But then...there's this one lady. She was one of the first people to whom I showed my chart after I began learning about my astrology.

Her analysis of my chart wasn't all bad, although it did include a number of questionable comments like, "You would make a great criminal, so don't go there," and "You will never make enough money to be happy financially." And now, whenever we "run into" each other on the websites we frequent...

I swear to God, this woman thinks she walks on water (thinks she's the greatest psychic ever and that her visions alone represent the single valid version of "the truth"). She also feels entitled to make references to my chart data, most of which involve the most simplistic stereotypes about my Sun, Rising and moon sign ever. Like a few months ago when I posted about a new whitening toothpaste I liked and she responded with, "From a company in which you obviously own stock" (get it—Taurus only cares about money!!!).

Anyone else here had a questionable experience with an astrologer?

The criminal comment, I don't know, either she needs to rethink ethical considerations and work on her interpretative skills or maybe both. Or is she is trying to goad you for some reason?

The dig about the toothpaste shares, then saying you will never have any money - odd.

I doubt he was the only one with that combo during the course of history, just the most noted.

It hardly means that you are at risk of setting yourself up as a mass-murdering megolamaniac.

And I have, at times, been irritated by the people who've looked at my chart and said, "Wow, reminds me of Hitler's" or something similar, because, of course, as you point out, he's hardly the only person with that Sun/Rising/Moon combo. And it's possible that Mean Lady has some other (purely) personal problem with me, I don't know. I got the impression she just didn't like my chart, and is kind of a jackass (she also told me that if I didn't get my novel published by January of '06, I wouldn't, which—ACK. Jerk).

I always ask for Sun, Moon and Rising to any astrologer before they begin their session. This helps you understand how they project their energies and how do they see the world.

E.g. One astrologer told me that Because I am 80% Water in my chart, I need lots of earth to ground me. Well, the woman was heavily Earthy. I agree with her statement but I also know that with another Water - I will go deep inside the ocean - and almost live on the Ocean floor with Cancer or Pisces - Yes, I agree hurricanes will come too. But, how would someone know unless they have experienced or seen this or has an ability to comprehend. (Just like how it has been hard for me to comprehend, Libra, Gemini or Aquarius relationships)

BTW, if the astrologer has Gemini, Libra, Cancer or Pisces influences, I will only go in to discuss and not to get a direction. They believe in free will and - will NOT stop you.

My experience is that Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Aquarius and Sagittarius are kind of hard and stick to their opinions.

Leos are wonderful astrologers. They will almost give you readings for Free. And they are generous. But they might get optimistic as soon as you share some positive experiences or flatter them a bit ;-).

How can Aries be astrologers? They will have five working under them. But well, Linda is an amazing Exception! I think lots of Optimism will show up and quick impulsive solutions will come up during the readings. They will almost feel excited about Square relationships because there is a lot of Fire.

In My Opinion (NOT experience), Aquarius, Scorpio and Sagittarius should be good astrologers as they don't believe in what you say but they will go inside the chart to find out WHO And WHAT you are. Thus far, I have always enjoyed sessions with Sagittarius as they are the best straight shooters and will warn you right away. They are also good teachers and have an ability to stay on top of you.

If you look at her chart

She has Moon in Sagittarius in 10th square the opposition of Saturn in Pisces in 1st and Neptune in Virgo in 7th

In her case, that can indicate philosophical,religious,spiritual,mystical,psychic ability....ultrasensitivity at the least
but it can be confusion,deception,illusion,preachy,santimonious,
hypocrite

She has Uranus in 3rd square Aquarius Ascendant,and so she's unconventional,rebellious and communicate in "off the wall" ways

I'd never considered getting an astrologer's sign before asking for a reading, which is strange (so unlike me; I'm allll about compatibility). If I'm ever on the hunt for another pro's perspective on my chart, maybe I will.
