Q&A Up Close and Personal with Pauline Edward: Answers to questions I am frequently asked:

How did you become interested in astrology?

Whenever asked, how did I get into astrology in the first place, I answer, Astrology found me. Evidently, it was my destiny. I was first introduced to the subject through the works of Edgar Cayce, and then, at the age of 14, while on a visit with my aunt in Quebec City, I had my first chart cast. It was love at first site! The thought that it was possible to look into the future… wow! I was immediately hooked! My passion was, and remains to this day, personal growth, healing and development. Astrology was the key for unlocking the personal potential that lies deep within each individual, and the roadmap for planning the exciting journey of self-discovery.

When I returned home from my visit with my astrologer aunt, I purchased my first astrology textbook, and began to draw up the charts of all the people I knew. Of course, to my deep chagrin, I soon learned that astrology was not an easy craft to master. Many years of life experience, self exploration, and healing would pass before I could begin to fathom the psyche of another human being. Despite my fair share of personal challenges, given my steadfastness and undying curiosity, I persisted. In 1984, I saw my first paying client.

Over 35 years, and thousands of charts later, I continue to marvel at the wonders of our limitless Universe, opened as a book for us to read through the lenses of astrology and numerology. The biggest lesson acquired during my apprenticeship to life is that we have the power to create our future, that it is not something to be predicted with unflinching accuracy. We can predict an upcoming trend and possible difficulties or opportunities, but at any given moment, the important thing to remember is that we always remain free to choose how we will act.

In 1997, I founded A Time for Success, which rapidly grew as a consulting practice, as demonstrated by its West Island of Montreal Chamber of Commerce Accolades 2003 award, which recognizes excellence in the business community. I maintain a practice in the Montreal West Island area, serving a broad clientele across Canada, the US and Europe. My approach is a fusion of resources from astrology, psychology, spirituality, business and coaching.

How many books have you written?

Actually, 5: The Power of Time, pub. Llewellyn, released Nov 2007, Astrological Crosses in Relationships, pub. Llewellyn, 2002, L'Hermes, coauthored with Marc Beriault and Axel Harvey, pub. Bxx Editeur, The Healer, an unpublished novel, and my most recent book, nearly finished.

What do I do when I'm not seeing clients or writing?

It's true that I do spend a lot of time working; it's one of the side effects of doing what you love. However, I do enjoy dance, my favourites are the triple swing and the cha cha, but an elegant fox trot is also very enjoyable. I'm hoping to one day find a new dance partner!

Other activities I enjoy include renovating my home, that's what happens with a fifty year old house! I've just finished renovating a meeting room in the basement. I also enjoy gardening--I love flowers--and photography.

Family plays an important role in my life and once a month we all get together for a family dinner. I am actually putting together a cookbook... I know, sounds like work... but we get to test all the recipes! The website for this project is: www.familyfriendsandfood.com. Family, Friends and Food is still in its early stages, but you can find some pretty cool recipes. Since I enjoy a good challenge, I like to take great tasting, but not-so-healthy recipes and turn them into something healthy. Check it out. Oh, and don't forget the blog!
