ISAR is dedicated to encouraging the highest standards of quality in astrology. We do that in several ways: by offering a certification program that emphasizes ethics awareness, competence in techniques and interpretation, and empathic consulting skills; by promoting data accuracy and the reporting of original sources; by networking with other organizations to provide the best astrological educational services available anywhere; by sponsoring research to help build the body of proven scientific evidence relevant to astrology; by issuing a professionally written Journal and a weekly e-newsletter.
ISAR provides members with several benefits. Its journal, The International Astrologer, mailed three times per year, provides thought-provoking and educational articles with a variety of astrological perspectives. The weekly e-newsletter allows each member to share ideas, ask for help, or provide perspective. Membership includes reduced admission fees to conferences, a free biennial membership directory, and a free annual astrological pocket calendar. Perhaps most important of all is the sense of community that members share as we work together on our common goal of promoting professionalism in astrology.

ISAR Consulting Skills Training at OPA and UAC |
|
ISAR will be conducting its much acclaimed ISAR Consulting Skills Training at the OPA Astrologer’s Retreat (OPA) and at the United Astrology Conference (UAC).
This is a 16-20 hour intensive training designed to give astrologers basic listening and empathy skills that facilitate the astrologer-client relationship in the consulting session. Integrated with the basic principles of chart interpretation, these active listening and communication skills provide the astrologer with ability to respond to clients’ most personal thoughts and feelings and in this way help clients be fully understood. Emotional and content understanding is a key ingredient in forming a trusting relationship with our clients and to respond in a way to impart astrological information with compassion, understanding and sensitivity by “being with” your client. |
