If you’re a professional astrologer or studying to become one, I haven’t run out of things to say by a long sight! The book I’m proudest of is Counseling Principles for Astrologers:  Becoming an Effective Change Agent, a text for the consulting astrologer. It takes my background of a Master’s degree in Social Work and translates it to the framework of the astrology session.  There are chapters on:

• how begin, focus, and end a session effectively

• communicating clearly and initiating a dialogue

• vocational astrology sessions

• working with the charts of children and teens

• ethical issues that arise in the course of a session

• referring clients to other professionals for further work

• building a practice
