Finding a Professional Birth Chart Reading
“The weakest link in astrology is the astrologer.” – Rob Hand
You should make constant reference to this statement during your reading because finding professional birth chart reading can be very difficult. The world of astrology is full of charlatans, grifters and know-nothings. Astrological knowledge has never been more accessible, but this glut of availability hasn’t included high quality information by knowledgeable and talented astrologers.
Astrology can do a lot. It can answer specific questions using only the time the question was asked. It can choose an astrologically auspicious time to embark on things as disparate as setting a cornerstone on a building, weddings, new business ventures and when to try to conceive children. It can explain and predict issues in your life and in the world of current events. But for any of these things to be possible, you need an expert astrologer.
The Weakest Link in Astrology is the Astrologer
A professional astrologer who reads your birth chart must be able to wield the power of astrology to, at the very least, give you a reading that is specific to you and accurate about you and your situation.
The two things you should be looking for in an astrologer are specificity and accuracy. The things the astrologer tells you should leave no doubt in your mind that you are the subject of the reading. A good astrologer is someone who can speak specifically and relevantly about you, and in regard to the conditions that surround your life.
- If the birth chart reading gets too general and hazy, or if you find yourself feeling confused, more than likely you have found a weak link.
- If many of the things being said don’t really resonate, or hit home – weak link.
- If you feel like the astrologer could be talking about anyone during your reading – weak link.
- If the astrologer cannot translate what they are looking at to who you are and what is going on in your life – weak link.
This is not to say the astrologer will be 100% accurate, but you must demand they be 100% relevant. Although you may be looking to astrology to know more about yourself, the astrologer should be able to confirm at least what you already know, and be able to give you information about other aspects of your life as well. Demand rigor from the astrologer who reads for you. It will help the art of astrology.
Tips for Finding the Right Astrologer
- When watching videos, look for astrologers who use chart examples to show their reading ability. The best way to know if an astrologer can read a chart is to observe them reading one.
- Join astrology forums and take note of the most competent astrologers there. Many of them will be professional astrologers using the forum to practice and advertise their skills.
- Pay attention to information you read and hear beyond how it resonates with you. Try not to take astrological pronouncements at face value.
- Contact astrologers to ask about the logic behind their interpretations, especially if they say something that scares or worries you. Many astrologers are instilling fear over things like the 18th degree, which is completely unfounded. Demand receipts.
