Pest Control / Astrology - Free or Paid?

[Guest guest]

Dear Site Visitors: This is further to Sreenadh's thoughts under the title 'Astrology: Free or Paid?' He enunciates his position very judiciously, with great clarity of thought and feeling. The reason I am calling attention to his words is the lurchers at the site. Call this reason 'pest control'. While everyone is free to visit, nobody should think he or she can coax a reading of his or her chart out of the forum. (And forum attention should go to cases that merit attention, particularly where the visitor gives enough case history materials of use to members. This is my suggestion to members.) As for lurchers, I quote Sreenadh: "...but if somebody is coming to me and DEMANDING a free reading - for sure I will politely but for sure ask him to 'get out'." I may paraphrase his sentence like this: If somebody

comes to the forum REQUESTING a free reading, they have got to think twice.

The querent or native was free to give any amount of money they wish - but you should remember that almost all the Kerala people are pretty descent and used to give least 100 and Devaprasna etc I used to get very big amounts. As far as

charging the clients is concerned if I am a full time astrologer, now too I will do the same - no doubt - and will speak out the amount (charge) as well if the querents become too stingy after wasting my lot of time. There won't be any doubt in my mind for looking back on the same or rethinking - because the idea, and conviction is pretty clear. Yes, no advice on the same also won't be appreciated - because it is a personal thing - any one is free to do what they feel right in such matters. If you don't want to charge - don't do it that is all to it; If somebody is charging, who are you to ask them not to charge!Now I am working as a software quality engineer, and astrology interests me as ever or more. And I am not much interested in reading many charts - for free or for money - and the interest in astrology is purely academical. Now if I have to read somebody's chart I will read it for free - but if somebody is

coming to me and DEMANDING a free reading - for sure I will politely but for sure ask him to 'get out'. I won't have any doubt in that as well - because, he can have his decisions, but not mine. Now I can do chart readings for free only because I have another livelihood - and no more in need of money from astrology.Astrologers: Yes, there would be many who read charts for free; who take Dakshina alone; who charge fixed and at times huge amounts.People : Yes, there would be many who DEMAND a free reading (as we could see in most of the astrology lists); who request a reading; who pay a nominal Dakshina; who pay a Decent dakshina; who give the amount as charged/asked by the charging astrologer; and who pay very big amount as a donation.Yes, people are different, astrologers are different and there are no hard coded laws - even if some believe so. And the main problem is we don't have the right ask someone to do some

thing for free as long as we are not paying their house rent and food cost of food and clothing. :)P.S: Personal decisions are personal decisions and public public – it is wrong to mix and match the two and jump into the wrong pits and decisions.Love,Sreenadh
