1. What is astrology and how does it work?

Astrology is the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies, interpreted as having influence on human affairs and natural phenomena. It works by analyzing the positions of planets and stars at the time and place of your birth to create a birth chart, which astrologers interpret to gain insights into your personality, life patterns, and potential future trends.

2. How can astrology help me in my daily life?

Astrology can provide insights into your personality traits, strengths, and challenges. It can help you understand your reactions to different situations, guide decision-making, and offer perspective on life events. Many find it useful for personal growth, relationship understanding, and navigating career choices.

3. What's the difference between sun sign astrology and natal chart readings?

Sun sign astrology is based solely on the position of the Sun at your birth and is what you typically see in horoscope columns. A natal chart reading, however, takes into account the positions of all planets, the Moon, and other celestial points at your exact time and place of birth, providing a much more detailed and personalized analysis.

4. Do I need to know my exact birth time for a reading?

While an exact birth time provides the most accurate reading, especially for house placements and the ascendant sign, a general reading can still be done without it. However, the more precise your birth time, the more detailed and accurate your reading can be.

5. How long does a typical astrology session last?

A typical session at AstroMontreal lasts 60-75 minutes. This allows time for a comprehensive analysis of your chart and ample opportunity for questions and discussion.

6. Can astrology predict specific events in my future?

Rather than predicting specific events, astrology identifies potential trends and energies. It can highlight periods that may be favorable for certain activities or challenging in particular areas, but the exact manifestation depends on many factors, including your own choices and actions.

7. How does astrology differ from fortune-telling?

Astrology is a system of analysis based on celestial positions and their interpreted meanings. Unlike fortune-telling, which often claims to predict specific events, astrology aims to describe energies and potentials, empowering individuals to make informed choices.

8. What are planetary transits and how do they affect me?

Transits refer to the current movements of planets in relation to your birth chart. They can indicate periods of opportunity, challenge, or change in various areas of life. Understanding transits can help you navigate life's ups and downs more effectively.

9. Can astrology help me choose a career path?

Absolutely. Your birth chart can reveal natural talents, work styles, and areas where you might find fulfillment. While it won't dictate a specific job, astrology can guide you towards career fields that align with your innate strengths and interests.

10. What are the benefits of getting a professional astrology reading versus using free online resources?

A professional reading offers personalized insights tailored to your unique birth chart and current life situations. Unlike generic online horoscopes, a professional astrologer can provide nuanced interpretations, answer specific questions, and offer guidance that's relevant to your individual circumstances.

11. How do you ensure client confidentiality?

14. What methods of payment do you accept?

We accept Interac Transfer and also PayPal. Please note that payment is required at the time of booking to confirm your appointment.

15. Can astrology help with personal growth and self-awareness?

Absolutely. Astrology can be a powerful tool for self-reflection and personal growth. By illuminating your innate tendencies, strengths, and challenges, astrology can help you understand yourself better, make more aligned choices, and navigate your personal development journey with greater awareness.

16. What if I'm skeptical about astrology? Should I still get a reading?

Skepticism is natural and healthy. If you're curious but skeptical, I encourage you to approach the reading with an open mind. Many skeptics find value in the insights and perspectives offered, even if they don't fully embrace astrology. At worst, you'll have an interesting experience; at best, you might gain valuable insights about yourself.
