Q. How is astrology different from the work of tarot card readers in Jackson Square?

Q. What are the general demographics of astrology clients?
A. The usual client for an astrologer is female and their questions have to do with personal development, love, money and advancement. Billionaires and think-tanks are more discrete in consultations.

The study of astrology helped me develop my higher mind with mathematics, helped sort out my confusion from multiple mystical studies, helped me identify many human states and the conditions that produce them in myself and in others, and has helped provide a path of spiritual freedom and enlightenment.
