Level 6: Business and Marketing

Q: How does Mercury in Sagittarius affect business communication?
A: Mercury in Sagittarius struggles with detailed communication but excels in big-picture thinking, making it ideal for storytelling and visionary leadership.
Q: What astrological indicators suggest success in marketing or online business?
A: Strong Mercury (communication), Jupiter (expansion), and Uranus (technology/innovation) placements are beneficial. 10th House planets indicate public influence, while 3rd House planets show communication skills.
Q: How can you identify aspects at a glance?
A: Use the element or modality. Trines are within the same element, squares share modality, sextiles are two signs apart, and oppositions involve directly opposite signs.
Q: Do specific placements indicate alignment with astrology as a profession?
A: Yes, aspects involving the 8th house, 9th house, and sometimes Uranus show alignment with astrology or occult professions.
Q: How do you explain astrology to someone who knows almost nothing about it?
A: Start by showing the birth chart, explaining the concept of planets’ positions at birth and how they interact with the individual. Avoid heavy jargon and instead focus on the client’s experience.
Q: Do you adapt your approach based on the client’s chart, like focusing on Mercury for communication style?
A: Yes, adjusting the communication style based on the client’s chart can help. This might mean speaking more logically to clients with strong Mercury or practically to those with earthy energies.
Q: How long is a reading typically, and how do you wrap it up?
A: Thirty minutes to an hour is common, with a reminder about five minutes before the end to allow for questions. End by summarizing insights and ensuring the client feels complete.
Q: What are the ethics around sharing someone’s chart with another astrologer for advice?
A: Always obtain explicit permission from the client before sharing, even anonymously, especially if discussing sensitive topics.
Q: How do you end a reading when dealing with a heavy topic that brings up emotions?
A: Hold space for their emotions, be supportive, and let the client process before transitioning to another topic or ending the session.
Q: For pop-up events offering 15 to 20-minute readings, what kind of astrology readings can be done without birth times?
A: Short readings should focus on planetary aspects and personality traits rather than predictive astrology. Stick to general themes like elemental balance, personality tendencies, and relationships between planets.
Q: How can astrology help in branding and business marketing?
A: Understanding planetary archetypes can help align brand voice and messaging with authentic expression. Venus is often linked to aesthetics, while Mercury governs communication and outreach strategies.
Q: What houses and planets are useful in business astrology?
A: The 2nd house (money), 6th house (daily work), and 10th house (career/public reputation) are key. Look to Mercury for marketing, Jupiter for growth, and Saturn for structure.
Q: Is it useful to elect a chart for launching a business?
A: Yes, electional astrology is often used to find auspicious times that support long-term growth and visibility.
Q: How do you market readings focused on the 7th house without sounding doom-and-gloom?
A: Frame them around understanding patterns, empowering conscious choices in relationships, and offering clarity—not prediction.
Q: Should I mention breakups or divorce in my marketing?
A: Be mindful. Speak to potential change and self-discovery, but avoid overly negative or fatalistic language.
Q: How do I highlight the value of synastry or relationship astrology sessions?
A: Emphasize emotional insight, clarity in communication styles, karmic patterns, and deepening self-understanding in relationship contexts.
Q: What if my audience is mostly single?
A: Focus on relationship readiness, self-awareness in patterns, and preparing for healthy love rather than just compatibility.
Q: When is the best time to launch something using astrology?
A: Look for favorable electional windows: avoid void Moons, Mercury retrograde, and heavy malefic aspects. Choose times when the Moon is waxing and in good aspect to benefics.
Q: Should I use my natal chart or business chart for marketing strategies?
A: Both. Your natal chart reveals your voice and audience connection; the business chart shows how the business grows and what it needs to thrive.
Q: What house rules your business?
A: Typically the 10th house for career/public life and the 2nd for money. But if you’re self-employed, the 1st house and its ruler are also important.
Q: Can astrology show ideal clients or niches?
A: Yes. The 7th house can show clients and relationships, the 11th house your audience or community, and the 6th house your daily work rhythm. Look to planets in those houses and their rulers.
Q: How do I define my astrology niche?
A: Identify where your expertise, passion, and client needs intersect. Your niche may be technical (e.g., medical astrology), demographic (e.g., women in transition), or emotional (e.g., healing shame, reclaiming power).
Q: Do I have to pick just one niche?
A: No, but clarity helps. You can have multiple offerings, but your brand message should be cohesive. Think of a central theme that ties all your services together.
Q: How do I find my ideal client?
A: Start by reflecting on who you feel most energized helping. Then create a client avatar: their age, struggles, goals, emotional tone, and what they’re seeking from astrology.
Q: How do I decide what to offer?
A: Base your offers on your natural strengths and your audience’s needs. Start with 1–2 core sessions (e.g., natal + transit), and expand to packages, courses, or group work as you gain experience.
Q: What should I charge for my readings?
A: Price based on time, depth, prep work, and your confidence level. Don’t underprice—your energy, skill, and insight are valuable. Make it sustainable for you, not just affordable for them.
Q: Do I need a cancellation or refund policy?
A: Yes. A clear policy protects your time and sets professional boundaries. Include this on your booking page or intake form.
Q: Do I need a website?
A: Yes, eventually. A simple landing page with your bio, services, prices, and booking link is a great place to start. You don’t need fancy design—just clarity.
Q: How do I market myself without feeling sleazy?
A: Focus on service and resonance, not persuasion. Share stories, insights, and helpful content that reflects how you think and work. Let people self-select in.
Q: Should I be on social media?
A: Only if you can be consistent. Pick 1–2 platforms you enjoy. Instagram, Substack, and YouTube work well for astrologers. Prioritize depth over reach if you’re a more reflective or niche practitioner.
Q: How often should I post?
A: Start with a sustainable rhythm (e.g., 1–2x per week). Create themes or content buckets: transit forecasts, behind-the-scenes, client testimonials, mini-teachings, or journal prompts.
Q: Do I need a disclaimer?
A: Yes. A disclaimer clarifies that astrology is for guidance and insight, not medical, legal, or financial advice. It’s a key layer of ethical protection.
Q: How do I handle clients who want predictive answers?
A: Reframe their question into one of timing, potential, or choice. Use astrology to show cycles and possibilities, not certainties. Empower their free will.
Q: What if a session gets emotional or heavy?
A: Create safety and boundaries. Remind the client of your role (guide, not therapist), validate their feelings, and refer out if needed. Emotional intelligence is as important as technical skill.
Q: What’s a reasonable turnaround time for a reading?
A: When starting out, 24–48 hours gives time to process and take notes. Experienced readers might only need a few hours or can cold-read live. It depends on your workflow.
Q: What do I do if I don’t know my birth time?
A: In the U.S., request a long-form birth certificate. In the U.K., contact the hospital directly. If unavailable, chart rectification is possible but complex and best done by an expert.
Q: When reading charts for friends and family and you see something potentially upsetting, how do you handle it?
A: Focus on supportive, constructive interpretation. Use empowering language, avoid fatalism, and only share what’s helpful or asked for.
Q: What software is best for generating astrology reports?
A: Astro Gold is great for paid software. AstroSeek and Astro.com are good free options.
Q: Is there a way to forecast horoscopes for all signs each month?
A: Yes, Heather teaches a method in her course. It involves applying house-based interpretations to each rising sign using lunations and key transits
Q: If I finish the course, do I still have access to Q&A calls?
A: Yes, access remains available via the platform (e.g., Demeo).
Q: Where can I find the Q&A calendar?
A: It’s linked on your course page and/or synced via Google Calendar if you added it at the start.
Q: Can I schedule posts or reels in advance for my astrology content?
A: Yes. Use tools like Later, Buffer, or Meta’s Creator Studio to plan Instagram or Facebook posts. Set content themes by day or planetary rulership for consistency.
Q: Do I need to go live to grow an astrology business on social media?
A: Not necessarily. Lives help with connection and trust, but consistent educational or relatable content, reels, and stories can also build your audience over time.
Q: Should I start posting before I finish the course?
A: Yes! You don’t need to be “finished” to share insights. Posting as you learn builds confidence and shows your growth journey. Be honest about your level, and people will connect with your authenticity.
Q: What platforms work best for astrology content?
A: Instagram, TikTok, and Substack are great for short and long-form content. Choose the one that aligns best with how you like to communicate—visual, written, or spoken.
Q: What if I’m afraid of getting something wrong in public?
A: That’s normal. Everyone feels that way at first. Share what you’re confident in, and be transparent that you’re still learning. Mistakes are part of the process, and most people appreciate honesty over polish. Stay ethical, keep studying, and trust your growth.
Q: When is it okay to start taking astrology clients?
A: When you feel confident reading charts and can clearly communicate your process. You don’t need to be “perfect” or know everything, but you do need to be ethical and clear about your level. Some start with practice sessions or donation-based readings to gain experience.
Q: Do I need a certificate to be a professional astrologer?
A: No, astrology isn’t legally regulated in most places. However, having a certificate can add credibility and help clients feel more secure in working with you. It also shows you’ve completed structured training.
Q: How do I grow my astrology audience on social media?
A: Be consistent and authentic. Share your learning journey, offer insights on current transits, and educate your audience. Pick a platform that suits your communication style—Instagram for visual, TikTok for short-form video, or Substack for long-form writing.
Q: Should I niche down or stay broad when offering readings?
A: That depends on your strengths and interests. Niching can help you stand out (e.g., relationships, career, spiritual astrology), but early on it’s okay to explore. Your ideal clients will find you through your voice and passion.
