Would you consult an astrologer?

 


I am thinking of setting up my astrology consultancy service and wanted to have some random opinions. Have you ever consulted (one-to-one) an astrologer? Would you consider seeing one, and if yes, what are the subject that you would like to consult about?

Interesting! you would make a lot of money out of it cos lots of people are into astrology but they're hiding! I've consulted a few astrologers, but the worst experience I had was at the Salon de la voyance few yrs ago, chf 120.- to be told my chart, with every planet related aspect that I knew already about...Oh well! Chart is a good topic, but also a lot of other topics, do it via phone or  by making people come over to your place n let them pay whatever they feel like paying, that works too. good luck to you!

Astrology readings are probably some variation of the Forer Effect - now where is that Derren Brown vid where he exposes character readings


anyway a link to wiki about it

hi


when i studied psychology there was a reference to astrology called after


the founder of the founder of the  Banabum Bailey circus  who had said


"there is a sucker 


born every minute-"


My understanding based on my exploration and studies is that yes, of course


we are influenced by the stars and moon and sun , we are part of the living 


planet but i dont believe there is a possibility to either predict or understand


a human being based on the way the stars are at a certain time of birth


if there is an influence i dont think astrology is a science and i find it very


dangerous to actually try to tell a person what they are like and what they


should do based on a map of the stars


I believe in Tarot card readings i myself conduct for myself mostly because 


Tarot cards help focus  a person on the various issues in their lives however


i never believe for a moment that a card reading or an  astrological map  can 


explain a human being, 


i believe in art and in understanding motivation and in self understanding 


through exploration of the various  art  forms 


I am designing now workshops for that purpose by the way, so good luck to you and to me in our various paths


If you ask, no, i dont think this is very good, i believe in empowering people 


through exploring their minds nad hearts not through giving a set solution 


expecially one not scientifically proven or based


Good luck anyway,  we each have our own path in life!

p.s.


i apologize for the spelling mistake


i googled it and it is called


THE BARNUM EFFECT


The tendency for people to accept a general or vague characterization of


themselves and take them to be accurate


The exemple being astrological readings, psychological tests 


The effect is named after Barnum who founded a circus that he believed should have a little bit of something for everyone.


Just to clarify my earlier post...


Thank you !Smile

Good_Rider: you don't need to ask us, just ask the stars and you'll get the answer...(-; Seriously, you know the answer already: some folks believe in Astrology and will see an Astrologer, other folks don't believe in it.
