Astrology as a Business
It took me years to figure this out and to accept it as true:
that there is no single astrological technique that is
necessarily better than others. There are only the
techniques that work or are most useful to you. I used to
believe that there were "good" and "bad" techniques,
and, of course, I had the good ones and some other
astrologers used the bad ones—too bad for them! That
is overstating it, but you get the idea. In other words, I
would try out techniques that others had told me about
in glowing terms, and yet, they did nothing for me;
therefore, I assumed they were of no value. In this
assumption I was mostly wrong.
Again: astrology is an oracle through which the heavens
speak to us, and what they speak about is our life in its
unfolding. Oracles are all about letting the message
come through—not about the particular vehicle or
technique the message comes through. All astrological
techniques are meaningful, to some degree. The only
question to answer is whether a particular technique is
meaningful or useful to you. We cannot (and therefore
we probably should not) judge another astrologer's
technique, even as to whether or not it really works for
him or her. We can only know whether one works for
us—and those are the techniques we will use, the ones
that work for us.
