Trouble-shooting and making sense of life
Astrology is a
marvellous tool for solving problems and making sense of
situations that are otherwise baffling. The layout of the stars
and planets symbolises what is going on in your life now, how it
got there, and what you can do about it. It can help you to
make decisions. Equally usefully, it gives you a time frame for
practical action. This analysis is best done by personal
interview (by phone or face to face) with a printed timeline to
follow.

Astrology for business
and politics
The oldest use of the
art! The trouble-shooting analysis and timelines above can be
applied to your business or to groups and associations of which
you are part. In addition, worldwide cycles of economics and
politics can also be identified and timed by astrology.
Astrologers predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall, the rise of
radical Islam, and the recession of 2008, among other
macro-developments. This use of astrology is also best done by
live interview with printed dates to follow.
Psychological
astrology
The stars at your time
of birth (your natal chart) give a symbolic description
of who you are and what talents you have. This can help you in
making career decisions, planning your path through life, and
identifying your best zone of comfort. Similarly, the
child’s chart can help new parents understand better how to
relate to the small newcomer in their life. The adult natal
chart is best explained by interview; the child’s chart in
written form.

Experiential astrology
Symbolism requires
creativity! Creative Astrology groups are experiential forums
in which creative techniques such as painting, dancing,
improvised acting and visualisation reveal unexpected insights
about any horoscope whatever. The unconscious comes out to play
and shares its hidden knowledge. See my book Creative
Astrology (Capall Bann 2002) for details. Workshops can be
booked (for a minimum of 5 people) to last a day, half a day or
an evening.
