Maniac, if you want to be a professional astrologer, the first thing to do is master natal astrology. Know it inside and out. Read everything you can find, and cast hundreds and hundreds of charts and interpret them, and get feedback. Do this with people you have never met, who you know nothing about, until you can correlate what is what and be at least 80 to 90% accurate even when you never met or saw the person. And, you need to know why you are wrong if you are wrong, and be able to adjust your readings accordingly. Usually it'll be in polarity of expression; very hard to know that from the chart alone.

Then start studying relational astrology, and master at least one branch of that. You'll want to master both bi-wheel and Davidson chart interpretation.

Then start studying predictive astrology, and try to master at least one branch of that. Transits, progressions, and horary astrology are all great choices.

But you can be successful with just mastering natal astrology.

If you believe you are right, and it sounds like you are, definitely put your foot down, and pull in reinforcements if you need to. Don't back down. Get in her face and make her respect you and your position.
