The chart we are born with influences us from the moment we are born. A person’s characteristics can be known long before they are manifested. An astrological reading can reveal qualities such as intelligence, studiousness, emotionality, physical stamina. It can shed light about one’s health issues, the type of people that person will attract and much more information.

Even though we are born with certain properties, the way we are raised can greatly influence how we develop our better qualities and mold our difficult issues to turn to the best possible results. This is especially true during childhood, when our character is formed. Reading a child’s, or an infant’s, chart will help parents understand their children better and be able to guide them to fulfill their potential, having greater knowledge of their children’s qualities and challenges.

Many things. An astrological chart includes varied information about a person’s disposition, the type of work suitable for them, the type of people they are attracted to, as well as the nature of the relationships they form, health issues, what they inspire to and where they feel frustrated in their lives.

Even people who know themselves well can benefit from a reading due to the fact that astrology sees differently the way a person’s numerous qualities are interconnected and affect each other. It can shed a new light on why things always seem to happen to us the same way and repeat themselves; why it is so difficult to change. The planets exert an influence on us that we find hard to resist; that we are unaware of. Knowledge of the astrological mechanism facilitates better self-knowledge that is the first and crucial step to become a better version of ourselves.

The astrological methods of using transits and progression to see how the planets affect us now can help us deal better with issues such as:
• Difficulties in the work place
• A difficult relationship
• Confusion about the next step
Astrology is a powerful tool to help us see the specific planetary influences that create the paradigms in question and how long it wl last, and then devise techniques for better facing the challenges ahead, turning them into learning experiences.

We carry on patterns from past lives that color our present life. Knowing that certain things that happen to us, people that we meet, are due to past actions and knowing what they were, can help us break unhealthy habits and rise beyond our conditioning.

The future is up to us.
