I will always ask for your date of birth as that gives me an idea as to where you are going from. And, if we have time I will also ask you for the other components necessary to do a complete chart I will need your date, place of birth AND the time of your birth. Usually on your birth certificate. I have become very adept at working a lot of then details in my head; and I also use Tarot Cards to confirm what I see in the chart.
Then I will begin to tell you what I see!! And, you are free to ask any questions.
