· Read as many charts as possible with skilful craft and evolving method.
· Treat clients with respect and offer opinions with humility, giving them what they want, request, and are ready to hear - not what you think they need.
· Develop refined communication skills and deliver information in a straightforward manner devoid of jargon, cleverness, or vagueness.
· Distinguish clearly between applying the methods and concepts of astrology, and other forms of your practice such as therapy or counselling. In my mind they are not the one and the same thing.
· Remain up to date with the latest research, such as cutting-edge neuroscience and the most recent academic findings on human behaviour, if relying on psychological models in your practise. Simply leaning on conceptions that are decades old or were once fashionable, and possibly no longer entirely valid, is unlikely to be good enough.
· Recognise that the Tradition of astrology itself is full of perennial insights and practical wisdom pertaining to soul, psyche, character, and human nature.
