Reminder: doing the work of divination is like trying to do math & touch lightening simultaneously. The energy + concentration it takes is immense. On top of that, being present & focused on the client, as well as holding a safe space, also takes energy. Be kind to your diviners.

I know some people will argue astrology (& tarot, geomancy, I Ching) is a logical system + more like reading a book. In my own practice that’s not the case. I use technique to tease out possibilities & I let connection to the divine “show” me what is relevant to a client.

That connection is like an electric live wire. As a diviner I become a vessel for a message. Being a conduit is like being a living highway. It requires a lot of maintenance to keep yourself from injury or exhaustion. That connection must be tended, so too your body (the vessel).

This isn’t the case for every professional diviner, and I respect that. But I think it’s healthy and respectful to assume that your diviner will need space to process the readings they have given, and to “refill the well” for themselves. It’s impossible to perpetually pour out https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Violettes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Violettes Herz">

A good way to look at it: professional athletes need to rest, recover, cross train in other disciplines, and even work on their mental game. This recovery and “refilling the well” is what helps them remain world-class performers

Your diviners also need this!
