Since my early teens I've known that astrology is something else and more than what can be read in newspapers and magazines. I also was quite sure, that some day I was going to have a real chart done. "Destiny"
made it that I, by the age of 20, met a girl, who had learnt
a bit about astrology from her mother. Just enough for her
to, -having a beginners astrology book in her hand,
calculate and interprete a chart. Since then, astrology has been by my side, and in those first years, my family, and almost everybody else I happened to get in touch with, had to put up with me and my "calculating". Soon I realized, that an astrology beginners book wasn't enough and I signed up for an astrological education. Circumstances, coincidences and other stuff crossed my way, and I dropped out, -never got the exam. I got busy with something else, and for some years astrology faded a bit, but always somehow lurking in the back of my head. I couldn't really stop tracing the planets as they moved across the sky, and though I tried to explain a lot of things, - by calling them "coincidences", it became more and more obvious to me that astrology couldn't be ignored or signed of as superstition. My
astrological début now is some 20 years back in time,
and as the years have gone by, it has come to be a bigger
part of my life.
Back
then, when I started my astrological journey, all
calculations had to be done "by hand". We had huge books,
listing the planets placement, day by day, and we had to use
logarithms and anti-logarithms for calculating the planets
placement at the exact time of birth. Listing and
calculating a chart was a task of several hours. In
these computer-times a chart can often mean a 25-50 pages
computer-printed description of the planets placement at the
time you were born. The chart is a map, showing the journey of your life and your personality, the interpretation is a big task, and it takes something the computer (nor the beginners book) can do. It takes human insight and communication between you and the astrologer. If you are curious about the influence of the stars and planets in your life and personality, then have a real chart done, by a real, alive astrologer. Computer-printet charts may be a good "taster" and/or entrance, -though in my experience, most people seems to be just confused by them. Well, I have already sad it, -they take only few minutes to make, and they don't take any insight what so ever. You shouldn't pay more than some 15 $ for such a "chart".
To have
a chart done by a professional astrologer can easily cost
you around 200 $. That's a lot of money, some might even
call it expensive. Elaborating and interpreting a chart is
very time consuming, 10 hours is not an unsual amount of
time to use, and added is the 1-3 hours talking about it.
Having that in mind, I don't think it's expensive. I never could afford having my chart done, and I know, that there are lots of others who can't afford it either. Money are wonderful, -if you have enough of them, but they can also be a bit of a curse if you don't have any. This is why I previously, on these pages have offered free advice. My thoughts about this haven't changed, and I've had a lot of exciting and intense conversations, gotten friends and a wonderfull insight in people's minds and lives all over the world. Thank you. The free AstroAdvice has been a succes, and from time to time I've been so busy that I couldn't keep up with it and it made me feel bad that I couldn't live up to my promises. I've probably also been exploited, menaing, that some of the people accepting a free advice probably could have paid if they wanted to. Mostly though, it's been fun and I've had a lot of thanksfullness. As already said, my thought about this haven't changed, but I've found other things to do, and I had to stop offering free advice. However, if you really do have a problem, and you really have no way to pay, or live in a place from where money transfers is a hassle or even cost more than what I charge for advice, Mail me and let's see if we can figure out something. Those who asked for a free advice before October 1st, 2000, will of course get their advice, but I have no idea about the time frame as of now. I can
NOT: Tell you when you'll meet the white prince, neither
when you're going to win a million dollars. I need to know your birthday, birthtime and place of birth. I also need to know where you live now, and the time and place from where you are sending your question(s). There can be up till two months waiting time, but if you have a problem that needs a more immediate answer, please do try anyway, I might be able to squeeze you in some where.
There are lots of astrology online, as web-sites, -professional, scientific, personal, and as mailing-lists for all kinds of astrological taste, direction and level of experience. Mailing-lists exists in several languages, -mostly english. There's an updated list with instructions on the link page
So, this is the first major update on the AstroPlace. I've written a bit about how I met astrology and about my view on the subject. I could go on for days about this, and still forget something. If you have an idea about what you'd like to see on the AstroPlace, mail me. Want to see some other sites?
