1. While astrology is structured, a lot of astrology is intuitive. Trust your gut when you& #39;re reading your chart or someone else& #39;s chart!
2. When it comes to giving someone a reading, be sure to ask them some questions so you know what you& #39;re exactly reading. For example, the 6th House covers pets: Don& #39;t talk about pets if the person you& #39;re reading doesn& #39;t have pets (unless they ask you of course!)
3. When you read someone you know, be careful - your bias and/or the information you know about them can explain elements in their chart, but don& #39;t be TOO biased, for this can twist your interpretation.
4. Speaking of bias, do NOT be biased when giving a reading. Stay as neutral and open-minded as possible. When you& #39;re biased, you open the possibility of giving misleading information.
5. Be careful on what you say. If you& #39;re giving a chart reading, realize that the people you are reading could be strongly affected by your words. With this being said, be ethical, truthful, and reasonable in your interpretations. Don& #39;t be fatalistic or limiting in your words.
6. Textbook or cookbook knowledge on astrology is good for GUIDING your interpretations. Don& #39;t let textbook interpretations ruin your interpretation!
7. The most challenging (but most fun!) part of synthesizing is mixing placements together in the natal chart and determining a unique interpretation. If you encounter contradictions, embrace them because people are naturally different and contradictory beings.
8. The natal chart is a starting point showing the potentials of someone& #39;s life. With that being said, you& #39;ll notice older people saying, "Oh, I used to be like this, but not anymore." while younger people are more likely to be self-unaware. Know your client.
9. Realize that you may not always be completely accurate in your reading. Don& #39;t beat yourself up when you get something wrong, you& #39;re only human. Practice makes perfect, especially in astrology.
