Making a Recorded Astrology Reading for a Long-Distance Recipient

The other day, my friend Rene and I made a recording as a birthday reading for another friend of mine, "Merlin" of Florida Psychic Cruises. 

As very newbie astrologers, this brings about some degree of apprehension. Doing a reading without a live client in your presence feels a little bit like jumping off a cliff with only a paper bag as your parachute. You have to really hold on the archetypes, because that's all you got! 

We had a go around the person's chart, including their progressions and transits and of course their solar return chart since it's a birthday reading. Rene has a very soothing voice and way about what she says. She drops pearls of wisdom along with the interpretation. 

Without a client there, I noticed myself projecting an image of this person in my mind's eye. This helped me to humanize the experience and remember ultimately we're communicating with another person and not just reading off signs from a piece of paper. Hopefully we'll both get some feedback as to how it was received. 

Rene and I noticed a lot of times we had to start and stop the reading, to chat about certain aspects on her chart or discuss something, and thanks to Apple's GarageBand, we were able to seamlessly blend several fragments together to make a nice composite track. My only complaint is that it exports it's in a weird .m4a format, which I guess is OK but I'm not sure about it's total compatibility. So I also import into iTunes and then convert into .mp3 as well. You never know what type of systems people and running so I always like to give several options.
