This week I am discussing the core of my professional business: relationships. We have three wonderful volunteers who have offered to share their charts, which I am eternally grateful for. So you can learn about their charts and the problems/issues that they're working through.

This week I am answering Lisa's question about the difference between a house and a sign. A sign is the way a planet operates. The house is where all the action takes place and where the focus is. If you think about the Element of the house:Earth, Air, Fire, Water it will help... And the Ruling Planet  http://astromary.libsyn.com/episode-sixty-two that will help too ... The three example charts ALL have Sun in the 7th. They're all focused on close/personal relationships in some way.... Hugh Hefner : "I got married before I found myself. People should find themselves before they get married."                                 Martina Navratilova:  "I'm 58 years old. I got married for the first time - it's about time, right? Growing up as a gay woman, you just don't ever think about that, and then I thought, about 10 years ago, 'You know, I think within 10 years gay marriage will be legal.' And here we are, 10 years later, making it legal."   Lisa Marie Presley: "I'm not eager to jump into marriage again. I'm

Here's info on Lilith https://www.astro.com/astrowiki/en/Lilith   Here's my Astrolabe reverse side..you can just see the dates and the signs of the Zodiac. Front side of my Astrolabe. The pointer is used to line-up the degree of the Zodiac sign with the smaller inner wheel that represents the path the Sun makes during the year. On the outside of the Astrolabe is written the times of day. 12pm at the top and 12am at the bottom.  The pointy bits on the bigger wheel are stars. The background of the device has a semi-circle showing the horizon line. There's lots of other info an Astrolabe can give, I've just described one use that's Astrological.   I've made two videos to go with this podcast. The first one shows you me using my Astrolabe to make the Ascendant for someone born in London at 4pm (3pm GMT) on the 5th June  https://www.facebook.com/1503637256632823/posts/2205231263140082?sfns=mo My second video shows me using my computer programme to confirm those birth dates https://www.facebook.com/maryenglish.

This week we are learning about how Mercury, the planet of communication, can be in a sign different to your Sun sign. Mercury can only ever be in your own sign, or the sign either side of your Sun sign....(either the sign before or the sign after) More info on Mercury in Podcast Seven here http://astromary.libsyn.com/episode-seven-0 More info on Learning Styles an N.L.P. technique in Podcast Seventy Nine http://astromary.libsyn.com/episode-seventy-nine   Queen Elizabeth has Sun in Taurus, slow steady, but Mercury in faster Fire sign Aries   Mother Meera has Sun Capricorn: Earth but Mercury Sagittarius: Fire   Pope Francis has Sun Sagittarius: Fire and Mercury Capricorn: Earth

This week I'm talking about 'what is the problem' that the client is bringing. Until that is understood, you can't offer any help. Please don't become a problem for the client, or even make the client's chart a problem for them. As an Astrologer, your job is to be the solution and the confidant...Someone they will share their problems with. Here is Today's chart. What planets might be a trigger for someone you're working with at the moment? Or for you? Make a chart for the consultation date/time and the actual time they attend. Look to see what planets might be the trigger now, or might have been a trigger in the past.

A quick low-down about the whole Aspect Pattern/Figure thing. It's important to learn about Aspects before you learn about the patterns they make in your chart. I cover Aspects in Episode 19  http://astromary.libsyn.com/episode-nineteen-0 And Aspect Patterns in Episode 20  http://astromary.libsyn.com/episode-twenty-0 You can read more info here  https://www.astro.com/astrowiki/en/Aspect_Figure I'm also discussing a little more about being in private practice as SO many Astrologers, when they get 'big' stop seeing clients :(  This podcast is to encourage you to 'be' an Astrologer and to help other people as much as possible to empower themselves :) xx p.s. remember to study counselling SKILLS BEFORE you read professionally !     

This week we are working with Mr Aquarius's chart. He kindly offered it for discussion. He asked for me to talk about his present transits.

This week we are covering something that everyone wants to know about: Their finances. So I thought I'd share with you the charts of some (very) rich people. Obviously I can't share the chart of someone who is very poor....but I have worked with people where this is the case. It's important to also take into account the 6th house of work and the 10th house of career, (if you're a regular person not royalty and need to work to make a living)  If you're already very rich, then pay attention to the 2nd and 8th, did you become rich because of inheritance/family-money? If you'd like to know Your Sign's Astro Forecast every month then do sign-up here http://eepurl.com/bCSDz you can unsubscribe anytime you like! Here are this week's charts: First up is Queen Elizabeth. You can't deny, she's rich but her chart clearly shows that's the case because of her family, not because of anything she did.   Here we have Bill Gates who made his money from computers.   Another very rich man Warren Buffett   This chap lost a lo
