Why the rates are so high?

It takes over 10 years to learn throughly natal, timing and locational astrology and I will be learning for the rest of my life and astrologer’s journey. I’ve invested thousands of dollars into my education which I still need to cover.

As an astrologer I work with life-changing situations and questions that can make or break someone’s experience. The level of responsibility and risk is insanely high!

I’ve put over 6000 hours into astrology practice, and still love doing it, even if the amount of $ per hour is very low. When people see a certain amount of fee, they do not even think of what it takes the astrologer to be able to offer that service (to find time and energy , and the courage for that).

Since YouTube and AI became so popular, the value of astrologer’s consultations became lower imo. Which is not always fair. In reality, people follow advice for astro*carto*graphy lines and have terrible experience in those places or unexpectedly have some better one in a place where they did not expect to find anything good. That is because you need to analyze a LOT of charts and maps to synthesize it all together, it is really many puzzles united in a bigger puzzle.

It takes a talent, dedication, years of experience, many case studies, ability to see the big picture and feel where a person is in their life and what they are actually looking for (even when they are not fully sure themselves). It takes intuition as well to estimate how favorable the place is for someone / something.

Sometimes I want to give it up and just do natal astrology and research…

When you devide each consultation’s fee for the amount of hours of work put in (let alone learning and expenses) you’d ask the other question:

Why the fee is so low? 

yes, for the value that an astrological consultation can give and how much money it can save and stress it can eliminate, the fee imo should be over $1000 at minimum.

I am raising my rates actually because it is otherwise not sustainable, with the in-depth approach and speed of work that I am working with.

In the future I might only work on teaching projects and offering transformation packages with both astrology and counselling.

I always recommend – start learning astrology, at least the basics of the natal and some timing astrology like transits, progressions, solar returns. This will give you a good base even when you are taking a consultation with another astrology, you will understand the astrology vocabulary / jargon much more and can observe astrological influences every day, month, year to see them in dynamic development.

For natal astrology, there are many affordable options to learn, even for free on Youtube (with some guidance you can expand your knowledge and process locational strology at a very different level).

See the other question for information about  tutoting / mentorship.

I occasionally work with freelancers, entrepreneurs, and small business owners.

My focus is not on predicting outcomes, but rather on exploring whether astrological factors—such as your natal chart, business chart (incorporation date/time/place), timing, and locational influences—might be contributing to challenges or opportunities.

Rates vary depending on complexity, preparation, and consultation time.

Hourly rates are USD $35/hour for preparation and USD $195/hour for online consultation.

A limited number of research sessions may be available under special conditions, sometimes combined with life coaching or counselling.

Note:

Business astrology is complex and less researched than natal astrology. Many factors influence business success, and astrology is just one lens. If your needs are outside my experience, I can refer you to a qualified colleague.

Therare 3 main reasons why I can work only with people who are willing to disclose their identity:

1) to validate that they are a real adaquate person. I am an empath, and HSP and quite sensitive to people’s energies. So it is for my own comfort and safety as an anti-spam / anti-scam protection. There are many fake, scam or strange Facebook accounts as well as emails. So I need to make sure my privacy and information is protected. 

Linked-in is fine as well.

If you are not on social media, you’d have to have a photo in your whatsapp or telegram and to send a photo of yourself as a child, teenager and adult (web version is fine). I do not need to keep those photos, yet it helps a bit.

2) to check the connection visually (estimating compatibility), this is actually for your benefit as well, because it ensures some intuitive connection – I am not a phychic, yet I do use my intuition apart from analytical astrological consulting also “reading from the field” so to speak. In majority of cases in my life when I had a strange feeling about collaborating with someone, my intuition it proved to be right (even when I did not listen to it). And often  can guess for example tough aspects in synastry (compatibility of charts) from videos or real life communication, especially if I can hear the person speaking.

Having said that to refuse a consultation I’d have to have a very strong reason and it hasn’t happened before unless something is out of my expertise, then I’d refer you to another astrologer or therapist).

3) when I see social media, the pictures and videos I can guess a bit easier whether the Ascendant of your chart matches more or less your personality. This is pretty subjective, however still helps to trust the birth time, especially if AC is on the cusp or if time of birth is approximate.

I do not offer rectification however I use my own method of psychological rectification.

Thank you for asking! As mentioned in other Q&A and the website,  I am mainly working now with people who agree to take part in the research (meaning that you will agree your charts and life stories / experiences to be used as examples for research-related publications and conference talks, as well as educational materials (you can keep your name or choose to be anonymous).

I am (slowly) doing research on a few subjects:

1) locational astrology

2) sleep patterns

3) (social) dancers research

4) synastry (compatibility in relationships)

5) horary astrology

6) astrology of the moment

Feel free to contact in which one you would like to take part in and I will give you information on the conditions and availability.

Yes! Feel free to contact me to discuss.

While there is no course on locational astrology yet (I’d like to collect more research cases before I offer that), I am happy to offer tutoring and mentorship to people who are ready to dedicate time to learning many nuances of locational astrology.

Knowing the fundamentals of natal and timing astrology is required or you can nake a series of private lessons on that first.

If you are a complete beginner, you can jump start learning astrology with me, however there will be homework and I might send even videos of other astrologers to watch, so that you can learn faster and in-depth.

Once you get the basics we can add locational astrology.

Rates vary from USD $65 to 155 per hour depending on the amount of lessons in a package and type of material, as well as prep work.

Each private lesson can be from 30 minute to 2 hours (in Zoom). Recordings can be provided on request.

If you are on a tighter budget but still want to learn in a small group, find a few people who are at a similar level of astrologer and I can offer classes for specific needs of the group.

Same thing applies to focus groups, e.g. looking at specific influences in your natal charts, e.g. what affects finances or relationships, health etc.

Rates and program is TBD.

There are combinations of planetary positions and aspects in some natal and relocation charts that have a lot of complex aspects and dymics that can be intense to handle on your own.

Whether another astrologer told you that the chart is very difficult or you decided it yourself, the fact that you are interested in learning more about your chart(s) is already a step towards mitigations and healing. 

From my obervation and experience (both personal and professional), in some cases psychotherapy and other healing methods are beneficial to use together with astrology.

Planets are archetypes, they are part of your internal world and understanding  your own needs, wants, mood swings, cycles and inner conflicts inside and with other people can help you to be more self-aware.

Learning astrology beyond cook-books and cliche “stand alone” descriptions can also help to observe and learn through using various timing techniques over natal like transits, progressions, solar return and some other. As well as locational influences matter a a lot as another layer of your personal story (stories). 

Of course, it is your choice what to believe to. And yes there are people who are luckier in being born with a much more harmonious chart, however it is not a guarantee of a happy, meaningful, fulfilling life. 

By the natal chart alone, you cannot tell if a person is a multimillionnaire, an amazing artist or a “lost soul” who died from some addiction. There are so many factors on how things could play out, icluding your own choices, actions, behavior patterns and social conditioning, environmental influence.

Because I believe that it is important to check a few methods of locational astrology, usually I prefer not to give ACG readings as separate consultations, they are usually not enough to judge on the favorability of the place.

However, if you are a locational astrologer yourself and need a second opinion, we can take a look at ACG influences or any specific methods of locational astrology.

Similarly, if you are learning this specific method and want to check many places at the same time to “see the bigger picture”.

In terms of rates, contact with your questions for a quote.

PS in some cases when birthtime is known within 20-30 minutes or even less exact, it is not very helpful to check ACG lines as some of them might shift significantly depending on the birth time.

Some other methods of locational astrology  are less sensitive to a few minutes difference in birth time.

Rates and program is TBD.

There are combinations of planetary positions and aspects in some natal and relocation charts that have a lot of complex aspects and dynamics that can be intense to handle an decypher on your own. Lots of things are in the subconscious mind and some “patterns” are transgenerational or even might be from your past lives’ experience (if you believe in that).

Whether another astrologer told you that the chart is very difficult or you decided it yourself, the fact that you are interested in learning more about your chart(s) is already a step towards mitigation and healing. 

From my observation and (personal and professional) experience, in some cases psychotherapy and other healing methods are beneficial to use together with astrology, as well as various types of mitigations, remediations.

Planets are archetypes, they are part of your psyche, internal world and each person has their own path. Understanding  your own needs, wants, mood swings, cycles and inner conflicts inside and with other people can help you to be more self-aware.

There are so many factors on how things could play out, icluding your own choices, actions, behavior patterns and social conditioning, environmental influence.

 So don’t rely on opinion of 1 person or some interpretations online. Keep learning and consult a few astrologers, especially those who are also psychotherapists.

Because I believe that it is important to check a few methods of locational astrology, usually I prefer not to give ACG readings as separate consultations, they are usually not enough to judge on the favorability of the place.

However, if you are a locational astrologer yourself and need a second opinion, we can take a look at ACG influences or any specific methods of locational astrology.
