I’d like to share a reply I just posted on Twitter, because this is something I care about. Someone described wanting a session that would “dig deep, with plenty of analysis.” Here is what I wrote:
The kind of in-depth birth chart reading you are looking for requires someone who combines astrological knowledge with a practical understanding of psychology, is familiar with the unconscious, and can understand the psychological symbols in your dreams.
People who get lost in astrological details cannot offer that kind of session. You need a conversation that helps you understand your fear of intimacy and recognise the ways you unconsciously sabotage yourself. You need someone who can hold up a clear mirror.
The unconscious can influence even what you choose to wear to a date or a job interview. Without your awareness, it can make you come across as more or less appealing.
There are many more examples, but the point is this: you need someone who can understand your unconscious and keep up with your intelligence. That is not something you find everywhere.
