Have you ever wondered what it is like to be able to forecast the future? This is precisely what a professional astrologer does every day of their working life. People turn to astrology for different reasons, sometimes out of curiosity, even for fun, but most people discover astrology when they do not know where else to turn, and then they find themselves entrusting the astrologer with their most personal problems and most intimate secrets. The astrologer who usually knows nothing about the client beforehand must rely solely on the principles of ancient art and the position of the planets to guide them. The author, a renowned Russian astrologer with more than 30 years of experience, shares insights into the influence of the planets in our lives drawing on the striking stories of clients with whom she worked during the so-called 'turbulent 90s' both in her native Republic of Kyrgyzstan and later in Moscow.
