How To Pursue An Astrology Career

Hi, I'm Nick Hughes. I'm an astrologer and teacher. I've been working in this field for the last ten years.

Today, I am going to be talking about various aspects of astrology. The first thing to point out for anyone wanting to pursue an astrology career is that the majority of astrologers don't earn enough to really make a living from it. I mean, there are a lot of part time astrologers out there, but not that many that can really pay the mortgage and have a very good living from it.

So it's very important to bear in mind for someone thinking of setting out in that direction. The next thing that's sort of important to learn on a kind of technical matter is that there are no legal requirements to practice astrology. So you don't, there's no need for any diplomas, any qualifications.

Anyone could just set themselves up as an astrologer and see clients. This is why you have to be careful in terms of going to see an astrologer because they could just have no training whatsoever. And also, when you're embarking on studies, you have to think, if you want a recognized diploma, then that does stand you in good steed but it's not essential.

So the next thing that's very important is that, despite qualifications, to really start practicing as an astrologer, you really need literally to practice, and to practice, and practice. This is why even people who have come out of college, got a diploma, the more they see clients, friends, family, friends of friends, and see loads of charts. That experience really helps, in many ways it's good to do that before seeing clients on a kind of more professional basis.

So even with a diploma, the more you practice, definitely the better the astrology gets. Now, once you are qualified and you have lots of practice experience behind you, there are a number of avenues that practicing astrology can go down. One is just to see clients to read charts, and that's the kind of bulk of astrology work.

And that's sort of very fulfilling. The other possibilities are teaching in formal classes, beginners classes, or even joining a college. The other possibilities are writing, writing articles, writing books, doing some side columns in magazines or newspapers are another way of promoting the business as well as something that can be a way of earning money.

There are also possibilities on other media, for example, websites and blogs are now very popular. Certain astrologers have a quite large following even on Twitter or many people sign up to newsletters. Doing newsletters is another good way of promoting business as well as getting experience with writing.

So, there's a number of ways of exploring astrology, not just seeing clients, it's very important to bear in mind. And those that are interested in writing and teaching are definitely good areas to pursue in conjunction with the client work. .
