Before doing Readings…

Monday, November 14th, 2005

I often feel “nervous” before doing readings. Will I perform? Will they get what they need? In fact, I’m nervous not becuase I don’t think I will do well but there are so many pre-conceived notions of what a reader does and doesn’t do that it can be difficult. But I know that I a give a service that is helpful and what the person needs to hear because that’s how it works.

Anyway, just thought I might note that nervousness happens to the best of us and thankfully 9 times out of 10 everything goes well! 🙂 Of course, I worry about that 1 — blame it on my Capricorn rising or Virgo moon! lol

How much should I expect to pay for a Tarot or Psychic reading?

Monday, November 14th, 2005

Expect to pay between $40 and $200 Canadian for an hour, unless you go to a “celebrity”. In that case you can pay up to $1000 for a reading and they usually only do 1/2 hour readings. People will also often “tip” a reader for extra fine service though unlike wait staff this is “not” expected and really is a “thank you bonus”.

Celebrity readers are people who have media attention and have been written in books. Are they more accurate than the $40-$200 people? I really don’t think so. They are just good at marketing and getting themselves out there.

It’s a basic business principle of supply and demand. You supply the goods when people think/see you are in demand. haha Actualy it’s you can earn and sell more when you are in demand. But I like the first analogy! Chicken or the egg: Which can first? I say demand is *created* through the *appearance* of demand.

How I do private consultations: Tarot card readings, Oracles, Psychic Impressions, etc..

Monday, November 14th, 2005

Less than 10% of the reading is predicting and in fact, many readings have NO predictions.

I build a connection, read birthdates, lay cards, oracles, and other tools (in the order that is most natural at the time) to gain a better understanding of what a client and their situation is all about and then I may or may not go into predictions (or rather possible outcomes).

At that point, if the client doesn’t like what they hear, I’ll suggest actions they might want to try but ultimately it’s the clients choice and responsibility and even predictions (that the client doesn’t want to hear) are just possible outcomes.

What do you get out of this type of reading? Insight, Guidance, Advice, Choice, and Responsibility.
