  By Karen Elaine | Updated April 2012

• Astrology and little people

By Karen Elaine | June 2010

Astrology is an indication of your perception, not a map of what will and won't happen to you. When you consult an astrologer, you dialogue your potential to see how best to use what works for you to assist in situations where you're not coping.

Astrology for children is no different. The danger, however, is moulding the child to fit the astrologer's “prediction” on the potential. The “prediction” may even be the parent's interpretation of the astrologer's advice.

  Published: September 2009

  I get many calls from clients with control issues with partners and spouses, parents and children and in the office.

• Don't Blame the Planets

  Planets are not responsible for events.

  If they were, all those with Uranus up their anus would experience a disaster at the same time. Planets influence interaction with our environment and our reaction to events.

  The horoscope enables us to take a closer look at occurrences in our lives and investigate a better understanding of whatever's happening to help us cope and move forward. We look at the essence of the planets and their placement in our horoscope and see how best to take advantage of their influence to enhance our lives and maybe even learn a valuable lesson from the experience.

  Astrology looks at the planets and their influence on our lives. In contrast to yester-year, rather than use this science only to predict, sophisticated modern-day astrology sees the horoscope as an aerial map of our potential to help our clients understand themselves better.

• Astrology helped me cope with the loss of my husband

  I employ astrology to examine the positive aspects of your personality, to time events at the moment of the consultation and to see what can be learnt from your experiences. I never predict that you will or won't get married, lose a job or whether it's a good idea to take an overseas trip, because I don't believe I have the right to make decisions for you.
