This group has been pretty idle lately, and as I always find myself with lots of free time at the end of the year, I tried to come up with a way to learn more, improve my chart reading skills while helping others and increasing group activity as well. I don't know if something similar has been done here before, but I propose a Chart Reading Game:
OVERVIEW
Participants will be divided in Astrologers and Applicants, their roles are self-explanatory. The game's objective is simple: give as many readings as possible with good accuracy and useful insights to Applicants, while Astrologers get to test and hone their reading skills with real charts.
Studying the charts of the rich and famous is good, but reading the charts of anonymous, everyday people can teach much more. Accurately reading any chart is what makes a true astrologer and practice makes perfect.
HOW IT WORKS
Applicants will anonymously send their charts to an email, which will be handled by me and the other Astrologers. The charts will then be picked by the Astrologers, who will compose a (preferably) small, concise reading. As soon as the Astrologer finishes the job, the reading will be posted here for everyone to see and comment.
RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS
For Applicants:
1. Anyone who wants to have their chart read should apply by sending a message to chartreading.game@... with the subject APPLICATION.
2. After applying, you should send your chart ANONYMOUSLY through http://www.astro.com
Go to Free Horoscopes Chart drawing, Ascendant for Guest Users enter your info with ANONYMOUS as the first name, correct gender and continue in the chart page, click Send Page at the top left corner Name Sender: ANONYMOUS, e-mail receipt AND sender should be chartreading.game@...
3. Applicants can send their charts until December 21st, 2012.
4. ONLY ONE chart per Applicant. If the number of applicants and charts aren't equal, the odd ones will be left out.
4.1. Should this happen, the latest charts received and not yet read by an Astrologer will be left out.
For Astrologers:
1. Anyone who wants to be an Astrologer may apply HERE, in this thread and then send a message to chartreading.game@... with the subject ASTROLOGER.
1.1. Astrologers will be given access to the email account and will find further instructions therein.
1.2. Astrologers MUST apply here as well. Anyone who fails to do this won't be given access to the account.
2. Anyone may apply, but please be reasonable. Only those who really think they can give helpful readings should opt-in.
3. Astrologers who also want to have their charts read should follow the rules for Applicants.
4. If possible, all charts should be processed until December 31st, 2012.
NOTES
This is a GAME with educational and entertainment purposes. All participants should take the readings given here as amateur. Anyone who wants to have their chart read by a professional should refer to High Priestess Maxine's services.
I have run some tests with Astrodienst's systems and everything seems to be fine and working well. I believe we can trust the system for securely and steadly sending and receiving charts, as well as mantaining anonimity.
Please let me know if you have any question or something to add.
