Horoscopes, Star Signs, Sun Signs, Zodiac Signs - as used in countless
magazines, newspapers and websites around the world represent a hugely
popular "shop front" to Astrology. It isTHE most likely way
that people are first aware of Astrology and often the catalyst to them
finding out more for their own research and to consulting a professional
Astrologer. These texts that apply to one twelfth of the population are
part of the Astrology family, but a very simplistic and easily digestible
form.
This
is Astrology in sound bites, a quick read in a fast moving modern world.
Annabel
Burton does not draw any distinction netween Sun Signs and so called 'Real
Astrology. The work of a Sun Sign Columnist is as important as the work
of a Consulting Astrologer (Annabel unusually does both kinds of work).
Similarly
Premium Rate Telephone Horoscope and Astrology lines are a convenient
way for people to have access to a Professional and/or experienced Astrologer
in fast form.
We
see nothing wrong in Star Sign Astrology when it is done well by a real
Professional Astrologer (rather than some ill informed journalist) and
when it is seen in its true context. You should never underestimate how
immensely popular around the world and how requested these simple Horoscopes
are. We would like to help educate those who are interested into all forms
of Astrology.
However
by far the most empowering way to work with an Astrologer is to make an
appointment for a face to face Consultation (see the
Association of Professional Astrologers UK Consultants List). New
telecommunication systems means that Astrological Advice can be given
via a phone line as in our own NONE Premium
rate Live Telephone Consultation, or in the purchase of prepackaged e-mail
and mail Horoscope Products and finally by popular Horoscope texts,
which the familiar face of Astrology.
The
whole point of a Star Sign / text Horoscope for your sign is NOT to predict
the future, or to prove that Astrology works, but to provide a 'flavour'
of what the planetary energies can reveal in a person's life for that
particular moment in time, with a view to being the best that you can
be (if you are reading an ethical Horoscope text, you should always, have
hope and not feel you are doomed!)
In
the case of a Star Sign / text Horoscope, the information is not based
on the exact particulars of your own birth, it is a snapshot for all individuals
of that Star Sign, so can not ever be anywhere near as accurate as consulting
a Professional Astrologer who WILL work with your exact data to produce
information that is only relevant to you, your circumstances and what
you need to know to empower your life.
Such
a Personal Horoscope shows you how and when to try and bring about what
you want from your life and may indicate how far you are likely to get
with your dreams, Therefore we are not predicting things that will happen
if you sit around and do nothing, do nothing and nothing happens! This
is about you getting involved in your life ... You Are In Charge!
Your
Astrologer shows you which choice is best and CRUCIALLY, when to act.
Timing
is everything in life!
Forecasting
is very useful for individuals, companies and countries, and does not
focus on 'events' but conditions in which events may occur. Annabel Burton's
type of astrology is more about empowering individuals through an understanding
of character, relationships and circumstances, so that people may take
effective and successful charge of their own destinies, with the additional
information that astrology can bring.
The
Star Sign column that you consult may be to some just fun, often the good
ones can provide a moment of insight that allow you to be better and act,
often they can help at a bad time and they can be fun .... but by no means
do they represent all that Astrology is, just a part, just the very tip
of the iceberg!

In
a recent meeting between professional Astrologers it has been brought
to light that we are all receiving an increasing number of messages about
people being asked to pay fees for 'spells' or 'Astrology' information
without which you will not get the outcome you desire and other bad and
unethical practices.
Annabel
Burton Astrology does not condone such practices and we would like to
point out that we work to an agreed code of conduct as members of the
Association of Professional Astrologers
International.
Usually
these practices are being carried out by the less than scrupulous who
appear to be out for a 'quick buck' and who use Astrology as an umbrella
for their activities.
Professional
Astrologers are aware that where there is great demand for Horoscopes
Services, there will also be great opportunity for these types of sharp
practice. We ask that you seek out recognised, or accredited or highly
recommended Astrologers for your own protection.
You
deserve a high standard of conduct when it comes to your personal life.
We
firmly believe and are passionate about the use of Astrology as a centuries
old observation of human beings to be used as an empowerment tool so that
thinking people can live better lives in realised hope and full responsibility
for their own choices, aided by a Professional and Ethical Astrologer
where that Astrologer is consulted for help and guidance.
