mediumtoastrologer
A medium already meets 42% of what the astrologer role asks for. The move turns on 6 required skills not yet in the profile.
42%
56.4/ 100
1 Share of the astrologer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the medium profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A astrologer role treats 4 of its required skills as things a medium already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- maintain customer service
- manage personal professional development
- prospect new customers
- rhetoric
What stands in the way is 6 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A astrologer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a medium background worth leading with.
- already held rhetoric social sciences, journalism and information
- already held prospect new customers communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held manage a small-to-medium business management skills
- already held interview people communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held administer appointments management skills
- already held maintain customer service communication, collaboration and creativity
All 10 carried skills, including the 4 the astrologer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 13 missing skills fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

- optional, not held write horoscopes optional

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a astrologer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 prepare horoscopes skill · occupation specific
- 02 specialised astrology software knowledge · occupation specific
- 03 astrology knowledge · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
