Astrology as a Business
they can take or leave what you may have had to say to
them; they are not so much at your mercy. The reading,
then, is something they bought and paid for, and,
therefore, they can do whatever they wish with it. I know
this is slightly contradictory to what I wrote earlier.
I guess I am of a mixed-mind about all this fee business.
In a perfect world, I would have the astrologer play the
role of the mentor, and the client the role of the student,
with the subject being: discovering your ‘self’ through
astrology. In that scenario, I don't see the need for
money, or any kind of barter. The experience itself is an
exchange, plain and simple.
I understand that the world is not quite that simple, and
that the mentor/student exchange is somewhat rare;
therefore, rather than giving much more advice on the
subject, I will leave you to decide when and how much
you charge for your services, or how you decide to
implement whatever method of barter you might come
up with.
