The problem of the astrological chart.
Astrology cannot be reduced to the interpretation of the astral chart (whether it is that of birth or consultation or any other events whatsoever). The astral theme is intended to be a representation of the sky at a given moment. It is therefore a very well-defined moment, but the problem is that we use a large quantity of stars, signs, and houses. Contrast between the precision of time and the jumbled nature of the data thus collected and supposed to be combined!
Astrology has other niches and other methods to use than those of the astral chart, supposed to describe a personality in its somehow irreducible specificity or this or that event, in what is particular about it. Condemning the astral chart therefore in no way means rejecting astrology, but rather a certain practice that can be considered deviant.
However, it is common knowledge that certain clairvoyants use astrology for their individual consultation, therefore relying on birth data, whether to draw up a chart or simply to know the client’s zodiac sign and in the latter case, we include the person within a certain psychological family, which is a form of characterology. But this “soft” form of astrology has 12 boxes, significantly lighter than that of the astral chart, does not seem particularly reliable to us. Here again, the precision of the data clashes with a rather muddled symbolism, even if we articulate it on a certain planetary mythology. (Mars, planet of the ram and so on)
It seems to us that clairvoyance has nothing to gain by appealing to the astropsychology of the astral chart, the reliability of which is questionable. Indeed, the ability of the clairvoyant to capture his client in all his specificity is much greater than that available to the astrologer in reality.
Only the clairvoyant, little master of his art, will be tempted by resorting to such an expedient so that the use of astropsychology poses a problem with regard to the ethics of the profession. This is the whole question of supports and this applies more or less to the Tarot. We can even wonder if the clairvoyant does not compromise his gifts by going through such rather artificial processes. It is therefore not desirable to give a clairvoyant his date of birth (which can be used for numerology), just as it is preferable not to ask a clairvoyant questions and to let him express himself without immediately putting him on the path to a problem. Certainly, the clairvoyant sometimes risks telling us things that we do not necessarily want to hear, but it is not desirable to want to frame his words or alter his feelings or his vision. Furthermore, it seems to us that dowsing or kinesiology are entirely compatible with clairvoyance, much more than tarot or astrology. Perceiving the person through their pulse seems to us to be a more interesting way to connect directly with someone, than by asking their date of birth or drawing cards. We think in particular of the method of Gilbert Lavallière (Isoris) consisting of taking the person’s pulse and reviewing a list of data, the pulse indicating which data is appropriate in this case, which is the appropriate elixir. We will have understood that the main thing is to know how we connect with a patient.
So let’s not mix clairvoyance andastrology; the seer must have his own values and stick to them. We do not ask him to have learned to read a theme or cards - and literature abounds on this subject! - but to listen to himself, to call on his gift, on his resources, which can come through messages that he receives from another dimension, and in this sense the clairvoyant seeks inspiration like the poet and the genius. It is obvious that this type of clairvoyant is rare and it is not the good clairvoyants who will contradict us.
Let us remember that there is a “real” astrology which aims to tell us about the progress of the world, the phases through which Humanity passes, but this astrology is in no way made to deal with personal cases and as for its psychology, it is not that of the zodiacal sign, but above all, that linked to the fact that we are a man or a woman and here again the fact of preferring that we go through the “theme” rather than leaving of the client’s sex, again falls under therapy.
