[QUOTE="TuesdayPillow, post: 829614, member: 58516"] I learned a few things from other astrologers that I put in my do/don't bucket: 1) Ask if it's ok to touch upon certain subjects like family/childhood. Although I've had nobody say no yet, I was forcefully asked about mine and didn't enjoy how it felt. I make sure to be gentle and ask permission, as some people love to analyze their past and some do not. (I actually do, but this one person was making these very definite assumptions about my childhood that were a bit horrifying). 2) Listen when the other person gives feedback. Like, really listen. I find giving readings to people is a just like therapy. This isn't about how much you, the astrologer, knows. 3) You don't always have to have an answer for everything right away. Sometimes a question is asked, and you might feel like you have to answer it on the spot. That often paralyzes you and you can't see the puzzle pieces right in front of you. I often table questions that go off-subject and when I come back to them later, I have very fresh and accurate answers because I took the pressure off. [/QUOTE]
