What is it?
Chelvam Alfred is a Melbourne-based astrologer and palm-reader. In an intensive and detailed session, Chelvam starts by explaining how he came to practice astrology, palmistry, acupuncture and fung shui, and help women with fertility problems. He says it's his 'passion'. Unlike some readers, he doesn't expect clients to give him information as he goes along - he prefers to use what he learns from their palms and astro-profiles. All he needs is your birth date, place and time.
What was it like?
There was a lot of astro-speak that went over my head such as where Saturn is during March and why Jupiter is aligned in the 11th house. Some of his timeline findings are correct, such as past relationships, children's characters and big changes in my life, such as moving countries. Nothing he says is obviously wrong, and some of what he says about my past is quite accurate - if memory serves me correctly. As for the future, Chelvam says palm lines change over time, so he doesn't like to give predictions beyond 12 months.
What he says about my career path is encouraging, although it's nothing I couldn't have deduced myself. From what he says, my eldest son will be a lady killer and my youngest a sportsman. Apparently, I need to lower my expectations when it comes to men. All in all, the reading was enjoyable, enlightening and, at times, believable. He took his time and there was no feeling of being rushed.
