Last year I was doing readings semi-professionally and also selling these healing oils. I would create channeled blends for each person, using highest quality essential oils, crystals, flower essences, herbal oils.. then charging in a crystal grid.

I was having good success, especially for just beginning. However, I got back with my ex sexually and he did this weird sort of abuse where he would sleep with me and then berate me. He told me "your life is a joke, you think you can make money off of this stuff?" I didn't realize how much it got to me. I closed all my public accounts. Closed my instagram where I had thousands of followers, deleted everything, went into isolation to try to figure out what was true.

Now, I am a natural energy worker but have never done it professionally. I also do readings as you guys know, but sort of have a hard time charging for it. I also make my oils. Part of me thinks that I should just go to massage school and take the pressure off of these routes and just do them on the side. However my psychic friend who helped train me says it is unnecessary that I have the skills I need and just need confidence...

And if it works out well and sells the rent, you can still quit the other job.

What I read in your thread reminded me of a dilemma (career wise, but different circumstances) I had a few years ago, so I asked the cards what is coming up for you in the next month and this is what I got:

Hierophant
Moon
10 of cups (rev)
8 of cups
magician (rev)
6 of cups
2 of cups -- clarifier

Looks like you will get help from a friend--platonic, that is good and kind. You have some other deceit/deception around you, possibly false friends, who may have been double dealing and taking advantage of you. Things won't go well with those influences (friends) as there may be loses in that part of your life. The 8 of cups is saying that you may discontinue some of your efforts and plans. Disappointments? Your shyness or modesty can be what has held you back and you'll look for something better. You may have delays and/or feel generally weak at times. The 6 of cups is saying that you will reminisce about the past and in doing so your reflections will give you a better understanding about the things in your life. I pulled one more card to see where that was going and it looks like love and friendship are headed your way--either someone from the past of a new one. Understanding, cooperation, and marriage.

If it is a thorough reading that looks at many aspects of a complex picture then $40 to $50 dollars.

Blyss, with regard to price of readings: If you are going to spend some time on it using meditation etc, then at least $20. Maybe offer a first reading at half-price $10, just once for new clients.

You could go higher for all later when you have demand building up.
