Astrology as a Business
Documenting the Reading
This is up to you. Most astrologers tape-record the
reading, either in person or over the phone, and then
see that the client gets the tape or a copy of it. A taped
interview gives the client a chance to go over the areas
of the consultation that interest them most, areas that
perhaps went over their head during the moment of the
reading and thus were missed. It also protects you from
being misquoted, and it can save on the necessity of
follow-up phone calls made to verify with you whether
they heard something right. In particular, hard to
remember things, such as dates, can be pulled off the
tape. Taping seems to be a good thing, and is almost
universally done.
With this said, I will point out that I am one of those
astrologers who also like to write out interpretations for
a client. I got into this habit way back at the beginning,
when there were not enough ‘knock-on-my-door’ clients
