Seeking Guidance on [insert need here]? There's an Astrologer for That!

If you've ever found yourself in an endless loop while trying to make a very important decision about your life, you're not alone. The good news is that an astrologer might be able to help you in your decision making process. An ethical astrologer will not tell you what to do but they will provide enough information to help you make a confident decision for yourself.

There are nearly as many astrology specialties as there are questions one could think up, and they're going to still fall into one of the 12 categories associated with the 12 areas of life that correspond with the birth chart houses.

For example, some astrologers specialize in offering astrology readings for people's pets. Others specialize in mundane astrology--the overall meaning of an astronomical event and how the even shows up in everyday life. There are astrologers who specialize in relocation astrology or financial astrology, or medical astrology, romantic relationships, or helping a certain age demographic such as myself.

How is an astrologer able to potentially speak to whatever challenge you might be experiencing at the moment? Glad you asked! As with most consultative services, the information an astrologer provides their client is as good as the data the client presents. The date, time and location of birth of the person being read are the most essential data an astrologer needs to provide a consultation (also referred to as a 'reading').

Generally speaking, an astrologer would assess a client's question by taking a comprehensive review of the client's birth chart, cast from the birth data provided, where each area of life is divided into 12 sections like slices of a pie. Because everything is connected, just like the song of 'Dem Bones', one area of the life may be impacted directly, and the astrologer will identify this area as well as the areas that might be indirectly affected based on the location of the moving planets for the individual in question.

What makes for a good reading even if the information is not great news at first, is that both the client and astrologer have an open mind, heart and a listening ear, with the knowledge that nothing is set in stone and the perspective that there are no victims in the end. Seek your specialty with confidence and know that whatever the guidance is you seek, there's an astrologer for that!
