Astrology is a science of calculated probabilities....but it's also an art. I am sure somewhere there is a "psychic astrologer" but I'd like that proven to me. An astrologer doesn't have to be psychic if he/she is experienced and capable enough.
And a psychic doesn't need astrology if they are really psychic.
A true psychic is a very very rare bird indeed.
I have predicted events in the lives of my clients. Through a combination of calculated probabilities and intuition (guessing?)....not really guessing, no. Experience. If I see X square X opposition X to the ruler of the X house, and I've seen that before about 20 times, and it always meant X would happen, then I can pretty well figure out that on the 21st time the same thing will "happen."
That is how the science of astrology has advanced to where it is today. About 6,000 years ago in Ur or someplace like it some people who had just been through a drought looked up at the heavens and noticed such and such going on and wrote it down. After a few hundred years of noticing what was going on in the heavens when certain events happened (it probably all started with a solar eclipse) the science of astrology was born. People with strong necks and inquiring minds began to keep track of the "lights".
We are lucky. We only have to buy books and do our own research based on the record keeping of probably a of million astrologers from the past. And put in the time.
Not everything CAN be predicted because of Uranus and Neptune. One is the ruler of "unpredictability", meaning we are not MEANT to know everything, and the other is the ruler of "deception" meaning man can be deceived.
And I have no problem telling a client that "we can't know this." or "you can't know this at this point." Or "you aren't supposed to know this. You need to LEARN for yourself."
Astrologers are not supposed to take the process of self discovery and life lessons away from his/her clients. Sometimes the client just has to learn the hard way.
