What is astrology

III

Astrology can help. The initial personal consultation from a sincere, professional astrologer is a good step to make. Your astrologer will provide you with a vital, new understanding of yourself. You will be amazed with how much useful information you will acquire from a good astrological consultation.

Astrology is not a one-shot[1] deal; it is a constant light. Regular sessions with your astrologer bring cumulative benefits. At a minimum[2], treat yourself to a yearly tune-up[3]. Birthdays are great times for tune-ups. Better yet, check in and tune up with each new season; spring, summer, autumn and winter. Allow your astrologer to provide you with regular counseling and coaching. Good astrologers don't come cheap, but they do provide great value for the money.

In this age of information, your astrologer can be your "edge[4]." If from each session you get just one good idea and put it into action, you will change your life, for the better. It will encourage you to stay motivated and focused on what really matters the most to you. That is an appropriate utilization of willpower and a great destiny. Go for it[5].

 

   


注释:

[1]One-shot:
one-shot在口语中的意思是"一次性的,一次完成的",那么文中的one-shot deal就表示"一次性交易",还有像宾馆里的一次性的洗漱用品也可以用这个词,比如tooth brushes for one-shot use就是指一次性(用了一次就扔弃的)牙刷。

[2]Minimum:
做事要有限度,maximum是最大限度,而minimum则是"最小限度,最少量"的意思。At a (或the)minimum就表示"至少,起码"。

[3]Tune-up:
听收音机时常会有信号不稳、杂音等现象,需要tune调谐、调整频率以便收听。当然tune的作用也不仅限于此,tune-up就可以表示(为使机器达到最佳性能或某人达到最佳状态而作的)调整,调节,准备活动。

[4]Edge:
Edge原意是"边缘",在这里指"优势",取得优势是obtain the edge,失去优势是lose the edge,要是在比赛中仅以微弱优势险胜就可以说win by a narrow edge。

 

 
 
 

星相学可以帮助我们。向一位诚恳、专业的占星家进行个人咨询--这是个很好的开端。占星家会让你对自己有一个很重要的、全新的认识。你一定会吃惊于自己能从一次好的星象咨询中得到那么多的有用信息。

占星不是一次性的交易,它是道永恒不变的光芒。定期与你的占星家会面会给你带来日积月累的收益。至少,你应该每年进行一次自我调节。而生日就是这种调节的大好时机。但是更好是能在每一季:春夏秋冬都能够进行调节。让占星家为你提供定期的建议和辅导。好的占星家都要价不菲,但他们的确让你感到物有所值。

在当今的信息时代,你的占星家可能就是你的"优势"。如果你能从每次会晤中哪怕只得到一个好想法并付诸行动,你就能改变自己的生活。它激励你保持活力并专注于对你来说真正重要的的事物。那将是对意志和重大命运的适当利用。尽管去试试看吧。

    [5]Go for it:
这是一句短促有力的鼓动性的话,在观看激烈的橄榄球比赛时,观众常会激动地高呼Go for it! 加油啊!当你的朋友畏缩不前时,你也可以鼓励他Go for it. 大胆地试一试,冒一次险吧。
