An
in-depth look into your personal astrological chart. Gain insight
and clarity in all
aspects of your life through a one or two hour personalized phone
session with the President of the Organization of Professional Astrologers,
Bob Mulligan.
GENERAL
INFORMATION FOR MY CLIENTS
Before our initial
session, I like new clients to become familiar with the following
ideas about our work together. What follows is a statement of goals,
policies and procedures. Spending the time now to read and understand
this material allows us to proceed in a positive and productive
direction. It is important that we have similar expectations about
the work before we both commit to it.
Read the following
information carefully. These general notes describe feelings, attitudes,
and policies of our work together. Share your thoughts with me as
I revise this material from time to time.
THE GOAL
OF THE WORK
It is totally
understandable and valid to seek advice from an astrologer in order
to gather more information about your current situation. The better
informed you are the more likely you are to be happy with the decisions
you make. Astrology always gives you more than you are asking for
so it is important to keep a few things in mind as you embark on
this pathway.
First, astrology
is a therapy, and as such it will alter your perceptions of yourself
and of life. Astrology as a frame of reference always presents us
with more information than we were requesting. Astrology reveals
everything about you that can be known. As a consequence of this
vastness of information before us, I may see things in your chart
and your life that you are not aware of and are not asking me about.
It is my duty to tell you things that I honestly feel will help
you, even if you are not interested or curious. Inversely, I may
overlook or miss certain things that you feel are critical in your
life. If you inform me of your interests and concerns before our
session I do my best to address these issues. I am as "client directed"
as possible.
Having your
chart done for the first time can be quite a surprising experience.
When you ask me to look at your chart you are asking me for my interpretation
of the facts of your life. You may not agree with my insights or
opinions. I may have a different picture of you than you have of
yourself and that is why we are together. Our differences of perception
should be a great resource to you through which your perspective
on life can change.
Second, my conscious
aim is to augment the growth elements and instructional ingredients
in the system of astrology during our initial session. Our time
together should assist you in placing the concerns and specific
issues of this period of your life into a larger context. Receiving
this new information will require some self stretching. Consequently,
you may feel overwhelmed by information in your initial appointment.
This is not unusual.
Getting help
from astrology is not a passive act of gathering information. Regardless
of whether or not the information you receive matches or even exceeds
your expectations...IT WILL CHANGE YOU...and you will respond in
some manner to this change.
POLICIES
OUR SESSIONS
ARE TAPED
As a courtesy
to you and as an aid to your memory I tape our sessions together
and give you the tape. This is so you can go back and review the
material. I do my best to make the highest quality tape possible,
but take note, I can't guarantee the quality of the tape. If anything
goes wrong with the tape, which happens rarely, you are left with
this as an inconvenience. You are welcome to make your own tape
if you wish.
NO CANCELLATION
POLICY
Because I put
such energy and time into the sessions of the people that I work
with and because my time and my professional life is so valuable
to me, I ask you to not set up an appointment if there is any doubt
in your mind as to whether or not you can keep it. I ask you to
not cancel an appointment once you have set it up. If you need to
move your appointment time, I will do everything possible to accommodate
you. Sometimes when I am meeting you in some location other than
my home office in Florida it is not possible to find an alternate
time for meeting. This is rare, but if it happens, your appointment
will be converted to a telephone session. If it becomes absolutely
necessary to cancel an appointment completely because of some emergency,
I will understand that it was necessary. However, you are responsible
for having taken this appointment time, and my fee for that session
must be paid by you.
If you know
you may be running into a scheduling problem, call me and see if
a scheduling adjustment is possible. I will do the very best that
I can to accommodate you. Although you and I are friends, we have
a professional relationship and I am unable to give you my best
if you cannot respect my simple request on this matter.
OTHER PEOPLE'S
CHARTS
You may have
curiosity about other people in your life and wish me to take a
look at their charts. The answer is no. Even if the person is not
a client of mine, I consider it a violation of confidence for me
to give you information from their chart. You can however have a
chart comparison done with this person, or, you can get an INDRA
Report done for them. By the same token you should know that I will
not discuss your chart with anyone else but you. It is fair, however,
for parents to have the chart done of their new born infant. This
can provide useful information about how to parent the child. Further,
astrology has a genuine use in personnel work. If you have interest
in this vocational application of astrology, ask me for more information.
A NOTE ON FORECASTING
One aspect of
astrology is forecasting. My approach to prediction is to involve
you in dialogue over your own future. Regardless of our discussion
or what I think about your life, I want you to act from your own
intuitions. While astrology is the perfect science, I've never met
an astrologer who understood it perfectly. While I have a professional
opinion over the events in your life, an opinion is less than knowledge.
A weatherman has an opinion about the weather just as I have an
opinion about your life.
ONGOING USE
OF ASTROLOGY
CONTINUING THERAPY
After our initial
session, our work together will revolve around specific issues that
we agree on as pertinent to your life pattern. We can set up a program
of self-development that includes regular sessions.
THREE WAYS OF
WORKING
1. In Person.
I see some of my clients monthly or bimonthly to discuss current
issues and situations in their lives. This is an opportunity to
get further insight into your process of self development.
2. The Telephone.
I speak with some of my clients over the phone to do regular (up
to two hours) or short (up to one hour) sessions. It is necessary
to book these appointments by calling (239) 261-2840.
3. Extended
work. Sometimes it is advantageous to do a lot of work at once.
We may have a double appointment lasting four hours, we may do a
day of work or several days of work.
HOW OUR WORK
PROGRESSES
We will always
hit a place in our dialogue where an issue becomes stuck. This happens
regardless of how earnest you are and how much you try. We all have
barriers. When you reach a place of not being able to move forward,
we switch from dialogue to a different therapeutic modality. This
may include seeing another type of therapist or consultant for body
work, psychotherapy, psychic healing, some work to access your artistic
skills and your imagination, or past life regression. Being in therapy
with me will always require some homework. Desire to work on yourself
is necessary in order to make real progress. Your correspondence
keeps me current with the happenings in your life.
ABOUT MONEY
The fee for
our work together is $200 per one-hour session and $400 per two-hour
session. Most appointments last for up to two hours. Sometimes we
are working in blocks of time where we are together for two or more
sessions at one time. My fee is $200 per hour of extra time. Short
sessions which are for any time up to one hour are $200. You may
also book a half hour session if your questions are very specific;
my fee is half my hourly rate. If your appointment is scheduled
for the telephone, it is your responsibility to insure that I have
received your check or credit card information before our appointment
time.
