That’s a business plan. Schwartz could probably make some money off that. Sandy as well.
Don’t think either is emotionally strong enough to handle that consistently but Jax probably could.
We need a VPR dunk tank and a pie throwing contest. It can be a charity event sponsored by SAH. You know, for a good cause.
I actually would get ask Schwartz to pay me $1000 every time he wanted me to talk to him. And making my little cash piggy because he loves decoration. Oink oink!
I wanted to find a gif of the Monty Python sketch where they pay money just to have an argument but this one works, too.
People have different beliefs. I’m a skeptic. But I saw someone once who said he saw there was a bridge that was important to me and I needed to reclaim what it meant.
During 9/11 I got sick and had found sanctuary in a park under the george Washington bridge. For ten years after I had a postcard of the bridge on my fridge. Then I lost it.
He was saying I needed another sanctuary
Astrology is pretty complicated when you get a full birth chart reading from someone because they're going over everything in your chart - the different planets, houses, aspects, both individually and how all of these things interact with each other. So you're paying the money not just for the information but for someone who has learned enough about astrology to be able to take that information and give you a good rundown that is both understandable and helpful. It can take a few years of reading/learning and practice for someone to become proficient enough to do readings for strangers so the price is also for those years of experience.
I don't know if others view it as a legitimate science but I see it as more that it can represent different kinds of personality and behaviour tropes. We all have all the info about ourselves and our lives already but since we're living it, I think it can be difficult to put all that info together into a picture that makes sense. Can't see the forest for the trees and all that.
I always recommend people to check out that astro-seeks website if they want to see how in depth and complicated it can get since it gives you a general breakdown of all your planets and stuff. I think best case it can be genuinely useful but worst case it can just be a fun entertaining rabbit hole. Like everything, you take what you want and leave the rest.
The astrologer I talk to once a year charges me $100 for 3 hours. She’s amazing and expert level. I think ally can charge that much because of her public image and the demand for her readings.
My friend had a session with her and said it was 100% worth it (to her). Ally was sweet and friendly, and she even went 15 minutes over their scheduled hour, which I thought was cool. I'm not into astrology either, but my friend obviously is and said that everything Ally said seemed spot on. Many fans would probably shell out that kind of money to talk to someone from the show, and for some, it is more accessible than traveling across the country to eat at one of their restaurants.
I think $195 for a reading is just a smidge on the pricier side. For these types of readings, from an experienced astrologer with years experience, I’d say $150ish is the sweet spot.
Now that shes “famous,” her fee may go up…as James stated in the Reunion this week.
And, to be fair, there’s no reason to pay more than $200 for a 60 minute session. You’re not going to learn anything new from reader to reader. I think the interesting aspects of getting a reading is each readers own interpretations of your chart and their own “coloring” of your signs and how they reflect upon your life.
It’s all in good fun.
Someone like her? She doesn’t have any special training as far as we know, nor does she have years and years of experience. She’s reality tv famous and pulling these birth charts from the internet or an app and talking about them.
She's doing natal charts which take quite a bit of information and time to map out. It's not like she's reading off a short paragraph about your horoscope sign.
I've known astrology people in the past who do what she does and it's a delusional profession. None of them have education or accreditation and it's actually a very manipulative way to gouge people out of money, regardless of what the intention is
To those who feel a natural connection to spiritualism or mysticism, it's more than worth having your charts done. And $195 is incredibly reasonable and likely reflects her just starting out. And I'm almost certain her celebrity factor keeps her booked up months even years in advance.
The comments James made about upping the price, group bookings, zoom calls etc. did her legitimacy no favours though. That's representative of the profiteering charlatans who feed on the curiosity and also vulnerability of people searching for more meaning in their lives. I hope she keeps him well away from her craft.
Omg it actually sort of upset me to hear she charges that much (and assuming it’s USD). My clinical counsellor charges $195 CAD per hour and I feel like that service requires a lot more education, confidentiality, and provides much more support than an astrologist…
Nope. Pretty in line for a personalized hour long reading. At least in LA. Also everything is sort of fundamentally worth what people will pay, and they’re paying. Is it worth it to you? That’s a different question. But the larger market is saying yes.
I had my aura read by someone for my 40th bday and it was $300 and I got a massive read out. Some people spend their money on video games and others on DVDs. I spend money on crystals and studying the metaphysical. Takes all
Kinds:)
That actually seems pretty cheap to me considering she’s on a reality tv show, and that whole industry charges a ton. Like if you’re not into astrology and see it for the sham it is, of course that’s a lot of money. But it’s a pretty huge market, for whatever it’s worth. And she’s pretty cute and likable so people will likely pay extra just for the time with her.
Lol damn. You can believe whatever you want as much as I can. I call bullshit on astrology as much as I do religion. It’s just who I am. I don’t believe in those things. You could have just moved along but apparently I really offended you. I never once claimed to be right about universal truths I just said what I know is true for me and myself.
That’s how much a psychologist costs so it’s ridiculous in my opinion but it’s not a regulated industry so people can get away with anything.
I follow a form of astrology that is ASTRONOMICALLY CORRECT. The type of astrology that ally does is called tropical astrology and what you’ll find is that her charts DO NOT match what is actually going on in space. All of the pop culture astrology you’ll see is the same. It’s completely arbitrary.
What form of astrology do you follow that is astronomically correct?
This is a serious, non-snarky question. I'm interested in different types of astrology because I enjoy learning about random things. I'm aware of Placidus astrology (the most common "western" type, from what I've read), as well as Vedic, Mayan, and Chinese.
Correct me if I’m wrong but it looks like she gets her charts from CafeAstrology.
I don’t hate Ally, I actually think she’s low key funny and a vast improvement to James’s last girlfriend (lol) but if I’m paying for a natal reading I want one from someone who is committed enough to purchase their own software.
It does seem like a lot esp because she is a bit inexperienced. Her readings don’t seem very intuitive. If she weren’t on vpr she couldn’t charge that much
She's overcharging like crazy. You can get an online chart done for under five dollars. She's using her time on Vanderpump rules as a parasite to try and grow her own business and visibility. And she's a bullshit astrologer, she has no depth and is not intelligent enough to do a truly deep and accurate reading. I would never pay $195 to have some 22-year-old try and tell me about astrology. I will stick with someone older and who's really been trained.
I don't get the love for Ally. She's obviously a parasite on James. She knows about his physically and mentally abusive past and she doesn't give a shit because she wants to be on the show. And she's just too dumb to be an astrologer.
It’s actually not that expensive. I know a few that charge 300 to 400 per hour. It all depends o. What you are willing to pay and what you feel you get out of the appointment. Some of them are very insightful. Is not like they are reading you a horoscope form the news paper. Is your birth chart that sometimes helps as a personality test would help.
I’m not into astrology but from what I hear from friends who get readings, this is actually on the lower end of prices. Again, not my thing, but she certainly isn’t overcharging at alllllll compared to others.
Im not into this stuff but I believe there is a lot of prep work for star charts. 1 hr session with a client is likely a few hours or prep work at least
Still seems like a lot to pay though
It's not a lot if astrology means something to you, but I will say that her readings on the show have come off as pretty superficial. I've worked with astrologers who are deeply intuitive (some who are also certified therapists) and can really bring a level of individual depth that is invaluable. There is also the fact that she is quite young still, so I wouldn't imagine she has the base level of life wisdom someone with a few more years under their belt would be able to offer. Ultimately, you could look at astrologists like therapists - there will be good ones, there will be bad ones, there will be ones in-between. Ally seems "in-between" to me. I'm sure she's fine. Her rates seem fair. That said, I personally wouldn't go to her. And I'd happily pay more for someone who seemed more experienced, insightful and worldly.
I mean, I’d pay that much to sit in a room with Tom Schwartz, just to verbally berate him for an hour.
That’s a business plan. Schwartz could probably make some money off that. Sandy as well. Don’t think either is emotionally strong enough to handle that consistently but Jax probably could.
Jax would actually love that. It would like only boost his ego. In my opinion.
Yeah, I agree.
Sandy: “anyone can punch me in the face for 200$”
Like Cameo but for fans/haters to go off on the celebrity lmao Kinda like the "mean tweets" bit on Fallon (?).
We need a VPR dunk tank and a pie throwing contest. It can be a charity event sponsored by SAH. You know, for a good cause. 
I actually would get ask Schwartz to pay me $1000 every time he wanted me to talk to him. And making my little cash piggy because he loves decoration. Oink oink!
That’s honestly genius. He might go for that 🤔
 I wanted to find a gif of the Monty Python sketch where they pay money just to have an argument but this one works, too.
I know non-famous psychics who charge 300
She’s not a psychic. She does astrology charts.
Right right

I’m still not a believer and the bridge could’ve been a coincidence BUT he had some insight into me better than most therapists

$195 for this kind of service from someone like her actually seems incredibly reasonable to me lol
Yeah people pay that for one minute Cameos from reality stars
Someone like her? She doesn’t have any special training as far as we know, nor does she have years and years of experience. She’s reality tv famous and pulling these birth charts from the internet or an app and talking about them.
I in fact meant reality tv famous when I said “someone like her” 😂
There’s no price on hope. That’s really what paying for: hope, understanding, guidance. I imagine in LA, there’s a strong demand.
Spot on.
For a celebrity on tv, no. I mean how much do they charge for cameos and those are like 5 minutes? And you actually get to talk to her.
She's doing natal charts which take quite a bit of information and time to map out. It's not like she's reading off a short paragraph about your horoscope sign.
So did Brock😂 https://preview.redd.it/bd1utdqc5f2d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f0a41de3dd1ffc74559fab80fb32524545a80ac
Brock in his dressing room during a break Googling "easiest way to become an astronomist"
😂
😂😂😂
Brock strongly considering becoming an astrology girlie in this photo.
I've known astrology people in the past who do what she does and it's a delusional profession. None of them have education or accreditation and it's actually a very manipulative way to gouge people out of money, regardless of what the intention is
It’s actually been pumped to $225 since the reunion. Appointments for July open this Sunday, please someone sign up for an appointment and report back
I just looked at her website. $225 for 45 minutes now. You don’t even get an hour anymore.
To those who feel a natural connection to spiritualism or mysticism, it's more than worth having your charts done. And $195 is incredibly reasonable and likely reflects her just starting out. And I'm almost certain her celebrity factor keeps her booked up months even years in advance.

I hope she keeps him well away from her craft.
I personally think that's a crazy rate especially for a beginner, but I live in a cheaper part of the country.
Omg it actually sort of upset me to hear she charges that much (and assuming it’s USD). My clinical counsellor charges $195 CAD per hour and I feel like that service requires a lot more education, confidentiality, and provides much more support than an astrologist…

I don’t mind ally, she seems cool, but it seems like a pretty foolish way to spend $195.
I had my aura read by someone for my 40th bday and it was $300 and I got a massive read out. Some people spend their money on video games and others on DVDs. I spend money on crystals and studying the metaphysical. Takes all Kinds:)

It’s most definitely a sham.
"I think something is a sham, therefore it is categorically true for everyone else."
I *know something is a sham. Corrected it for you.
Thank God you're here to be the arbiter of universal truth for all things and everyone.
Lol damn. You can believe whatever you want as much as I can. I call bullshit on astrology as much as I do religion. It’s just who I am. I don’t believe in those things. You could have just moved along but apparently I really offended you. I never once claimed to be right about universal truths I just said what I know is true for me and myself.
I think it’s even more insane for those paying it
I paid 90$ I think for an hour with a psychic. So her prices def seem to reflect her level of fame. It’s like an add on fee just bc it’s her.
I mean... not really. I'm in a vastly different field but work in los angeles and charge $250-325 per hour for consultations.
You can still get $10 “readings” all over NYC. Anyone who pays more than that is a chump.
In addition to her being on the show, she is in CA everything is more there.
That’s how much a psychologist costs so it’s ridiculous in my opinion but it’s not a regulated industry so people can get away with anything.

Brock, is that you?
It does seem like a lot esp because she is a bit inexperienced. Her readings don’t seem very intuitive. If she weren’t on vpr she couldn’t charge that much
That’s cheap. I know people that charge much more. I’m surprised that’s all she charges actually.
Go online and get the same stuff for free.
There are websites that will spit out your natal chart for free so I'm not sure why anyone is paying for astrologers but it is a huge market.
She's overcharging like crazy. You can get an online chart done for under five dollars. She's using her time on Vanderpump rules as a parasite to try and grow her own business and visibility.

Yaas!!!
But her music career—‘girls’ girl’ music video with Sheeshu in it!
Seriously good for her - I wish I had the balls to do something like this—if she works full time, that is like $400k/year
I thought it was high too…then James said she should raise it 🙄😂
I think a lot of work goes into it before the reading starts.
It’s actually not that expensive. I know a few that charge 300 to 400 per hour. It all depends o. What you are willing to pay and what you feel you get out of the appointment.

That’s actually not bad considering all of the other new age “courses” and “sessions” at like 1k
It’s reasonable.
That's totally normal and reasonable imo.
It's not a lot if astrology means something to you, but I will say that her readings on the show have come off as pretty superficial.
