Congenital disorders cannot be seen in the chart. An organising principle is thought to be working during the astrological consultation. The time a certain person visits a certain astrologer is not accidental. If a consult is to be succesful, it is just as important that the astrologer is open to intuitive guidance as that he possesses professional skills. Only a minority of astrologers think that interpreting the chart without knowing the client is possible or useful.
Many astrologers use one or more other techniques beside astrology.
There are different systems of delineating a chart which are each valid for the astrologer who is experienced in using that specific system of delineating. Half of the respondents believe that those parts of the delineation which remain obscure to the client will be ignored by him. By visiting an experienced astrologer so much remains that is worth while, that a few of these unaccepted remarks do not matter. Most respondents think scientific research of astrology is senseless for diverging reasons of which none are shared by a majority. Many of the talks were about philosophy of science.
