I’m hoping that If you’ve had a reading with a professional
astrologer before, you’ll recognise the positive impact astrology
reading can have – it’s an incredible tool which can help us to
work towards becoming the best versions of ourselves in life.
Astrology can raise our self awareness and and can make make sense
of some of the chaos in life.
However, believe it or not there are occasions where astrology, and
it's misuse can do more harm than good.
I am recording a few episodes on what happens when people abuse
their position of power during a reading, but there is a sense of
responsibility of the person having their chart read.
Firstly (and this is something that everyone learning astrology
will experience) there are inexperienced astrologers, or those who
are still learning who aren’t able to articulate the symbolism
properly.
That’s not to say we shouldn’t be practising as an aspiring
astrologer, BUT it is very important that we are careful with the
way we choose our words.
I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve had someone tell me very
basic interpretations for my chart which have sounded very scary to
me. Words can leave a lasting impression, they can linger in the
mind and affect our decision making processes, they can alter the
course of the future by inhibiting that persons ability to have
faith in following a path they might have previously wanted to
tread.
Then there are claims which can scare people completely
unnecessarily, saying things like they can see how and when someone
will die, for example.
Or in my case, having someone tell me that I will suffer
miscarriages in pregnancy – honestly, I don’t know how certain
people can see these outcomes in the chart? I know which aspects of
my chart they are talking about, but they are taking very literal
interpretations and it's as though they are making "predictions" to
make themselves seem all-seeing and all-powerful.
It amazes me that people like to share scary and threatening
information. If you wouldn’t tell your nearest and dearest
something like that, then don’t volunteer this information someone
seeking your help!
Accepting free readings from people claiming to be expert
astrologers is another thing I advise you to avoid! Recognise that
when something seems too good to be true, it probably is!
No one should be contacting you to chase you for readings, or
asking you for money. All the best astrologers are credible and
wouldn’t chase business. In fact they might even have a waiting
list because they really are the real deal and their clients can
vouch for this.
There are many ways to avoid having a bad experience and I cover a
few in this episode. However, the main thing I would tell most
people is that you should be selective about who you allow to read
your chart. You shouldn’t feel pressured and you shouldn’t allow
someone who is pestering you to read your chart either.
You can always ask for your astrologers credentials before booking
in with them and you can also do a little bit of research about
them online first.
I hope this episode enlightens you to the harm astrology can do and
helps you to realise that there are ways to protect yourself from
bad practicse and ensure that you only have helpful exchanges with
astrologers who take on a position of power during your
readings.
