The short answer
01 · The source
Count preparation, meetings, revisions and administration, not only the time spent making the final piece. Review whether clients now expect more than your original agreement covered.
02 · The size
A rate increase needs a reason you can explain. Start with what the work includes, what it costs you to deliver, and how your current price compares with similar services. Your birth chart cannot calculate a fair rate.
03 · The move
Write a short explanation of the new price, what is included, and when it would apply. Check existing contracts before changing an agreed fee. Prepare a smaller option if a client has a lower budget, rather than quietly doing the same work for less.
Check the whole job
Count preparation, meetings, revisions and administration, not only the time spent making the final piece. Review whether clients now expect more than your original agreement covered.
Compare offers with similar experience, location, responsibilities and service levels. One expensive competitor is not a reliable benchmark. Decide whether you need a higher price, a smaller scope, or clearer limits.
Example: the project grew
You agreed to write one page, but the job now includes interviews and several rounds of changes. A clearer offer could separate writing, research and extra revisions. That makes the change easier to explain than saying your confidence has improved.

Track responses and the actual time spent on future work. For tax, legal or financial decisions, use qualified advice. Astrofluence can help you examine your feelings about charging, not establish market value.
