Video astrology readings for clients in other time zones
Clients abroad book in their evening, you read in your morning: how astrologers can set video reading slots, show the right time zone and send the link.
6 min read
Make video readings their own service, open some slots at hours that suit the time zones your clients live in, and say clearly in the description which time zone your page uses. Book shows slot times in your time zone and displays its name next to them, so a client abroad can see at a glance that 8am on your page is their evening. Send the video link by email after each booking, and ask for the birth place as carefully as for in-person readings.
A video service, separate from in-person
On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page, and each slot belongs to one service with its own start and end. A separate video service lets you open slots at times you wouldn't use for in-person clients, and describe how the reading works online:
| Service | Example slot | Example price | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Birth chart reading, video | 90 min | €90 | Link sent by email after booking |
| Year-ahead reading, video | 60 min | €70 | Current city of residence in the note |
| Follow-up question, video | 30 min | €40 | For clients already seen |
| Birth chart reading, in person | 90 min | €90 | At the practice |
Lengths and prices are examples: set your own. Book doesn't create video calls, so say in the description which tool you use and when you'll send the link.
Opening slots for other time zones
If you have clients on another continent, look at where your working hours overlap with their evenings or weekends. For clients in the Americas, that may be your late evening; for clients in Asia or Australia, your early morning. Create a few video slots at those hours on the weekdays you choose, and repeat them each week until an end date. You don't need many: a couple of early or late slots a week is enough to make booking possible.
Showing the time zone clearly
Your booking page shows times in your time zone and displays its name. Add a sentence to the video description as well, such as "All times are Paris time", so nobody books the wrong hour. The confirmation email includes a calendar file the client can add to their own calendar.
Birth details from abroad
Clients born in another country need to give the town and country of birth, not just the country; the time of birth matters as much as for anyone else. Ask for both in the booking note, together with their current city if you offer year-ahead readings. The public booking form asks for first name, last name, email and phone, plus that optional note. The note also appears in the client's calendar file, so those who prefer can send details by email instead.
Before and after the call
- send the video link by email after the booking, not in the note;
- prepare the chart in advance, as for any reading;
- if you record the session, say so in the description;
- at the end, book any follow-up yourself from your calendar with the client's email.
Clients can't move bookings online: they contact you, and you move or cancel from your bookings list. Book doesn't email clients about changes, so confirm the new time yourself, stating the time zone. Book doesn't take payments, so explain how clients abroad pay you. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
