In a way, I think that it's okay to charge whenever, even from your very first reading, if you're upfront about what you're selling. If you're selling your time and inform whoever it is you're reading for that you're new and inexperienced I think that's fine. You're time is as valuable at any time.
If you mow someone's lawn you're selling your time and effort, not the promise that you're some super-mower with advanced techniques. Same with taking the time and effort of doing a reading, regardless of how good you are. As long as you're honest about it them it's always okay.
Of course, I've never charged for a reading so I may be way off. But even trial readings raw beginners have done for me have always been compensated somehow, even if it's chocolate bar or cookies or even some teaching and feedback.
