How Do I Get Clients for Tarot or Astrology Readings?

Getting clients is the part most tarot readers and astrologers struggle with. You can be accurate, empathetic, and professional, but if nobody knows about you, the bookings don’t come in. The good news is that readers have more options now than ever before. The challenge is choosing the ones that actually work and won’t waste your time.

Some readers want quick bookings without doing marketing. Others want to build a long-term business with their own name and brand. Both are possible. The path you take just depends on what you want out of this work.

Start With Your Niche

“Tarot readings” or “astrology sessions” are broad categories. Clients don’t usually wake up searching for general readings. They search for something specific:

• A tarot reading about love and relationships

• A natal chart to understand career choices

• Compatibility readings before marriage

• Guidance during life transitions

The more specific you are, the easier it is for clients to connect with you. Instead of “tarot reader available,” say “Tarot readings for relationships and self-growth.” Instead of “astrology services,” say “Astrology for career guidance and life planning.”

One astrologer I knew focused only on entrepreneurs. He branded himself as “business astrology.” That focus helped him stand out in a crowded field.

Option 1: Join Psychic & Astrology Platforms

If you want clients quickly, the fastest route is joining existing platforms like Keen, Purple Garden, or even newer professional booking systems. These platforms already have traffic. Clients come looking for readings, which saves you from running ads or building an audience from scratch.

The downside is commission fees. Many platforms take 30–50% of your earnings. You also compete with many other readers, which can make it hard to get noticed at first. Still, if you’re just starting, this can be a good way to build experience and gather testimonials.

Option 2: Use Social Media for Discovery

Social media is often where clients first meet you. TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube are particularly effective for tarot and astrology because they’re visual and personal.

• TikTok: Quick card pulls, daily energy check-ins, or short astrology tips.

• Instagram: Carousel posts with spreads, behind-the-scenes stories, or short client testimonials (with permission).

• YouTube: Longer readings, “pick a card” videos, or educational astrology content.

Consistency matters more than polish. Even short, simple posts create trust over time. Many readers get their first paying clients after a few months of consistent posting.

Option 3: Build a Website (Your Digital Home)

At some point, it helps to have a website where clients can actually book you. Social media gets attention, but people need a clear next step.

A good website for tarot or astrology should have:

• A short bio with your photo (trust grows with faces).

• A list of services and prices.

• A clear “Book Now” button.

• Testimonials or reviews.

Adding a blog helps with SEO. Articles like “What to Expect in a First Tarot Reading” or “How to Read Your Natal Chart Basics” can bring in traffic from Google.

Option 4: Offer Short Intro Sessions

One barrier for new clients is hesitation. They don’t know you yet. Offering a short, affordable intro reading (10–15 minutes) lowers the risk for them. Many clients who start with a quick reading book longer sessions later.

A simple script works well here: “Curious but not ready for a full reading? Try a 15-minute intro session.”

Option 5: Collect Reviews and Testimonials

People trust what others say more than what you say about yourself. Ask happy clients for a sentence or two about their experience. With their permission, put it on your website, social media, or booking page.

It doesn’t have to be long. Even one line like “She was accurate and kind, gave me clarity” can make the difference for someone deciding whether to book.

Option 6: Pay-Per-Minute Platforms for Flexibility

One frustration many readers have is unpaid overtime. Maybe you book an hour on Zoom, and the client keeps talking after the time is up. Cutting them off feels rude, but giving away time eats into your income.

This is where pay-per-minute platforms help. Clients pay only for the time used, and the system tracks it automatically. It’s fair for both sides. Some platforms also handle cancellations, invoices, and international payments. That saves you time and reduces revenue loss.

It’s not a magic solution—you still need clients—but when they do come, the flow is professional and smooth.

Option 7: Networking in Online Communities

Sometimes the simplest way to get clients is to be present where they already gather. Online forums, Facebook groups, or even subreddits for astrology and tarot are filled with people curious about readings.

You don’t need to advertise directly. Answer questions, share insights, and build trust. Over time, people may approach you privately for a session. It’s slower, but it often builds strong client relationships.

My Own Observation

I’ve seen readers waste energy chasing every possible channel—posting on five platforms, trying ads, joining multiple directories—all at once. They burn out. The ones who succeed usually pick one or two strategies and stick with them consistently.

Sometimes it’s better to do less but do it well.

Motivation and Realism

So how do you get clients for tarot or astrology readings?

You get them by being visible, trustworthy, and specific. You won’t land a hundred clients overnight, but with steady effort, you’ll see progress.

Some readers start with a few sessions a month. Then word spreads, reviews build, and suddenly their calendar fills. It’s slow at first, but momentum builds.

And here’s the encouraging part: there are always people searching for guidance. Love, career, family, self-understanding—these questions never stop. Your job is simply to be where they can find you, and to offer a service they feel confident booking.

Turning Readings Into a Real Business

Clients don’t appear by accident. They come because you show up—on platforms, on social media, on your website, or in communities.

The best strategy is often a mix:

• Use platforms for quick exposure.

• Build your own brand for long-term stability.

• Protect your time with smart tools like pay-per-minute billing.

If you stay consistent, the clients will come. And once they do, the challenge shifts from “How do I get clients?” to “How do I manage them all?”

It’s a good problem to have.
