I am as an astrologer who predicts to help other people understand themselves more clearly. But the birth chart or horoscope suggests strongly that we come into this world, not as 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 life completion.
I think that effective astrologers in consultation are poised on the interface between fate and freewill – 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.
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. 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 30-year periods. 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.
