Some advisers will predict death. Would you tell a client if you thought they might die?
Leslie Hale
Probably not. I have been asked this before and refused. I might if I knew the individual extremely well and knew they could handle the answer. But, I don't know anyone on Keen that well. I think it is important to live life to the fullest. Many readers know my husband passed away on 04. I had a reader--not on keen--tell me he had a year to live. I counted down the months to that very day with dread--he lived 3 more years. I predicted his death myself and there was actually a reader who did predict the time frame and she was accurate. I did appreciate that. I have predicted death on Keen of a callers family members, but only if I am certain (as certain as you can be) and only if I believed the individual was psychological able to handle the answer based on having known them for a while. Basically, I do not like predicting death; I prefer to focus on life.
So what should a caller know to expect when they call you? What information should they have ready?
Leslie Hale
A caller should know that I will do the best I can to answer their question honestly, good or bad. They need their own or anyone else's birthday, place and time if available. Then I will create a chart that becomes their personal natal chart based on the information they give me and I can begin to read it.
Do you prefer phone calls / emails/ chats?
Leslie Hale
I prefer phone calls as they are the most cost effective. I might consider an email reading and have before, but by and large a call is the most effective way. An email reading can take a lot of time to prepare. I have not yet tried chat as I am not sure this is effective for an astrologer.
Yes nothing replaces an old fashioned phone call!
Leslie Hale
amen to that!
Do you mind sharing your sun/moon/asc signs?
Leslie Hale
Not at all. I am a Cancer through and through --Sun, moon, Mercury in Cancer and a Libra asc.
You cover a lot of news stories in your blogs. What are your favorite news sources?
Leslie Hale
I like CNN, Huff post, any source really, sometimes the offbeat ones--Rolling Stone, the Smoking Gun..to name a few
Food is important to a Cancer - what are your favorite foods?
Leslie Hale
Food can be a Cancer's downfall! I love seafood, ethnic foods, trying new things as long as it is healthy. Cancer often has to watch their weight!!\
Do you read other things besides the news? Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction?
Leslie Hale
And with Jupiter about to enter Cancer--Cancer's beware..lol this can be weight gain..
Leslie Hale
I am a history buff and like anything historical..and of course other astrologers newsletters from all over the world. When I said I eat, sleep and breath astrology, I am not kidding..lol
ha ha I think to be a good astrologer - you have to have a passion for it.
Leslie Hale
yes, I have for a long time. Some people think we are too serious though..they might be surprised though at times..
Leslie Hale
and you do have to have a passion. Without the fire in the gut so to speak, and the yearning for knowledge it goes nowhere
Last question! Looking into the future, what do you see Leslie Hale doing?
Leslie Hale
I see myself right here one Keen and probably doing a lot more publishing in the future.
Any last words before we sign off?
Leslie Hale
I've enjoyed the interview and hope it was informative. In my readers I will always try to be honest and tell it the way I see it. Life is a never ending journey...to be enjoyed. It’s not the destination so much, but the trip there.
Thank you Leslie!!
