The Astrology Checklist: 10 Signs of a Reliable Practitioner

Recently, there has been growing discussion around the practices of some astrologers, with varying opinions on their credibility. Some newly prominent and even renowned astrologers have faced scrutiny over conflicting statements and incorrect predictions. Additionally, a series of multiple “final” predictions that have changed over time has contributed to the debate. As a result, many people are interested in understanding how to identify a trustworthy astrologer. While anyone can make predictions and occasionally get them right, true expertise involves much more. A credible astrologer should deliver predictions that are accurate, notable, valuable, timely, consistent, statistically significant, widely applicable, trustworthy, consequential and demonstrate humility.

1. Accuracy: Are the predictions precise and detailed?
2. Notability: Is the prediction unique, or could many others make the same claim?
3. Value: Does the prediction have the potential to save or improve lives, or contribute financially by saving or generating significant amounts of money?
4. Timeliness: Is the prediction released well in advance? Does it reflect early insight, free from public information about ongoing events?
5. Consistency: Does the astrologer have a proven track record of correct predictions over time? What is their success rate over the last 1, 3, and 5 years?
6. Statistical Significance: Could the prediction be an informed guess? What’s the statistical probability of their predictions — 50%, 25%, or 0.00005%?
7. Wide Applicability: Has the astrologer successfully predicted events across diverse fields like people, nations, elections, sports, finance, healthcare, space exploration, geopolitical affairs, military conflicts, natural disasters, etc.?
8. Trustworthiness: Is astrology a full-time profession for the individual, with real consequences for incorrect predictions? Many astrologers treat it as a part-time hobby without financial repercussions for being wrong. Would you trust someone who does this as a hobby, or someone whose livelihood hinges on accurate predictions?
9. Consequential Nature: Are the predictions impactful enough to alter the course of significant events or humanity?
10. Humility: Does the astrologer claim to be 100% accurate? True astrologers recognize that absolute certainty and infallibility are unattainable for humans. Only the Creator knows for certain what will manifest at any given time. What matters is the astrologer’s acceptance that they are merely a medium through which this divine spiritual science works. A humble attitude acknowledges that ultimate control is beyond human hands, and ego should not overshadow one’s practice, especially in the sacred field of astrology.

These criteria will help you discern genuine astrologers from those less reliable, enabling you effectively to separate the wheat from the chaff.
