Any professional should be paid. That's why I don't have a problem with female escorts getting paid. They are professionals. Whey you pay someone good money, you expect the job done well, with satisfactory results.<BR/><BR/>If you are asking an amateur to volunteer their services, then of course not, the volunteer should never expect any payment (although gifts are always well received).<BR/><BR/>Because I have freely received that which I know from the sheer love and hobby of studying astrology, and for my own self-help and personal therapy, that which I have received I can freely give. I do expect to get paid at my regular work because I don't care for it, and I'm paid by the clock to be at a certain place at a certain time to do a certain thing. It is the sheer drudgery of an 8:30 - 4:00 workday and I get paid well, so I don't mind. <BR/><BR/>To be paid for astrological insight and reading would create an unsavory obligation on my end to deliver. And because I always do readings on a whim, wherever and whenever the wind blows, and the spirit knows not from whence it comes or where it goes, then I can't expect money. <BR/><BR/>I didn't expect to get paid when I gave my love to a man. When I gave sex then yes, by all means, because that is all they wanted, and I always do a good job. I don't expect to get paid when I share my thoughts and that which is pressing on my mind with someone who is on my mind, to help them along their way, by looking at their chart. However if they demand that I look at it, then I would of course ask for payment.<BR/><BR/>Or I just wouldn't do it at all, and refer them to a professional who would.Victorianoreply@blogger.com
