consulting work.

5. Devise a rapid and reliable way to have the materials that you need, including the client's
chart, ephemeris, graphic ephemeris, dials or whatever you use (either from your own

 Complete Setup –

Place, Equipment, setting your rates

Finding Your Spot
You are ready to start your work, now it's time to discover your spot. After all, you will have
to see clients somewhere. You have four options: your home, your clients' home or office,
your office, another public or private space. It is your look out what place suits you well.

It is imperative that your space should be private. Astrology is too powerful to be played
with. A casual astrologer can in ict much damage onto a client reading in a casual setting.
The most professional rule we can suggest our student is never look at a person's chart
casually or make an offhanded comment. You will certainly damage your credibility as an
astrologer, but more importantly, you may do some real damage to the other person.
 So, always prefer the place where you can concentrate at at work. See people at a
place that guarantees privacy. This is one way to avoid making a frivolous
investment.

In an office building, it is easy for your clients to picture you in the “I'm doing
business” mode. In the home, it can become too casual if you do not go to lengths to
keep it professional.

A personal informal survey we have made of astrologers (many of when were our
students) through the years has shown that astrologers who earn the least and
those who earn the most (more than $100,000 a year) practice astrology from their
home. It may be that the astrologers who have little experience are forced to work
from their home and the astrologers that are very well paid do so out of choice and
close identi cation with their work.
 Equipment
Astrology is an art and science based on certain calculations and tools. Today's
astrologers require certain equipment to have a cost-effective and versatile
practice. As a minimum, you should have a computer, printer and a telephone or
mobile phone.

It takes time to learn how to use a new piece of software or a new computer and
other equipments. It may be very difficult for you to factor the time of learning a
new system into your procedures. But in this particular niche these equipments
play essential role. Learning latest methodology can help you to boost your career
in the eld of Astrology.
 Setting Your Rates

Setting your rates is imperative thing to do prior to starting your work in Astrology.
How to set your rates? It is determined by how much your work is worth to others. It's
all about reliability and trust factor. If lots of people come to see you and pay you to
opt a perfect advice and solution, then it should be worthy. If no one comes to see
you or just a few do, you have set your rates too low or too high.

Rather than adjusting your rate to meet a client's nancial needs, it's better to heal
your client's pocketbook through your work. If money is their chief concern, then
concentrate on helping them get more of it and handle it better. It is good to do work
for free once in a while, to donate a certain amount of your time to volunteering your
professional services. It is a sane principle and will possibly help others become
familiar with good astrology and see the good that astrologers can do.
Make your policies having to do with money very clear to your clients. The mode of
payments should be clear to the client. Whether you want to take online payment or
by cash or through cheque, it is your responsibility to make them aware of it.

Your preferred way of working is very important in Astrology. Until you know your
own stride, keep your astrological reading light, short, and reasonable. This will allow
you to present an honest, sincere, and positive picture of yourself and your work.
Further, you become affordable to a large client base. Charge Rs. 200 for 15 minute
readings and you become an instant success. Everyone can afford you, and you can
do 20 appointments a day! This requires some real work with the issue of boundaries
and time, but this is one fast way to success. We have seen some astrologers do this
and succeed. This is one winning formula.
Those of you who need more time than a 15 minute session can try working in 30
minute or 45 minute or one-hour segments. You will need to charge enough for
your work so that you will be able to survive, of course. Remember, if you have an
interactive consulting style requiring sessions to last one hour, your practice will
very more slowly. Your work will cost more because it requires more time and, by
the nature of interactive dialogue, it will require more commitment from the
client. It's very important that you have a clear picture in mind as to what you want
to achieve with your client and how you want to achieve it.
 Build Your Brand

Marketing is the foremost thing in any business niche. If you have a good
reputation in market then only people will hire you for your services.
Brand awareness plays a vital role in the success of your business. Firstly
build a perfect and suitable brand image through your work and reliable
services. A little advertisement and promotion can enhance or amplify
your business.
 Increase Your Penetration

When you develop a Business Plan, be sure to include time and money each
year for your continuing education. As Astrology is so vast and you can learn
every day a new concept. Your knowledge is what produces income in
astrology. Your mind is your most valuable equipment; it is your factory, your
means of production. What you know goes down in effectiveness if you are not
making some conscious effort to improve it on a daily basis.

Keep on learning is a major need in every profession and service. Be keen to

ration time and money for this process. The investment that you make in your
own education before and during the practice of astrology is such an
important investment. Most successful astrologers will invest thousands of
dollars in their initial education and several thousand more annually. Very few
of us will ever invest this much in equipment or other factors.
 Building Your Practice:
The All-Important Client Base

Treat every client with your full attention and patience. It will take a while to build a
practice by word of mouth, but it is the only way to ensure the roots of your work go
deep enough so that you will always have plenty of work. You must be the best listener
you can be. The rst two years
of practice will be slow for
most people, but as your
work improves in quality
and when your brand gets
popularity then you will
enjoy your success &
populations.

Your work is a
combination of proven
methodologies. Set
some boundaries, like
when client meets you on the street,
don't talk to them about their chart or anything allied to this matter. This
is a very important way to set boundaries that will allow your client to respect your
work and help you to maintain a psychological balance and perspective on your own
life. Get a higher and higher return rate of old clients.
Every client who visited you to opt your services will eagerly want to see you again
at least once a year, just for an update, which means that every new client will be a
growth in your practice. Obviously, after ve years of practice, you will have more

If your memory is not excellent, you should sustain notes on every client's session,
during the consultation. Written notes help you to build an inner bridge of
achievement.

Set up an annotated data base with the client's address and birth information in
your computer. This allows you to see when you last saw the person and review
what you talked about. You can use the information to mail them a birthday card
which will remind them that it is time to see you again.
 Astrologer's place in society

In our society Astrologer has made a well-respected and a reputed place. They
earn a lot of reputation through their work skills, reliability and trustworthy
services. They are helping the society by resolving people's issue on different
matter.

All the kings and royal families earlier had services of Astrologers who used to
guide them. Also in today's era there are so many families who took such services.
There were limitations earlier and only selected few could get their guidance, but
now all the people belongs to different-different eld like business community,
politicians, Government officers or employee or people working in private jobs,
seeking services of Astrologers. So the scope is very vast, there is sufficient
demand but proper trained Astrologers are limited.
