The System Approach

sume responsibilities for the results of his / her work , he / she escapes from the customer ’ s problem solving .
g ) Take notes of the principal points of the consultation . This is a very important rule for an apprentice astrologer . The notes are of the facts and circumstances which engage , recall , and pushes forward .
While carrying out your work , be mindful of the objective . So our objective is to give an answer to the customer .
You seem to be at a dead-lock , as the objective is large and ambiguous . Nevertheless , it can be broken apart and we can achieve little objectives .
Step 2 is similar to the objective setting , but at this step the detailed study of the chart is very important . It is necessary to discover weak points at the chart , in other words areas covering the reasons for marriage problems . For example , we have discovered communication obstacles .

This step involves revision , synthesis , and conclusion , so the answer . The point is that trying to change the scheme of the objective can result in the whole system destruction . If the process outline is not clear , you run the danger of failing the result for different reasons . So before answering the question , it is very important to be sure that we didn ’ t fudge the information to match it with the problem . Therefore we examine the chart checking out the notes taken .
So why is it important to have clear objectives ? When you know clearly what you want , all your activity is well-ordered and objective-orientated . What can happen if an astrologer doesn ’ t want or cannot state his / her objectives ? It is not a big deal , of course . But he / she will pick the information randomly and a customer will not get a clear answer . Consequently , the time and money are gone with the wind .
The long-run objective approach consists of the following steps : 1 ) objective setting , 2 ) breaking apart the objective and 3 ) analysis of the work done . The advantage of this approach is in setting an objective and having a specific result . Achieving results motivates the future work and self-improvement .
