Cuz he's the man! Lol

I think because he already has a solid grasp of how to interpret but continues to evolve in his craft. And is generally willing to interpret for anyone here...Very generous with his time. Thanks Todd!

He now can say what he wants, but that's my opinion..

He also only considers composite and doesn't take synastry into account which is only like 1/3 of the entire picture.

I think people request Todd (I even did myself a few times) is because he's quick to answer and does give you a decent interpretation whether I agree with the methods and validity is neither here nor there.

Then after some time, I again posted chart and mentioned in post something like, that I want to hear opinion from others, cause I heard only how it will not work and my relationship is pretty fine. He then again answered how he will not change opinion cause of my "honey moon" (and nobody told him anything), and again gave his interpretation, telling how guy will start to be very soon selfish and find me every mistake. Well, here I am, still with the same guy, without any conflict, no selfishness from any side, so...

Like I said, you can't interpret someone's relationship by looking only at Composite and aspects, by telling someone it will not work cause of one bad aspect but ignoring other harmonious ones.

Even with a lot of bad aspects, you can't say this or that will happen, but it can happen if... and how to work on it..

Rarely talk about planet signs, houses..ignoring synastry totally.. repeating words over and over..

That said, in relation to composite charts, the fact is probability 90% of potential relationships do not end in commitment. For that matter over 50% of marriages end in divorce. So the reality in spite of the humanistic hope is that most relationships will have more difficult aspects than bonding aspects. My readings are for individuals who want a realistic appraisal of the pros and cons of a relationship and not those serial daters who hope the current love interest will be the answer to their dreams.
I tend to stay with relationship charts because I like to believe that my astrological experience can assist in a constructive manner. By this I mean a querent can make a concrete decision, stay in the relationship or end the relationship .when interpreting a natal chart the individual has less control to actually change psychological circumstances.
I am concerned about real time advice as a consequence I do not place emphasis on signs. There is virtually no way to give a precise forecast based on signs.
The same holds true for house cusps besides the angles, MC/IC,ASC/DSC.house cusps are entirely subjective. Each cusp system is based on subjective parameters and hence from my stance, cusp can not be relied on to give accurate forecasts.
This is why I almost exclusively rely on the aspects to the planets and midpoints. These frame of references give the option of making exact forecast and when someone wants to know more exactly how a aspect may affect them, it is possible to direct them to a exact time in their life by which they can judge the aspect for themselves.

Said that, I find this thread offensive. when you receive a PAID reading you have reasons to complain. when it is free, you have not, even if the reading (under your criteria) is wrong.

whoever comes to this forum searching for FREE READING should be thankful for whatever piece of advice they get, even if they do not like it or disagree with it. nobody is obliged to read charts.

it seems to me that someone were looking to target Todd out of nowhere. I just find it low vibe so say the less...

also, just my personal experience, but no matter how nice the synastry, it always comes down to the composite

but nothing is set in stone and a relationship with a composite might have a very different progressed composite as the two people in it evolve, so there are many levels to the interpretation of a composite and one aspect wouldn't always mean that it's fated; the way todd gives firm answers is actually very helpful as you get to realize the true foundations beneath a relationship which previously you might have been blind to

Todd has been the most generous person interpersonal astrology has ever seen, and I always take the time to read what he's said for another person's chart because it's all so fascinating. Truth be told, I find that he rarely repeats himself, and there's many times where a composite get his stamp of approval with a fair warning.

I find it outrageous that some people talk badly upon his style while still requesting a reading from him merely to check it out, then go back to talking smack because they didn't hear what they wanted to hear. These same people will request readings time and time again from others while never giving back selflessly to the forum like Todd does.
