A good astrologer is a teacher, not a fortune-teller. They help you read your own chart over time. Here is how to find one.
Ask about training
Schools, mentors, certifications. There is no global license, but a serious astrologer has a clear lineage and can name it.
Ask about technique
Modern, traditional, Vedic, Hellenistic, evolutionary — they are different methods. A good practitioner will tell you which they use and why.
Ask about scope
What can a session not do? A confident astrologer is comfortable saying I don't predict that.
Red flags
Curse removals, urgent rituals, refusal to explain technique. See how to spot fake astrology.
