About Darleen Christopher of Christopher's Lamp

     I once read on Facebook how a careless, incompetent astrologer made an inappropriate declaration that seemingly sealed someone's fate through the misuse of information. They unconscionably claimed that the person would "struggle with finances until mid-life." How egregiously unethical, uneducated, disempowering, uninformed, and simply incorrect!

     It is not the role of an astrologer to incite fear! An astrologer’s job is to help people see the light, guiding them gently to understand the ebbs and flows of life. An intuitive advisor’s responsibility is to show that our challenges are often our greatest gifts, leading others toward the path of least resistance, where the soul is naturally inclined to thrive. We help translate external transformations that mirror internal growth and consciousness.

     My role is to inspire the possibility that exists when we dare to imagine. An astute astrologer’s job is to clarify how events, characters (including our greatest spiritual teachers—those who challenge us to open our hearts even further), and the timing of it all contribute to our growth. These "soul contracts" often appear "scheduled," offering vast opportunities to evolve, forgive, and offer grace. They should never instill fear that leads to anxiety. Not one of my clients leaves in fear. If I haven’t empowered my clients, led them to profound understanding, and possibly saved them years of therapy, then I haven’t done my job. If that person who received the horrible forecast believes it, they may create that reality. 

     When a person dedicates themselves to service with love, without concern for material matters, they will be taken care of with grace and abundance. They will never have to worry about finances again, regardless of what an inept fortune-teller may say.

     I won’t always tell you what you want to hear, but I won’t tell you things I wouldn’t want to hear myself. I am not here to inspire fear but to show you the path of love. I won’t tell you that you have a curse and need to burn a candle or pay money to clear a “black cloud” like so many people do. I don’t believe in that, nor do I subscribe to spellbinding, curses, or any scam. I once heard that voodoo only works if you believe in it. I don’t believe you can manipulate or “will” someone to love you or pay someone to clear your energy. You cannot pay others to do your inner work.

     I aim to guide, not to insist on what you "must" do. Life is a journey, and we move through it step by step.
