Q How can astrology be of use to me?

A There are many ways in which astrology is of use to individuals. The greatest gift is understanding which, with development becomes wisdom about self and others.

Understanding what latent talent you possess enables you to tap in and maximise your potential. Effective chart interpretation allows for you to understand your predisposition to certain behaviours and attitudes, both effective and ineffective giving you choice on what… The general population of people are oblivious about what they could become with focus and effort.

Q What can you do a horoscope for?

A You can do a horoscope for anything provided you have the date, place and most importantly the time, some examples are: starting a business, significant business deals, any relationships from business partners to marriage partners. The relationship between parents and children, political events, earth events, such as Sept 11th!

Q What is the difference between what astrologers do and what you read in the paper?

A Most professional astrologers would prefer to personalise the horoscope and the daily horoscopes are very general and will only apply to a few.
My tip is read it and if its good, enjoy, if it's not say it's a load of rubbish and wonder how the writer came up with such stuff!

Q Is there any connection between Eastern and Western Astrology?

A Eastern and Western astrology are designed to reflect the culture and values that reside within that social structure. Both are valid. I have applied western astrology to an Asian person and visa versa and there does seem to be considerable overlap in some areas.

Q Is astrology a spiritual discipline?

A I believe so. Astrology's essence is about understanding the greater meaning and or purpose of our existence. To me that has spiritual connotations. The horoscope is just one discipline that enables this to happen. However, there are many other ways available to the initiate on a spiritual path, all of which provide insight and guidance. I think astrologers can be used specifically with regards to timing. No other discipline will give that to you.

Q Is Astrology in anyway connected to God? Do you think he has his own personal astrologist in Heaven? Or do you think he does not need it because he created the stars and planets?

A It is my belief that the universe was created by something divine. He/she may be called God, Budda, Allah, The Divine or something else. I don't know the answer to that yet I believe there is more to it than we know or understand. I don't think he/she needs an astrologer as The Divine is all knowing.

Q Is it wrong in the eyes of a Christian to believe in Astrology. I consider myself a Christian but have been told I should not believe in such things as Astrology or Angel Cards etc. by many people over many years. I do not listen to them, but it would be nice to have an educated answer for them. Hope you can answer my questions.

A This is a really good question as it comes up so often. My understanding is that most western traditional religions don't like their flock to seek the services of an astrologer and quote the bible to reinforce this position.
It is my belief that a wheel has many spokes and they all lead to the center. So I think we find our path or develop greater understanding in different ways. What's interesting, is that its mainly religions that preach fire and brimstone. So much for tolerance! My personal experience of religion has not included respect or tolerance for others, which begs the following questions to be answered: Is it the religion per se or the people practicing the religion that conduct themselves in this way.

I think your answer is, that one of astrology's roles it to teach respect for self, understanding of difference, tolerance and acceptance of others. In my opinion, given the current spiritual state of the globe, religious as well as political leaders could do well to embrace this philosophy and stop fighting in the name of their God...who ever he/she represents.

Q What do you think of the Cloned babies? Will they be just like their mothers?

A Well we don't know for sure if these babies exist. Science needs proof and so do I. However if such a child has been born, from an astrological perspective, it will be different than its mother. It will have a different horoscope, although I would expect to see similar astrological patterns as these are typically passed down like genes. These patterns may determine psychological pre disposition so drives and motivation may be similar however, its environment will be different, and astrology does acknowledge this. As many have said the nuture /nature debate might finally be answered! I will look forward to hearing more myself.

Q Can you do a Business Horoscope? Can you recruit staff using astrology?

A Yes. A business will have its own identity, planetry patterns and essence. It will have its areas of great strength and challenging aspects. It will go through cycles and it is important to what they are as to know how to handle these to see how they might be navigated.

You can recruit staff using astrology. I had a friend, a pshychologist, and we used to play your science or mine? She thought I did pretty well to be able to explain things like preferred communication style, predisposition to motivation levels and the impact of the candidates value system could influence outcomes:all from the birth data!

Q How is it possible that the stars have an effect on each other?

A There is no scientific explanation for this effect yet I have always believed that resonance is the way in which this occurs. If 4 tuning forks are placed in a room and one is activated the others 'somehow' start to resonate as well. I think the same applies to planets.

Q How do the stars control my life?

A They don't? You do! The issue of fate and free will is always debated, even amongst astrologers. What is of significance is that the planets and luminaries (Sun and Moon) reflect events on earth not the other way around!
