The Role of Consultation Fees in Establishing Trust in Astrology
Many believe that by taking consultation fees for astrology predictions beforehand, astrologers test the faith and belief of a person in astrology. However, this belief is misguided. This article aims to clarify the true role of consultation fees in the process of astrological consultation and establish the importance of trust and respect in this field.
Why Consultation Fees Are Necessary
The logic behind taking consultation fees for astrology predictions is straightforward and rooted in practicality. Astrology, like any other profession, requires significant time, effort, and expertise to provide meaningful and accurate insights.
Consider my example: When someone seeks a consultation, it may take me 3 to 4 hours or more to analyze a chart and address the questions posed, especially for complex situations such as birth time rectification. Yet, there are individuals who expect free service and will not openly admit that they do not want to pay. Instead, they will ask to proceed with the analysis and then disappear, blocking my number. This is particularly common in telephonic or email consultations.
Trust and Faith in Astrology
When a person goes to an astrologer, it signifies their belief in the practice of astrology. There is no need to check whether they believe in astrology; the act of seeking a consultation is a clear indication of their faith in its efficacy. Therefore, it would be unfair and inappropriate to test someone's belief in astrology by asking for a fee upfront.
Paying the required fee in advance is a manifestation of faith in the astrologer. Unfortunately, many people take advantage of various online and offline consultations expecting free services. However, in the digital age, there are many instances where individuals take up consultations without committing to the payment. This is especially true in online consultations, where it is easier for people to vanish after getting their analysis.
Building Trust Through Fair Fees
In personal consultations, people generally expect the astrologer to request a fee for their services. They typically assume that the astrologer will analyze the kundali and share all necessary information, often practicing with lower fees. This is consistent with the behavior of many layman astrologers and online apps.
However, any educated person knowledgeable about astrology understands that studying a horoscope and its various divisional charts requires significant time and expertise. It cannot be done immediately. Astrologers respect this fact and charge a fee to cover their hard work, thereby motivating them to provide accurate and meaningful interpretations.
Building trust and respect in astrology is a gradual process. A practitioner's predictions coming true over time or recommendations from satisfied clients help to solidify trust. False publicity and artificial PR do not endure in this profession.
Consultation fees are not about testing faith or belief but rather about safeguarding the interests of the astrologer and ensuring they are motivated to provide quality work. Any educated astrologer knows that proper and thorough analysis takes time and effort. They pay the required fee with respect and wait for the astrologer to complete their analysis, ensuring they receive genuine and correct interpretations.
Ultimately, consultation fees play a crucial role in establishing a fair and mutually respectful relationship between the astrologer and the client, fostering a system of trust and transparency.
Key Takeaways:
Consultation fees are not a test of someone's belief in astrology. They are a way to establish mutual respect and ensure quality work. Paying upfront respects the astrologer's hard work and expertise. Trust and respect are built over time through accurate predictions and client satisfaction.By understanding the true role of consultation fees, clients can approach astrology with a more informed and respectful mindset, ultimately enhancing the quality of the consultation and the client's experience.
