1.	Why are Astrologers able to predict (with some level of accuracy) another person's actions and intentions?
	Astrology is a study of a living being’s innate nature. Behavioral patterns don’t change much and predictions are based on these.

2.	If people don't change, can fate be changed? Why?
	Yes, fate can be changed, with some discipline and patience and direction! When we change our behavioral patterns, our “fate” and our journey changes. Changing behavioral patterns account for (or contribute) 33% of our “fate”. Destiny cannot be converted but it can be refined – when a person embarks on the journey within (fate).

3.	Is Astrology about fate?
	No. Astrology is a compass. It is about the journey. It acts as a guide. “Fate” is “destination” or “choices”. Astrology does not give you answers – it provides you with insights so that you can make informed choices. It empowers you.

What IS Astrology?

Astrology, Feng Shui, metaphysics and tarot … they are TOOLS which allow you to gain an objective understanding of events in your life and how you feel about it, and therefore, allows you to make positive decisions in life.

Astrology delineates who you are, but it does not confine you to that definition.

Astrology is a map and compass that shows you where you are headed, so that you can plan your life’s direction.

You wouldn’t go traveling or driving in a foreign land without a map, would you? So why should you go through life without a guide?

5.	Why do some Astrologers say that nothing is guaranteed and that destiny does not equal to fate?
	Only death is guaranteed, and right from the moment of birth too! Destiny does not equal to fate, because of the (informed) choices we make. Intention drives YOUR energy. The power or strength of your INTENTION will bring about your fate.

6.	Is it true that the planets dictate our personality?
	They don’t dictate our personality. They merely reflect our subconscious and unconscious intentions. The stars impel. The stars do not compel!

7.	It is said that when consulting a “fortune teller” (or a “soothsayer”), one must pay. Why?

8.	If you don’t know your birth time, can a reading still be done?
	Yes. By going through a “rectification” process (working backward, telling your astrologer your life’s events can help with navigating planet placements in your chart). However, accuracy levels may vary as it is dependent on the astrologer’s level of expertise and willingness to participate in rectification work.

10.	Why is it encouraged to consult an astrologer at least once a year?

11.

Why should you seek a consultation session with an astrologer to discover the right vocation?

If we don’t develop our own special talents or competence at doing something meaningful to us that also helps others, then we end up working at meaningless jobs and lack that sense of fulfillment and when you aren’t fulfilled by your work, you may experience a strong tendency to fall sick.

And because your essence is not 100% behind your actions, you might never experience satisfaction, fulfillment and / or success.

14.	What is Karma?
	“Karma” is a Sanskrit word that means “to act” or “to take action” or “result”. Therefore, when you are told that your life is very karmic, what it means is that if you want to achieve anything in life, you have to “take action” (work for it!).

15.	I have questions about a specific problem. Will you give me some advice?
	Without seeing someone as a client in a consultative setting, it would not be ethical for me to comment “blind”. You might want to schedule an appointment to discuss your concerns.

16.	How can I go "within"?
	Practicing meditation regularly and having daily “quiet times” for contemplation, helps a great deal! It helps you zero in on issues and helps you in formulating a strategy. You must be persistent and patient and not get discouraged. This is a practice for a lifetime.

17.	Why do we reincarnate?
	To make progress on the journey of Soul Evolution. We don’t learn all our lessons in one incarnation (lifetime). Some of our lessons could be about love, compassion, manifestation and we don’t always learn everything at the same time and in one lifetime and so we reincarnate many times to help us learn.

18.	Do all souls reincarnate?
	If your learning is not finished or if you have not learnt your lessons well, you may re-incarnate. It is a matter of choice of your Spiritual Self. You don’t “have to” reincarnate. There are some souls have learnt well and have no “need” to reincarnate but they do return, so as to help others.

20.	Can there still be communication with a loved one if that soul has reincarnated?
	When a Soul chooses to reincarnate, their Spirit remains (available) in the Spiritual World and is also contained or limited here on Earth (or any other realm / dimension) by a dense physical body.

21.	Can souls "split"?
	Yes it can. Many books on reincarnation show indication of many who speak of a Soul splitting so as to have more than one experience at a time and not necessarily in the same realm or dimension – this is to increase or accelerate learning.

22.	There are more people on earth now than ever before - is Heaven that crowded?
	There are many realms or dimensions and Earth is but one place and this is but one dimension – each has a different level of consciousness. We are not the only planet and we are not the only dimension that exists in the Universe.

23.

Do animals have souls?

Yes, I believe they do. A Soul is a Soul. It is only the dense physical form that it occupies, that is different.

For the sake of understanding, “human” souls belong to their own soul groups and similarly “animal” souls also have a group soul. “Human” souls have Spirit Guides and so too, do “animal” souls.
So, how different are we?

Some religions teach that a human who has defiled himself too much, is reincarnated as an animal to “serve out a sentence”, suggesting that Souls are the same, regardless of the physical form it occupies.

However, please do take note that Astrology and the various Sciences are free of religious teachings. The religious viewpoint above is shared, only to answer the question asked and is not to be taken as indicative of religion being present in astrology and other sciences.

24.

Do we have soul mates?

Soul mates make a pact before reincarnating, and agree to teach each other lessons and to help each other. We are all Soul Mates – you and I.

Many times, people say “he is my soul mate” when they mean “he is my twin soul”. Twin Souls or Soul Mates, do not necessarily end up marrying each other.

There are many who have married and didn’t stay together even – remember, it is all in the pact that they make with each other prior to incarnation.

How does astrology or spirituality view suicide and abortion?

We are Spiritual Beings having a Human Experience. When we chose to (re)incarnate as a Human Being, we are choosing to remember (as a human being) what our Spirits / Souls know.

Life is like a School – we learn many things about ourselves, how the world works and so on. Once you remember the importance of this school, you would not want to commit suicide – for it means you have not yet remembered and will continue to return as a troubled Soul and lead a troubled life.

A Spirit or Soul comes into be-ing when it takes a physical form. When the time is right, the Soul chooses parents who will provide an environment that is conducive for them to learn their lessons.

Should a pregnant mother choose to abort, this Soul would then have to either wait for her to get pregnant again or choose a different set of parents who would still provide the environment necessary for him to learn his (or her) lessons.

26.	Why is physical health important?
	We chose to incarnate to learn our lessons. Our body is the vehicle that allows us to have that experience and so, it must be cared for. The mind controls the body and vice versa – the better oiled it is, the better maintained it is, the longer our life span and simply, we have more time to learn our lessons and maybe more.

27.	What is destiny and fate?
	Destiny and Free Will often come into play, in the course of living life. Destiny is the experiences you chose to have, before you incarnated. Mix “Free Will” (choice) into the picture after you have incarnated and you get “Fate”. In other words, fate is the actions that you take, and thus, the result.
