Someone bought the man an email consultation. He doesn’t know any astrology and he asked for info. I figure others are curious, so…

“…As for how these things go, I can discern all kinds of things from your chart so it’s a matter of knowing what would be most helpful for you.  For example, some people want to know time frames. When do things ease? Other people want strategies for coping, tactics and the like.  Others look for meaning in their experience, some perspective that will allow them to transcend their pain. Other want to focus on one area, like love, or they may have some burning question that has dogged them for years. Any or all of these types things can be addressed.

As for form, I ask you what’s on your mind, you tell me and I take it from there. Usually there is time for a dialogue but if you get into something deep and complex, I may use all the time to address it adequately. The goal here is that whatever happens, it works for you…”

Are you on the fence about hiring an astrologer?

People frequently ask about giving astrology consultations as gifts.  First, I don’t think it is a good idea if the person is not interested in astrology. This is just a general fact. You want to get someone something they want but if they are interested in astrology, it’s great gift. People LOVE getting information that is specific to themselves, especially when they don’t have to pay!

With Saturn transiting my natal Mercury in Libra, I have begun to define my bias.  With Mercury in Libra, I have a fair mind. I can readily see another person’s view of things but this I still have personal bias and I am finding great value in being upfront about it.

You may have noticed, Nota, Dixie and Satori have become more active and visible on the blog.  As you get to know them better, I hope you’ll consider consulting with one of them as each of them give their all to their clients.

satori has been studying astrology for 9 years.  She’s a personal friend, we talk several times a week and she really knows her stuff.  She is most interested in career questions, relationships questions, both compatibility (synastry) and the nature of the relationship (composite).  She likes to work with Chiron and Juno in terms of relationships and career and she’s interested in questions concerning mental health issues and personality disorders.

In some cases I work with a client over a number of months or years. In these cases, I get to know the circumstances of their lives to a deeper degree; I better understand their character and they character of the people in their lives.

For example someone may contact me, enraged with their husband but time proves he’s actually a good man and there’s been some mis-communication or something.  Over the months the person may become upset with their husband again and again because it is a pattern in the relationship but I can tell by his responses that shared with me that the woman is dealing with a man who loves her and so the relationship is sustained and things improve. Occasionally I am presented with a true conundrum, like yesterday.

Yesterday, one of my regular clients told me she’d seen another astrologer.  She was gifted a consultation with a man who’d be considered high end in this field. She got nothing out of this and I was not surprised.

I have a client today, her chart is super complex as is her situation. It’s a real challenge to get a lasso ’round a chart like this and communicate clearly in a way that will help. I see a chart like this and think to myself, I’ve just got to do it.

Contemplating how I’m going to manage this morning, it occurred to me that my chart is not at all complex nor is my life complicated.  I never realized how fortunate I am on this front until today.  What about you?

Is your chart complex and your life complicated? Can you outline why – the astrology?

“Dear Elsa, I had an astrology reading sometime last year, and the astrologer was very specific in terms of my relationship outlook (she even mentioned that the person I would end up marrying would be British). Now, can astrology determine something like this? I would think that a person would have some choice in terms of who they would marry, and astrology wouldn’t give something so exact like this. Just wondering what your thoughts on something like this are, and whether someone giving advice is beneficial or harmful…”
