“I am given the information that best serves the true need of the client at that point in their life so sometimes the focus is different than what someone expects. I find the best readings are those where people come curious and open with no preconceived ideas of what to expect in a reading. The energy of allowing the reading to unfold brings rich material, and more layers to emerge for the reading. The more open the client, the deeper the reading.” http://www.katherineo.squarespace.com/when-to-choose-a-reading/

What she said! :-)
Tuesday, November 29th, 2005Life: Confidence
Monday, November 28th, 2005When you feel good about yourself, you focus on the goal or interest or how people understand you. When you don’t feel good about yourself, you focus on how people perceive you. Your focus shifts depending on the level of confidence. Self conscious is not confidence.

The Many Faces of Astrology: Christine Jette
Saturday, November 26th, 2005To take astrology one step further, specialized fields of study, called applications, are entire books and web sites unto themselves. Examples of applied astrology include:
Horary Astrology–Casting a chart for the exact time a question is asked. Based on the idea that the positions of the planets at the moment of asking can help answer the question because there is a sympathy between the cosmos and the human mind.
Astro-Psychology–The counseling aspects of astrology used to help with the challenging, or troublesome, areas of life. Much like psychotherapy or psychology. Using astrological information as a tool for psychological insight.
Medical Astrology–Using the birth chart to obtain information about health, illness and wellness. Especially looks at diseases and their causes through horoscope pattern, psychic imbalances and probable timing through planetary transits.
Mundane Astrology–Assesses and forecasts world events, political movements, national occurrences and cultural trends according to the planetary cycles.
Vocational Astrology–Applies the information in a birth chart to the study of career. It reveals the nature of a person’s vocational needs and loves. Because vocational astrology explores an individual’s “inner calling”, it can produce a better vision of career direction and decrease job frustration.
Synastry–The astrology of relationships. Learning how the birth charts of specific people interact to better understand the dynamics of their relationship.
Electional Astrology–The timing of events. Studying transits to learn favorable times to initiate certain events or take action. By its nature, electional astrology also pinpoints the times to wait for a better day.
Karmic Astrology–Emphasizes spiritual evolution in this life, and lives yet to come, based on past life information. Explores karmic history, values and beliefs brought into this life, and life lessons to improve the quality of life now. Some astrologers refer to this application as Esoteric Astrology.
And the above list is only a sampling. There are other applications! As I wrote earlier, the study of astrology is the pursuit of a lifetime–or two.
