everything I did for my first corporate astrology gig
Last year, I landed my first big B2B client gig. Over the course of 7 days, I delivered 65 readings across 4 different locations. Here's how I did it, and how you can, too.

At the start of October 2024, my reading count was barely scraping 130.
By mid-December, I’d hit 200 professional Astrology readings.
All thanks to a little gift I got on the October Libra solar eclipse…
My first ever corporate gig.
For 7 days across 4 weeks, I put on a full face of make up and rode the train in heels to exclusive locations all across the city. I sat ensconced in curtained rooms as I shook hands, read charts, and dazzled dozens of high-net worth clients in 20 minute increments.
It was unlike anything I’d ever done before.
Here's how I did it, and how you can, too.

Recently, I received this message on Instagram:
And I took it as a sign to finally write this post.
Here’s the overview:
Last October, right around the new moon solar eclipse in Libra, I received an inquiry in my email inbox. It was from an international company looking for a local astrologer to offer in-store mini readings for a luxury jewelry brand.
I’d received similar inquiries before, and turned it down. I used to service corporate clients for years in my previous company, and didn’t find it as enjoyable. This is the first thing I’ll say upfront for my fellow spiritualists:
We are sensitive beings. We value authenticity and the messy human experience. This feels antithetical to “Big Corporate”, so we tell ourselves it isn’t for us.
This is a lie.
I was navigating an impeding breakup in my life. I would be financially independent for the first time in 8 years. TL;DR: I needed the cash, and couldn’t afford to say no anymore.
Thank goodness I didn’t. ♡
This corporate gig ended up being the highlight of my entire astrology career. I learned so much, met so many interesting people, grew as a human and professional, and feel so much more ready for bigger opportunities to come.
