Episode 508 - "The Professional Astrologer "

Now, I have mentioned before, more than once, about Donna Cunningham's wonderful book called The Consulting Astrologer's Guidebook, which I will reference again today.

But what I've bought is also similar, but not the same, and it's called The Professional Astrologer, Building a Successful Astrology Practice, and it's compiled by the Organisation for Professional Astrology, which is shortened to the OPA, of which I am a member.

So I'm a member of the Astrological Association of Great Britain.

I'm also a member of OPAR because I was a member of another organisation before that that got incorporated into OPAR.

I can't remember the name of the other member.

Come to me in a minute.

So what I thought I'd do is I'm not doing a review because what I'm doing today is telling you what is in the book and what is going to be relevant for you and whether or not I consider it to be a useful book to buy.

Now, just quickly, the answer is yes.

If you are in private practice already and you are unsure about various different things to do with being an astrologer, then this definitely is a book that you need to buy.

Now, I don't know if there's an equivalent one that is produced in England.

I can't remember if there was.

I don't think there has been, but I expect some of the British schools have probably got, I mean, I've quoted quite a few times from Margaret's book that she was called The Modern Summit or other to astrology.

Anyway, I'm waffling on.

So.

If there is one, I'll come back on another week and talk about it.

But this week, talking about the Professional Astrologer Building Successful Private Practice by Opar.
