My Life as an Astrologer

I was fifteen years old when I first heard about Astrology on a Television Program called "Divorce Court." The Plaintiff discovered that she married a man with the wrong Astrological Sign and decided to divorce him. I picked up an American Astrology Program and I was immediately hooked.

I soon discovered that whoever wrote that script in Divorce Court didn’t know zip about Astrology. On the surface, Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) should get together with Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) and Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) should get together with Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius). However, the Sun sign determined by the date of birth is only the surface. On a deeper level, the Sun Sign should be compared to the Moon Sign. It is also important to look at Venus, Mars, the Seventh House and the ruling planet of the Seventh House.

For Example, a Man with a Cancer Sun and a Leo Moon would do well with a woman with a Libra Sun and a Taurus Moon. If the planets are all wrong, does that mean that they should not get together. If there is an attraction there is something going on Astro Campus. There is no perfect relationship but understanding the differences can give a person insight on the best approach to make the relationship work.

The location of the Sun in a Chart gives a clue of where a person shines. Saturn indicates the life challenges that a person faces. My Sun and Saturn are both in the third house of communications. Thus where I shine and where I am challenged are in the arena. I grew up with a significant hearing and speaking disability. This forced me into an isolated existence as a . Meanwhile, I read a lot, wrote poetry and journalized. I wrote letters to the President of the United States and the editor in various newspapers. I was quite talented with the written word. My challenge was spoken communication but I shined in written communication.

I was unpopular in School but quickly learned that my peers wanted to know about themselves and particularly the romantic interest in their lives. They would ask me about Astrology and how it related to them. I was no longer alone. I had something to offer the community. My passion for Astrology has grown and progressed.

I actually became involved in Drama and Public Speaking in High School. I went from being a straight "D" student to an Honor Roll Student. Later I acquired hearing aids and joined Toast Masters. My Sun and Saturn have learned to work together. Now I am a Professional Astrologer and life is interesting.

Thank you for sharing that. We seem to go through a lot as children. The thing I think about being a child is that we have resilience.

You recognized at an early "age", what was "wrong" within your Life and you proceeded to "fix" it. You "validated" yourself, by learning and embracing Astrology. I love the subject personally. I love reading about it and could spend hrs. doing that. I don't feel I was particularly gifted at it tho.

I know that my sign is a good one, highly psychic. Another woman I met once told me....I could be a triple psychic, whatever that meant.

I think you showed everyone that you could over-come.

Wonderful story and so glad that you were able to break out of your shell.

I've always had an interest in astrology as well. What I find particularly interesting is that anyone puts any faith in it. Every horoscope I've ever had done on me is so general as to be utterly meaningless.

Pisces is a Water sign - You also have Scorpio in your chart which is another Water Sign. To find indications of Psychic Abilities - Water is what to look for.

I've been told that Astrologers don't have to have Psychic Abilities but gain them by doing the charts.

Star,
Ever since I arrived in SFF I have found you to be an interesting Lady. Your story is very inspirational. You are an "overcomer".

I have never had much interest in Astrology as a "fortune telling" kind of thing. But would be interested in knowing what my areas of challenge are and where I might shine. If astrology could give me clues that would help me build a more satisfying life that would be wonderful. How would I go about learning more?
