Interpreting a horoscope is both a science and an art. In drawing up a character analysis, the astrologer first looks at the sun signs, moon signs and ascendant, then turns to the elements (fire, water, earth, air) and qualities (cardinal, fixed, mutable). A serious astrologer will never make you promises. An astrologer only ever indicates where the tendencies of your character lie and the so-called time quality. This means that an astrologer tells you which outside influences are affecting you. How you decide to use this information in your life is entirely up to you.

For nearly 600 years, tarot cards have been fascinating people with their arresting images and symbols. By all accounts, tarot was invented in the late 14th to early 15th century in Italy. The tarot card reader simply "translates" these pictures into everyday language. The cards are guides which give the right answer at the right time but in no way make a decision for us or represent life as an irreversible fate.

Tarot can be compared to a wise old person or a good friend who we can ask for advice at any time, who gets us thinking and motivates us into action. Tarot is very useful when we need help with a decision. It also encourages us when we aren't sure which course of action to take to reach a goal. Tarot can also be consulted when we are interested in the current position of a development and need insight into future tendencies.

A reading is particularly useful if astrological analysis is not possible,for instance, because the exact date or time of birth (to the minute) is unknown.
