It started as a whim and turned into a mild obsession. Every time I began a project with a new client, I would ask them their birthdate. Really what I was looking for was a hint into their personal mythos.
This wasn't a party game, this was a serious way for me to determine what I was up against that day. Will I have a churlish or childish day? Is it a teamwork day or planned act of attack?
So I would spend a lot of time trying to figure out the weather, before any storms started blowing and astrology would open some crazy window to freshen the air or let me know if there was a hint of rain on the horizon.
People I worked with would readily give me the information because it is fun for them to hear insights into their personality makeup. It was easy for them to agree with what I was saying because it was simple, direct and usually true. I wasn't going for doom and gloom, I was looking for the sunny side and the way out of my dilemma of being caught in a room with a complete stranger for 10 hours.
And what if I come up with a bad chart! There lies the crucible, the acid test for my belief in the stars. Those stars can justify so many situations, which give me the chance to shrug my shoulders and think, "Ha, there is that Moon in Capricorn again......what a sour puss."
