Astrology as a Business
are absorbing what they can of it. This is all
straightforward.
Where it can become complicated is when additional
sessions are required. Astrologers do have follow-up
sessions, but they should not (in my experience) take
place for some period of time after the initial reading—
for a matter of months after, at least. If you receive a call
from a client, let's say a week after their first reading,
and they want to have another one, this is a sign they
may need a special kind of session, one which will be
more like therapy.
For one, you have just met with them and may not have
that much "new" to say them only a week or so later. If
this is their way of saying that they liked the whole
experience of the reading, or they can't remember what
you told them, this is perhaps a sign that repeated
sessions may be needed—something like therapy.
They may also want to repeat the experience just
because they liked it and also have plenty of
discretionary income. We all know that you can't repeat
anything exactly the same. First and fresh go together. If
you do have another session, in the same time period,
you can count on it being different from the first one.
For myself, I don't do this kind of therapeutic work. You
may think or feel differently. I point out, in that first
reading session, what I can, and make sure they take it
in—and that is it. The client must decide what to do with
this information, and take it from there. If they want to
come right back, I have nothing very different to tell
them a week or a month later; and, whatever cathartic
experience they had the first time usually cannot be
repeated so soon. This is when I tell them that what they
actually may need is therapy—repeated doses of
whatever it is they are looking for. I typically recommend
