“How would I go about looking up an astrologer or a psychic for a reading? How do I know if they are ‘for real’ or not? Can you give me some suggestions as to what to look for?”

Kevin Answers:

Christa,

Thank you for an excellent question, one that I know many of you have asked yourselves. The fact of the matter is that for every trained, gifted, talented, and spiritual advisor or counselor out there, there are many who are less qualified and less ethical…oh, why mince words? There are a hell of a lot of crooks out there calling themselves “psychics” and all they’re looking for is a way into your bank account. So how do you tell who’s “for real” and who’s nothing but a con artist?

“I found on-line a scientist that stated the charts that were devised in ancient times are invalid today, but they are still used. He says that the Earth shifts on its axis, and that makes the constellations go into the Zodiac at the wrong dates. Like March 23 should be Aries, but in his mind the Sun is in Pisces. Can you explain what, if any adjustments for all of this have been made over time? This is the only thing negative that I ever hear concerning the accuracy of astrology, and I would like to understand what’s going on.”

Debbie,

Thank you for an excellent question. This question, in fact, is so fundamental to the understanding of astrology and is the source of so many misunderstandings and misconceptions, that I’ve also included this response as part of the FAQs (frequently asked questions) part of my web site. Answering this question, however, is going to require some astronomy as well as some astrology, and the clarification of some terms.
