also means genitals!), location, social status, and your own choices in what you do with those givens. What astrologers cannot do is describe the whole range of possibilities of expression which arise from each core character on the stage. But the Birth Chart or Horoscope suggests strongly that we come into this world, not as tabulae rasae ( blank slates) but with certain characters on the stage poised to live out a complex drama as the process of our life unfolds from birth to death. I don’t know what the balance is between fate and free will any more than any one else does. My job as an astrologer is to help other people understand themselves more clearly. It’s a good question – it makes me ‘return to base’, as it were, and set out the basics again, both for the questioner – and for my own benefit. Without you, I’d probably have got bored and moved on to pastures new, on a galaxy far away, long before now.Įvery so often, someone asks me what I think my job as an astrologer is. Thanks so much to all you loyal followers and commenters over the years, both here and over at my Astrology: Questions and Answers Facebook Page. Come to think of it, maybe I DO know what I’m going to be doing…at least for the next while… So – you’ll find me there, and I will of course be continuing to share all kinds of work by astrologers I admire – and dipping into my own archives – on Astrology: Questions and Answers Facebook Page.Īs well as all that, I’ll be taking time out over the summer to put together a collection of my essays, articles and columns with a view to publication sometime in 2020 – and planning a new website. I’ll be keeping out of mischief by continuing writing my columns for Dell Horoscope Magazine, The UK’s Astrological Journal, Infinity Astrological Magazine, and hopefully having more articles appear in The Mountain Astrologer Magazine and Astrodienst in due course. Running my blogs for the last eleven years – and this one since 2013 – has been a blast ( Jupiter Return, anyone? !) but I have now at least temporarily run out of steam. You’d think at my age this mode of being would have subsided. Tomorrow to fresh woods – with The Fool in the Tarotīoth the delight and the pain ( mostly to my nearest and dearest ) of having all those fiery Leo planets squared by third house Jupiter is that I go through periodic spells of boring everyone by theatrically declaiming, hand to forehead, “What am I going to DO with the rest of my life?”
