I guess what makes a good astrologer would vary depending on what sort of astrology the study or are good at.

But being grounded is *totally* essential. No “woo-woo” new agers who won’t make a move without an ephemeris.

And Aquarian energy is traditionally considered good for an astrologer. But I am totally biased about that.

I think the answer would be different for each person/client/student, Elsa.

I think the ability to communicate well, in writing, speech or both is as essential as vast technical astro knowledge experience. But then, what is good communication for one person doesn’t always work as well for another.

I suppose the ability to communicate on several levels might cover it. That takes empathy too, sufficient to sense how best to communicate with each person.

I have noticed that usually when you meet someone his/her chart is the reflection of your own spirit at that moment.

That is why you usually meet people first of all in order to learn about yourself.

Today I had 2 consults and both girls had the same problem…as I.

I didn’t look at their chart. I just asked myself: how do I feel, what am I thinking about right now, what is my problem right now then I talked to them as if I was talking to myself. It worked.

For example one had a lot of expenses due to many weddings this summer: exactly as I.

I finally looked at their chart: it was reflecting my spirit at that moment.

This means that being a psychic is easier than being a good astrologer: ask yourself how you can be helped and then you will be able to help other people.

Well this is my point of view:)
