Traditionally, or most recently, people go to professional Astrologers, for pre-dominantly 3 things. Generally, they either want to know...1) What is my life purpose? or 2) How can I make more money? or 3) How can I improve my relationships?

The Astrological Reading/Chart

Of course it's really true that we should think of going to an Astrologer for really any area of our life where we want to improve ourselves.

Astrology is the amazing 'Wisdom' that includes a truly OBJECTIVE way of looking at ourselves.

Our Astrology, in other words, is the way the Universe sees us! This means that our charts see us the way Nature sees us. Our strengths, tendencies, qualities & characteristics are all readily 'understandable' by looking through our charts.

Modern Psychology says all of our problems can be traced to unconscious patterns and mental 'tapes' that literally cause us to make mistakes. These 'tapes', because they are unconscious, drive us to go too fast, stay up too late, eat the wrong food and be attracted to the 'wrong' kind of person.

Astrology has an uncanny ability to see a person's characteristics, in both our Positives, and our Strengths.

#1 Benefit of Astrology

... lies in it's ability to help a person see themselves more objectively. When you see your strengths, more clearly then you'll find yourself using those strengths more powerfully.

Self-Understanding

If we don't understand the way in which we are - especially if our strengths and weaknesses are mixed up - then, we'll feel doomed to keep making mistakes. For example, when a person has a mental inclination or tape to go too fast, it's what's spontaneously there. In other words it's one of our 'tapes', though being 'incorrect', it'll lead us to go too fast having accidents, fights, or disagreements.

Once we hear that this pattern is related to a 'Malefic' Mars for example, then we can begin the powerful process of diffusing our negative-producing malefic planet and replace it with a more positive one. Even the first step of just innocently having your chart 'done' or 'read' will be able to help you see yourself, (Positives & Negatives), more clearly.

#2 2nd Benefit

When we've had our reading, we can receive a list of our strengths & our malefic, weaknesses. This will help us with our Self-Understanding, and even just this 'wisdom' will begin transforming our lives in a more positive way!

"Self-Understanding"

Within this ability of Astrology, to see people, more objectively, will come the immediate benefit of self-empowering, self-understanding. When you know what you're like, what your strengths are, and personal characteristics, tendencies, and personality qualities, then, you'll spontaneously, find yourself, being more 'true to yourself'.

"Know Thyself"

Ever hear this expression? Comes from the Greek Oracle, at Delphi, from Ancient times. This one idea, has become the cornerstone for our entire

Western civilization. IN fact, our Western, 'Educational' system is based upon this idea. All that we take in school, subjects, extra curricular, etc, has a goal at helping the person know who they are, what they're like, and what they're most interested in, in this life.

Astrology has the unique ability to help a person understand themselves, within even 1, or 2 months. Instead of taking an entire early life, or even, longer, at knowing who and what you are; your Astrology, easy, and effortlessly shines a 'mirror' up to yourself, so you can see.

Once you know all of your Astrological qualities, then, it's a much simpler matter, to learn how to integrate, harmonize, and develop yourself, further.

# 3 Our Charts Fit us!

The key to success in life, is "flowing through good habits, strengths, talents, or Benefics, within ourselves, or our charts. Those who are spontaneously, more successful, have more prominent, strengths, and so even, unconsciously, they find themselves doing the 'right' thing, or the successful thing.

For the rest of us, who have inherent conflicts, within, bad habits, of sorts, mistaken notions, blind spots, illusions, prejudices, delusions, and 'weaknesses' of any kinds, we find ourselves; making mistakes, experiencing things that we're our intention, and not enjoying the natural success that WAS, our wish.

Astrology, has the amazing ability to see people, more objectively, as if we were a great parent, teacher, financial advisor, genius, mentor, teacher, Guru or God!

Astrology is Ancient Genetics

Modern Genetics has the hope of discovering the biological, gene, DNA, basis of life. The idea is that there is a literal, 1 to1 correspondence, between all the different aspects of our lives; and our genes. There is a gene for forgetfulness, for accident prone nature, for all dis-eases, and diseases! Genetics is in the middle of deciphering, and articulating this gene map.

Astrology has known for thousands of years, that there were natural qualities, or characteristics, within, that are the real reasons, why we succeed or fail.

Self-Improvement through Gene Therapy

The hope is that some ways will be found to improve one's fundamental DNA condition. Though they're an awful long way away from this. This however, is pure Astrology. For thousands of years, Astrology has known how to see, ourselves, objectively, like a scientist. Also, Astrology, has known how to try and improve the person by improving the fundamental, Astrological DNA, which are our Planets!

#4 Jyotish/Astrological Discrimination

The first step at self-improvement through Astrology, is identifying which of our Astrological configurations are positive, and which negative. The

positive one's are called Benefics while our negatives, are called Malefics. Once you begin to see yourself, in this clear way, you can begin the process of 1)Utilizing your Strengths & 2) Transforming your Weaknesses.

#5 Utilizing Your Strengths

The strengths, good habits, wonderful characteristics, life-affirming, positives, are called our "Benefics". These can be better understood, through having one's chart, done, or read. Once you are told which are your strengths, people spontaneously find themselves living those positives, more fully! One can pick better subjects, in school, make better career choices, and know more clearly what kind of person we want to attract.
