I think astro scholr shall try to evaluate a request and the answer to the request, befaore he give statement about who are cheaters/swindlers.
If the question was genuine, if the person really wanted to be Astrologer and is 22 years of age, would he then not have started to investigate this side of himself?
Would he/she not have had another and more "Astrological" question for his chart?
The question is only made in order to make "you" as an Astrologer interested in his cart....for you to grab hold in it...so he can bring his question further.
I am NOT saying this is a wrong approach, I am only saying that He will not become any Astrologer BECAUSE he himself have no really interest in it, and it take way to much "slow" work for him to put in an effort to learn it.
Let me also be allowed to answer his following up question.
I am NO Astrologer.
I FIGHT for the FREE WILL and that we all can achieve what we want, IF we put our effort into it, and have abilities to back it up.
If you really "burn" for doing your own "business", and have a good reason for believing you will succeed, then start your own.
But be "solid" and "honest" with yourself and those you interact with, don't take any speedy shortcut life is seldom easy.
To have your own business bring yourself a "pride", but it also bring a lot of responsibility, and the need to make it running all the time.
If you on the other hand choose to be an employee, then you get rid of some of the responsibility, and if you get job in a secure firm, your salary will always be paid as long as you fulfill their demands.
In my opinion is it wrong to let to much of our life be controlled by the "star" or by readings.
If everything is listed in the "Star", then everything will happen to us, no matter what we do, because the star can't change according to our development here on earth.
The star can neither change if you are in the dark, or have been enlighten in what path it has in store for you.
If this is the case, then the most important part of, your and mine life, will be the "FREE WILL", the will to make something happen.
Since we are not alone in this world, and since all persons have a FREE WILL, then we can't believe that we always will succeed in "OUR FREE WILL" because it must also be the "FREE WILL" of those who will use our services, that be , love, talk,job,you name it
So in your life "YOU" are the motor...as I am in mine....if the Star was the motor...then we all was Robots with predetermine paths.
I believe that Astrology has much in itself, but not on micro control for any human being.
