Interactions with the clients chart

[Andrew Bevan]

We've all been there;
The client arrives, their chart is cast - and everything drops upon your personal nativity.

What does it mean and how do we react? I find the question interesting because the clients' chart often appears to work as a secondary set of transits. "Look out - This is what is coming your way today!"

Those clients with the closest connections to my own chart seem to appear at times when important developments are going on in my own life - or they portray such circumstances or promotions. Or a client has his or her Mars in opposition to my natal Moon - and as soon as they have gone out the door, hell breaks loose. ('Been there? Done that?')

I do not go through the synastry between my own and other peoples charts before I accept them as clients. "Your Jupiter is trine my Sun and Mars - that's alright, you can come." "Saturn square Moon - No thank's, try the guy next door." But I do find it interesting since I regard my immediate environment as an extension of myself.

The professional standard or code, I must include and also stress, is not to involve with whatever is going on in a clients chart. Our job is to help these people on their way - but I am sure other astrologers have made interesting observations of their own, as things passed by.
