I do a few readings now and then in this forum.  It was rightfully pointed out to me that readings can be very wrong if the proper place and time are not calculated correctly.

When there is bad input, there is bad output.  In other words, without the correct data, the reading can be dramatically altered rendering a wrong answer.

When an astrologer answers a horary question, he/she has calculated a new astrology chart for the "birth" of the question.   When doing the mathematical calculations (usually with software now days), the data must be correct for the answer (the chart) to be correct.  Horary is  not like "psychic" readings, but based on the actual place and time of the question.

So, it is very important when you post a question to give your correct location (city, country) and your LOCAL time.  An astrologer can calculate your local time using the Mystic Board clock, but it is a courtesy to just give your local time.  It's easy enough, just look at a clock!  

So when you ask a question and request a reading, be sure to give the following information.

1.  The question. Must be asked with strong intent, or focusing on the question while you ask it (while typing).  The greater the desire, the more accurate the reading.
2.  Your location (city, country)
3.  Your local time.  Please indicate if it is standard time or daylight savings time.

Thank you!

As I do more readings here at MysticBoard, I have run into some other problems that are affecting the readings!  So, I add this information to the "HOW TO" post I made earlier.

1.  Be clear of the date.  When you write 12.4.2007, for example, this can be read as December 4, 2007 OR April 12, 2007.  It is better to write out the month so that there is no question about the date.  I can assume that I know the date, whether written in eastern date notation or western date notation.  But this just causes some readings to be inaccurate!

2.  I am glad to have all information that you can give me.  The clearer you are in describing the question and surrounding circumstances, the more accurate I can be in interpreting the chart.  However, you should ALWAYS note the time that the question came into your thoughts with intent and desire!  If you write for 10-15 minutes, for example, I have no clear and accurate TIME when the question was asked!  Again, this just causes inaccurate readings.  Always look at the clock and give me that information in your request.  If you have time to write me several paragraphs, then you have time to give me an accurate TIME!

3.  There are always more questions than readers!  Sending a reader a PM or constantly "reminding" him/her that you haven't gotten a reading yet is just rude.  We do this voluntarily, giving our time to help others or to "hone" our astrology and reading skills.  Fussing because the reader hasn't gotten to you yet is very annoying, and likely to cause me to skip your request and read someone else first!

4.  While you are waiting, please visit other areas of the website.  If you don't do readings, there are always people in need of comfort and someone to listen to them, a human being "out there" who cares, in the "I need a hug" forum!  This is a good way to GIVE SOMETHING BACK for the help you have requested!

Thank you for your cooperation.

well......Horary never answer question like you ask.....but if you really believe in readings...and they give you a meaning...then I wonder why you are asking the same question in all reading forums?

If you don't believe, but want to pick the reading that gives most meaning to you, how can you then know that this one is the one who carry the truth?

If we chose to have our thoughts confirmed, will we not then just go on in the same track as before?

I am no Astrologer, but I will give you some thoughts of mine

A Reading can never fix you anything, and can never take anything away from you.
It can point out tracks, and you, through your mind can works toward it,....or away from it.

So my guidance must be, believe in yourself, try to develop your strong sides, which you would know best.
You must always take responsibility for your actions, then be sure that your action is what you want, not what other want.

Our Brain is a strong tool, and by asking a lot of advices (unneeded) you tell it that you don't believe in yourself, even if you also tell that this is just for fun.
As said...If you shall believe, and really have a help....then ask once....get the answer.....ponder on it...evaluate it.... and out from that, you can do your action.
