B Y M ARINA P OZDERINA M any acquaintances, espe- cially those who know me as a representative of the technical world and an engineer through and through, are astonished that I am also an as- trologer. “How can it be?” they ask. But this only seems strange at first. After having worked at a plant I realized that even the best technical education cannot answer many life questions. I decided to make good this deficit by studying astrology. Once I had this ambi- tion, the opportunity was not long in com- ing. Soon I completed astrology training with Dmitry Paramonov. As a Russian saying goes, “It is tales that are quickly spun, deeds are sooner said than done.” Of course, I needed time to master the new subject. But then a miracle oc- curred. My technical education helped me. I discovered a corre- spondence between production approaches, techniques and methods and those used in as- trology. For example, you should find the major source of prob- lems both in a birth chart and an electric circuit to figure out why this or that electronic chip goes wrong or why a person should modify his/her life in a particular sphere to work out the whole process. This persuaded me that astrology is not an abstract concept, but a key to my problems. So my technical education has become a basis for studying astrology, due to which I was able to master the astrological knowledge efficiently and fast. So what do technical subjects have in common with astrology? It turns out that there are a lot of things in common. An- swers are given by the subjects that are far from astrology: system analysis and decision O P A  making, system modeling, programming theory and technology, methods of neural network programming etc. Astrology can be considered as a system containing as many different models as a person, social media, out world, etc. Models can be logical, actable, discrete, imitative and others. Since there is a system, there should be key-notes of the system approach, such as long-run objective approach, unanimity, principle of connectedness, simulative approach etc. How can an astrologer use the system ap- proach? Due to the system approach we can draw out the scheme of chart interpre- tation. M oreover, every astrologer can draw out his/her own scheme. So I drew out my own scheme. Due to this I made the chart ingress automatic. A faster horoscope adjustment saves time for solving particular customer’s problems. In such a manner, the sys- tem approach is a natural method of solving theoreti- cal and real-world prob- lems. I regret to say that most of people neglect this fact. In engineering, system ignorance brings about a break down, in other spheres it produces needless conflicting views which can mislead even an expert. That is why I sug- gest examining the key-notes of the system approach. One of the key-notes is the long-run ob- jective approach. First of all, you should set a clear survey objective. Vague, uncertain and inarticulate objectives result in an incor- rect conclusion. People setting clear objec- tives are abler than those acting with no objective. Giving up objectives we decline The Organization for Professional Astrology 7 all responsibility and shift it to other shoulders. Having a clear objective we can easily work out our way to success. When succeeding, a person grows and improves. Here is an example. Our customer (a woman) is preoccupied by a following prob- lem: she cannot get married. I suggest examining this problem regard- ing the long-run objective approach. There- fore we should take the following steps. a) Examine the customer’s problem: what is not the customer happy with? Why? Is her objective real? b) Set an objective (define what result you want to have): give clear problem-solving recommendations. c) Define the resources that can help us solve the problem: necessary knowledge, finding the area in the birth chart that can help solve the problem. d) Adjusting the criteria of achieving the objective. We need facts and circumstances to understand if we achieved the objective, not to give up the decision taken and not to drift off the heading. e) Follow the adjusted scheme of interpret- ing the chart: get into the horoscope step by step, following the plan of reading the chart. First, get the general idea about the cus- tomer and sift the information needed for solving his/her problem. f ) An important issue is the responsibility of the astrologer in respect of a customer.
