Complaint Review: Equinox Astrology

I ordered a transit analysis based on my personal information. Instead, I got a cookbook version of general transiting that could apply to anyone. I spoke with Mr. Robert Currey and found him to be unwilling to stand behind the products he is selling or make whole my loss over this bait and switch.

My take on this encounter is that he is some kind of a psychic and not a bona fide astrologer. I mentioned several specific astrological references and Mr. Currey seemed confused and unable to respond appropriately. I think he must read what Robert Hand writes with regard general transiting and then "wings it" in psychic telephone "consultations" for which he charges.

Mr. Currey told me that it was up to me to take this information and apply it to my own specific chart and situation; the exact thing I was paying him to do. Instead, what I received is a compilation that I could get free off the internet with free subscriptions of currently practicing astrologers.

While I have the utmost respect for Robert Hand and his lifetime of work, I am very put off by other people taking over, now that Robert Hand is in his 70's and doesn't maintain the practice he used to. This is like the American Hershey chocolate factory leasing the rights to use the English Cadbury chocolate name, meanwhile the Hershey manufacturing company is selling a chocolate that is tasteless and is remeniscent of candle wax instead of the supremely excellent milk chocolate that the Cadbury name was built on.

It seems to be that Mr. Currey has leased the use of materials and the renowned name of a true astrologer, Robert Hand, who is well known in astrological circles. The bait is the use of Robert Hand's name and being able to slave off general information about transits during any given period. The switch is that Mr. Currey is incapable of applying this information to any specific person appropriately and it totally unwilling to make whole any situation where the customer is disatisfied.

I was looking for something very specific and when I complained to Mr. Currey, he was ONLY interested in saving the sale. On the one hand he told me that "Robert Hand doesn't sit at a typewriter and type these things up for you," and then he told me it was up to me to apply the materials in any way I saw fit. And when I challenged him about my having to submit my birth information as a basis for this information, he changed his story and said that the information I had been sent was specific to me alone.

I consider Mr. Robert Currey a charlatan in that he was unable to respond appropriately to my specific astrological references or the application of the materials he is selling, and I cannot recommend him or Equinox Astrology to anyone. Mr. Currey gives astology and astrologers a bad name.

I would also say that Robert Hand would be well advised not to lend his good name to people who care nothing about the clients they serve, and who demonstrate precious little understanding of the application of general transits to specific people.
