As the title really - how much do you tell other people about their charts?

If you see a series of massive transits about to pile up in someone chart, do you give them a heads up?

Do you watch and wait until they ask, or wait til after it's happened?

Asking as I've noticed some big big stuff about to hit a number of people I know. The one part of me wants to say vaguely - look there's some stuff coming up that might get make things happen, you might want to think about these things now rather than when it hits.

But the other part of me feels that would be wrong to do so. Or could be seen as wrong.

Where do you stand on it?

Nothing. The more I learn, the more I realize how impossible it is to predict how the chart will manifest for someone. There are so many nuances and factors, I feel like I personally cannot begin to describe the possibilities of someone else's chart in a helpful, non-confusing way. (I can barely understand my own)
Especially if they have no prior knowledge of astrology, or are dedicated to proving astrology 'wrong.' It poses almost zero beneit to them, and sort of paints me as a psycho in their eyes. Which I very well may be.

So I just keep it to myself, and quietly observe from the sidelines, taking notes... Trying not to hold on to my superstitions TOO strongly...

Of course, some astrologers are obviously good at providing benefit to people. But it often takes extra effort on the part of the receiver, like having prior knowledge, to discern and find the good ones.

At this point, nobody in my life uses astrology. The ironic thing is that the charts and synastries of the people in my life these days are more intense than I've ever seen. And they'll never know. But I guess it's all the same whether they know or not, I mean, they know how their lives are, they're living it, whether it's spelled out to them or not

I guess what I'm saying is, I would only tell them if they asked. Because they were looking for it.

I just quote personality traits without naming the source. Most responses are "yes, I am like that. How did u know?"
And then I respond with "I am psychic".

When i see transit coming to affect them. I delete their number, limit my contact with them and pretend they don't exist until its over

I never mention astrological specifics unless the other person brings it up. I do keep charts for family and some friends, but most of them are not interested in astrology, so I rarely talk specifics with them.

I do mention in passing that I do astrology as my work, so if people are interested they can inquire further. Because it is my work now, I don't have any eagerness left for bringing up myself.

I might integrate what I know about an influential astrological factor for a person into a conversation with them, but it will be in ordinary terms, not astrology. If it is because the person's Sun is in a middle degree of a cardinal sign, and I know Pluto is opposite or square it, I may drop something about personal empowerment, conflicts, ego, etc into the conversation IF it seems appropriate and helpful -- not just to pepper the conversation with what I think I know. But even that is not a common occurrence.

I don't tell anyone about their astrology. It's not really something I'm qualified to do at this point and it just feels creepy for me to inform anyone of a transit they're going to be experiencing at some point soon. For me, it's basically like butting into someone's personal life without permission. No matter how nosy I may be with some stuff, I respect the privacy of others.

If I'm ever more experienced when it comes to reading astrology charts, it's something I may bring up, but I'm not going to tell people about any upcoming transits for them. It's not my place to tell them anything that might cause more panic than necessary and their experience of any transit may become worse if I talk about this stuff.

I'm very glad that I told one woman, about to visit her daughter, the kinds of challenges she had in her chart. I felt hesitant to say something so personal and so deep about her life..... really, not my business.

Thing is? ... The next time she saw me a few weeks later, she had a really misty look in her eyes.

She said she wanted to 'thank' me... That what I had told her, and her 'understanding' about the chart, changed her approach to her daughter, and they had a huge breakthrough in their relationship.

Another woman asked for what was going on 'generally' -- after I "just told her the transit I thought pertained to her", she called me a 'psychic' .. She decided to DO and KEEP a breaking off the gnarly relationship with a guy who kept coming back, and, coming back (player).

The final break was hard-- but around 7 or 8 months later, she is NOW showing up in her life as the Captain of her OWN ship.
She got her life together, and LOOKS absolutely FABULOUS!! Honestly, she could pass as a glamorous Celebrity now. What a shift.

Some people (in-person, live), it's 'easy' to connect one-on-one with. If there's a real flow, then, I know they understand what I'm trying to say to them, and where I'm coming from in the 'intention'-- no matter which way it goes.

Sometimes I'm 'sweating it'? .. But actually, by 'knowing' their transits, I increase my own sense and knowledge of how it applies to real life. Learning to get it OFF the page of the book, and INTO my sense-orientation about people.

I don't tell people Astrology anymore. I just quietly judge them and pick up facts about them. Not with their signs, I just compare their personalities between their charts in the two systems and then I bounce off ideas in my head.
Yeah, my heads a pretty crazy place. Lol..

I don't ever. If the topic of astrology comes up I try to inform them that astrology has more than the sun signs but I dont think they quite get what Im saying and I get too embarrassed to talk about it with others. I always want to share the topic with my family hoping that they will become interested in it like me and ask me more about astrology etc but none of them are that interested. They just talk about their Sun signs but nothing more. So I let it go. I always wanted to talk to someone in real life about astrology but no one I know personally cares much. I feel like a weirdo because I always look up everyones charts. And I know my whole families charts and always compare their personalities to their charts 😂 😈 I probably know more about them than they think 😎

I always think that my friends laugh that I am interested in astrology, they believe that it can be a female interest haha ​​.. but those who laugh are the first ones who are interested so that I interpret their natal chart.


It's funny but I do not give them the taste.
I try to keep the interest in an intimate circle

Well I don't really talk to people about it unless they're somewhat interested.

I won't go up to every Richard and Jane and look at their chart without first establishing they have some interest in it. I don't like just talking at people about something they have zero interest in hearing.

But all the hype about charts being super personal - I understand that, if the person's name and private information is being shared.

But if someone were to take my chart and show it to people, I wouldn't care. So long as no one knows it's me, it's fine. For me, someone showing my chart isn't really personal unless they know who it belongs to.

If you know who the chart belongs to, only THEN is it personal, and a possible violation. Like "This chart belongs to Jimmy Olsen who lives in Ottawa" etc.

To me, the day and time a person is born does not belong to them. It's just how the sky/stars/planets were positioned back then.

Might as well just be asking "what would a person born February 19th 1980 at 1:44 AM be like?" It just so happens we know people born on that day, so we are speaking in relation to that individual. But the day and position of the planets does not belong to them. Not by a long shot. I don't see charts as personal. It only becomes personal if their personal info is shared. People have this idea that they "own" or "possess" in a materialistic way what happened in the sky. They don't.

I think of it in a universal sense, not in a proprietary way.
