Read on Twitter
while i love you all, sometimes i feel blessed that i wasn& #39;t part of any astrological community while first developing my professional practice, and that there wasn& #39;t much on the internet other than astrodienst and skyscript while developing my personal one early on. (thread??)
i think many of our astro community debates, while important, can hide the nuances of our individual practices to the detriment of beginners. i am

professional astrologers carry a lot more creativity and nuance in our practices than can be expressed on twitter. nuance generally doesn& #39;t get likes.
like i& #39;ve used essential dignities in aspect-heavy psychological astro for ages. i was oblivious to the internal/external divide imposed on modern/traditional. i& #39;ve used traditional rulerships without knowing they were traditional, while not discounting the gravity of the outers.
i& #39;ve used whole sign interpretation and quadrant cusps my entire practice (even if sloppily at times and always refining). no one ever told me this was odd. had i felt pressured to pledge allegiance to a house system early on, my teenage uranian ass would have done tarot instead.
the astrological community continues to rock my world and shift my practice as i continue to study, meet people, grow, but my clients are the ones i continue to learn from the most. i can be in love with a technique, but if it doesn& #39;t hold up for my clients, i won& #39;t use it there.
in my practice, i find the astrology we need for you, with you, the human with the particular peculiar beautiful chart, in that moment. yes this means i& #39;m not as efficient as some astrologers, but i& #39;m not focused on being "right" (even if i often am https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŠ" title="Löwengesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Löwengesicht">). that& #39;s just my practice.
i& #39;m as likely to bring to our reading a biomimicry anecdote as i am myths of Jupiter. i am as likely to quote Robyn as i am to cite Lilly or Sam Reynolds. i might ask you a question based off your Saturn signature that is also from a dream i had last night. astrologers are weird.
if you& #39;re feeling discouraged in your studies, feeling like you& #39;re not doing astrology "the right way," get off twitter, put your chart down, read a book on a subject you& #39;re passionate about that& #39;s NOT astrology, talk to a friend about it, then look at your chart again, repeat.
astrology encompasses everything, so you don& #39;t just have to study astrology to do it well. to do it really well, i think we should study diverse arts, disciplines, and topics. develop a keen mind open to creative nuance, and a good heart willing to speak and question soulfully.
