Can you help me pick a good wedding date?
Steven does not do wedding electionals (choosing the best date). His schedule is booked up to three years ahead, so our best advice if you're trying to find the best date for a wedding, to open a business or move or apply for a job, etc., is to schedule a reading with one of our excellent Forrest-trained astrologers.
Where can I buy astrological software?
Steven uses Matrix Winstar and also Solar Fire.
If you’re on a Mac, try Time Passages by Astrograph.

You can purchase this software from Matrix Software.
Where can I buy the software that runs your “The Sky We Share” and “The Single Sky” reports?

What is Evolutionary Astrology?
Visit our Evolutionary Astrology page for a definition.
I’d like to set up my own astrological practice. Do you have any advice?
The best resource we know of is Robert Blaschke’s A HANDBOOK FOR THE SELF-EMPLOYED ASTROLOGER. This practical book will address all of the concerns you have as you become a self-employed astrologer: transitioning from a student to a professional; establishing a professional practice; handling income, expenses and taxes; marketing and advertising; navigating the client relationship; teaching and local public speaking; writing, publishing and lecture travel; participating in the astrological community; overcoming occupational hazards; fostering personal and spiritual growth; notes for astrologers in the UK and Australia; and more.
How important is it to give you my correct birthtime?
VERY IMPORTANT! Sometimes even five minutes can make a significant difference in a birthchart. Please be certain of the accuracy of your birth data if you’re getting a report or a reading.
How can I find my birthtime?
In the US, sometimes the state recorded the time, even if it isn’t on the birth certificate. Visit our Where to Order Birth Certificates page for details. That page also has some information for Europe. If you’re adopted and all you want to know is your birth time, the internet is a great source of information. Google “adoptee information” or something similar, and see what you can locate.
What if I still can’t find my birth time?
Seek out an astrologer who does chart rectification. We recommend Shirley Waram, or Steven’s ex-wife, Jodie Forrest. It is a good idea to explore every other possibility first (relatives’ memories, baby books, relatives’ diaries, hospital records, etc.) to verify your birth time or at least get a ballpark figure for it. Why? Because rectification isn’t foolproof, and because its accuracy will vary with the time frame within which you were born. What does that mean? For example, if you know you were born between noon and 2 p.m., the rectification will probably be more accurate than if you know you were born between noon and 4 p.m. Still, sometimes finding a birth time is impossible. If you’ve tried everything with no success, a good rectifier can “work backwards” through astrology’s predictive techniques to find a chart that would have accurately predicted the timing of various biographical events. Before you contact someone, make a list of at least two dozen emotionally or developmentally significant dates in your life, along with brief descriptions of them–“got married,” for example.
How can I get into the astronomy side of astrology? Do I need an expensive telescope?
The popular astronomical writer, Jim Mullaney, has taught joint astrology-astronomy classes with Steven. Here’s a link to a great article he wrote about all the ways you can get into observing.

Will Seven Paws Press publish my manuscript?
Possibly. If you have something in the works, feel free to contact Tony.
Why is your press called Seven Paws Press?
The inspiration for the business name came from Steven’s cats. Steven once had two cats, one of which was a spoiled, affectionate, three-legged, one-eared, talkative Wise Elder Cat named Vincent, who will probably be human in his next lifetime. He left this world on July 29, 2000, and will be missed. Rest in peace, Vincent the Cat.
Why did Steven Forrest and Jeffrey Wolf Green once call themselves “The Pluto Brothers”?
Steven and Jeffrey both wrote books about Pluto before they began teaching together. After working together, they also co-authored two astrology books (which are now out of print): Measuring the Night: Evolutionary Astrology and the Keys to the Soul, Volume 1 and Volume 2, based on a series of lectures they gave together. To learn more, read Hadley Fitzgerald’s interview with Steven and Jeffrey, “The Pluto Brothers Measure the Night”
