The astrologer-client relationship is at the heart of a successful professional astrological practice.
First published in the early 1990s, Between Astrologers & Clients grew out of Bob Mulligan’s years of experience as a practicing astrologer and teacher. At a time when most attention was focused on mastering the technical side of astrology, Bob recognized that another essential skill was often overlooked: understanding the human relationship at the heart of every consultation.
Drawing on decades of experience, personal reflections, and lessons learned in the consulting room, Bob explores the challenges and opportunities that arise between astrologer and client. The book examines boundaries, communication, money, ethics, responsibility, expectations, and the many subtle dynamics that shape a consultation.
More than a guide to professional practice, Between Astrologers & Clients is an exploration of how working with clients can become a path of growth and self-understanding for the astrologer as well as the client.
Now, in this 2nd Revised Edition, Bob’s pioneering work is available to a new generation of astrologers.

A must-read for astrologers who want to deepen both their professional practice and their understanding of the people they serve.

“I got your book, read it, and loved it. I think you did a great job dealing with a very necessary subject for anyone thinking about developing a professional astrological practice. You can quote me on that :-)).”
— Ray Merriman – Astrologer, former president of ISAR, and author of “Evolutionary Astrology” and “The Solar Return Book of Prediction”
“In this important book, Bob Mulligan has opened to creative discussion the entire area of the consulting experience. He brings clarification, thoughtfulness, ethical soundness and emotional literacy to bear on the powerful interactions that occur ‘Between Astrologers and Clients’.
— Melanie Reinhart – Astrologer, author of “Chiron and the Healing Journey”
“What a great read! As I delved into the pages, felt I was privy to all the years of experience and growth of one of the most respected astrologers and consultants in our field. It should be in every astrologer’s library and referenced often.
— Chris McRae – Astrologer and author of “Understanding Interceptions,” and “The Geodetic Equivalent Method of Prediction”
“This book, while an easy read, challenges the reader to consider one’s personal philosophy and practice. This is a book that the serious counseling astrologer will return to often. It belongs on the astrologer’s reference shelf. One final note about this book: Bob leaves us with the idea that in the midst of all this, keeping a sense of humor is important.
— Reviewed by Alice Kashuba – In the Career Astrologer
“One of the great finds for me at the UAC congress was an astrology book that I found so good, that I have already started discussions with the author to have it translated in my language (Dutch). It is a book I can recommend to all advanced CHTA students (and other astrology students of course:-), namely those contemplating an astrology practice in the future, or for those who are already counseling others with astrology: Bob Mulligan’s ‘Between Astrologers & Clients.’
