These are all the gifts that come with astrology.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that: we all have a tendency to get trapped in our own heads sometimes. Astrologers are no different than anyone else that way. I find that astrologers have their own peculiar emotional rut they get into: bad times hit, the astrologers stare at their transits, and then declare that things suck because of the transits. On the one hand, that&#8217;s absolutely true. When bad times arrive, the transits always show it. But on the other hand, that approach to astrology (and life in general)\u00a0 is as useful as saying &#8220;you&#8217;re depressed because you&#8217;re depressed&#8221; or &#8220;your relationship sucks because your relationship sucks.&#8221; <strong>Understanding the mechanism is a good start, but then you have to <em>do something<\/em>.<\/strong> You have to talk to a professional, or confront your mate without fear, or whatever the situation you are facing requires of you.<\/p>\n<p>Astrology, in and of itself, can provide a lot of answers, and it leads to solutions&#8230; but it won&#8217;t do the work for you. You need to take action and not be a victim of what the planets are doing to you today or next month. Having said that: if you want your life to be a better place, <strong>understanding your conditions and knowing the right questions to ask of life is an excellent start.<\/strong> That&#8217;s the real power of getting a reading.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if you&#8217;ll excuse me&#8230; <em>I&#8217;m<\/em> having some difficult transits and I need to do something about them&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"mailto:astrologyshow@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\">Questions about your birth chart, or astrology in general?
