A person does not need a degree or formalized training program to become an astrologer. This makes it important for you to choose an astrologer who is competent, honest, and professional. It would be wise to talk to the astrologer you are considering to get a “feel” for their compatibility with you. Most astrologers are happy to spend five minutes with you to help you make your decision. But please be considerate of their valuable time. You can also check out their literature to see if it works for you.
Although a formal certification does not guarantee that the astrologer is good, it does show that they put in the effort to get the certificate to begin with. There are several credible organizations including the International Society of Astrological Research (ISAR) who offers C.A.P. = Certified Astrological Professional certificate and the National Council for Geocosmic Research (NCGR) who offers several levels of certification. A good source for information is a magazine called “The Mountain Astrologer.”
Each astrologer has her or his perspective on life. This puts a bias to their consultation. You must take responsibility for discerning the importance you place on the information provided. For every “bad” astrological placement, there is a talent to help you attain a higher level of life understanding. Astrology can help you to understand yourself and the changes you are going through. However, you must take responsibility for using that information for the Highest Good.
