Another archaeological site from my archive: Article Margot Graham which was one of the people developing occupational profile astrologer:
Central Institute for Labour Protection in cooperation with the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, World Bank and the British Council is currently engaged in a project to study the characteristics of occupational classification of professions and specialties. The aim of this project is to include produce a set of detailed descriptions of the various professions Fri information on occupations.
such information will be coming soon in all employment agencies and professional clinics for adults and youth throughout the Polish *). This multi-volume compendium will be istotne źródło informacji dla osób poszukujących pracy lub podejmujących decyzję o wyborze zawodu. Wśród 546 zawodów wytypowanych do umieszczenia w tym banku danych znalazł się (po raz pierwszy w Polsce!) zawód astrologa i bioenergoterapeuty. O opracowanie tego pierwszego zwrócono się do Marii Graham jako do kierownika Sekcji Astrologii w Polskim Towarzystwie Psychotronicznym. Oprócz pełnego opisu zawodu (który jako ciekawostkę zamieszczamy poniżej), należało także sporządzić opis skrócony oraz wypełnić dwa niezmiernie szczegółowe kwestionariusze. Z kwestionariuszy tych można się m.in. dowiedzieć, że czynnością dominant in the work of an astrologer is a seat that he has no fixed hours of work, it is not required to wear working clothes or uniforms that may be an astrologer with 40 years old, wearing glasses, and even being a woman! The fact that we let the jokes do not detract from our joy from the fact that this is our profession has become legal and that you will be able to admit to it even in the performance of official papers. We appreciate the serious and sympathetic approach of the High Offices, the beloved of our areas of expertise and we welcome this as the first swallow heralding a gradual but radical changes in the views of scientists, officials and so-called. public opinion about astrology and its allied fields. The condition of changes in social consciousness is to facilitate access to factual information about the subject, on which there was widespread misinformation. Unfortunately, many still lingering prejudices and misunderstandings as to the importance of meaning and possibility of astrology - try to explain and straighten them at every opportunity! In this case, a great opportunity offered the same. This is all the more necessary that, after the upcoming Age of Aquarius, along with the expansion of the collective consciousness, astrology to recover lost, but its rightful place in the pantheon of knowledge and learning again to become official. And so we leave the underground!
occupation title
Other terms which have recently been used, it kosmobiolog and astroterapeuta. They certainly seem to be more scientific and modern in comparison to losing a mouse called an astrologer, but still it is the same: to link the phenomena happening in the sky with the phenomena taking place on Earth, and so these new names, suggesting a departure from traditional astrology, are in fact, unnecessary and confusing.
Tasks professional activities
astrologer aim is to analyze the system of celestial bodies taken as indicators of processes taking place on Earth, particularly in people's lives. One of the main tasks of an astrologer to draw up horoscopes and their interpretation. Should be clarified at the outset that the so-called. newspaper horoscopes are not a genuine astrology nothing in common. They, however, shape popular opinion about the field and affect the warped and it is often unfair judgments.
Horoscope is a system of celestial bodies of our solar system against a specific location on the Earth at a certain moment of time. Horoscopes prepared not only for people but also for countries, organizations, projects and events, in accordance with the principle that everything starts in a given time includes the unique features of this very moment.
Horoscope individual map of the sky is calculated and drawn with the exact time and place of birth. It contains coded information about many issues, character, personality, health, ability, about how to respond and live the emotions of the reasons for the difficulties and conflicts, the possibilities of development, in financial matters, partner, family, work and leisure activities. Symbolic interpretation of this record is complicated, requires broad knowledge and experience, as well as psychological insight and subtlety, as improvidently words can significantly influence the fate of the person whose horoscope concerns. The astrologer must be aware and feel responsible for it. Nor can he take upon himself the decision as to the important things a person has it, however, help in understanding the meaning of the situation facing the person becomes, and present them in an objective and robust manner. Is to present life experiences, even those very difficult, as full of meaning and usefulness of the lessons, they go by.
Astrologer also deals with prediction of the future, which allow different specific methods of prediction. These projections do not talk about a determined course of events and mental states, but about development trends and possibilities of hidden potentials. Now grown so. Humanistic Astrology attaches great importance to the issue of freedom of choice and believes that man is largely the author of his own destiny and responsible for their decisions. In our day job is much easier astrologer - no need to carry out observation of the position of planets in the sky, because they are relevant tables, and computers can do this for us in precise calculations and charts. The whole part of interpretation, due to its complexity and uniqueness of each case, exceeds the capabilities of computers and continue to be made by astrologers. A person contracting horoscope (conventionally called the client) this interpretation is presented during the several-hour conversation, which aims to establish a dialogue in a manner understandable to the client and a broad overview of the most important issues for him. Sometimes the interpretations shall be written, although they are associated with it certain limitations.
Astrologers are often asked to uttering the popularisation lectures, as broadcast on radio and television interviews and articles to the press. The more advanced among them may lead courses and lectures for those wishing to explore this area. The astrologer may also be an author, editor or consultant to publishers of this subject.
work environment
Jobs astrologer is usually at home, at any times, in peace, silence and solitude. In this profession you can not count on employment in the institutions, offices or schools, for a fixed salary, paid vacation, social security or other protective umbrella. Working hours are not fixed, and can operate day or night, weekdays and holidays. It is a stand-alone, not supervised and controlled by others - your own knowledge, diligence and responsibility are at the highest criteria. The amount of work depends on current contracts and deadlines, also depends on the reputation (or not) the astrologer.
Jobs astrologer is also constantly expanding and deepening their knowledge of astrology - it is a passionate endeavor for many decades. This requires studying many books (useful for knowledge of foreign languages, as was published in Polish small number of items) and gaining experience through practice to interpret horoscopes. Are also necessary contacts with people: they are talking to people contracting horoscopes, meetings and discussions with other astrologers, participation in various trainings, seminars and summer schools, often on an international scale. This work is never boring or monotonous because every man and every event is unique and only of its kind. It provides a number of satisfaction and a sense that astrology is the key to description and understanding of issues that otherwise seem inexplicable, and often meaningless.
psychological requirements
Due to the complexity and specificity of their work astrologer should be able to make a positive and direct contact with people, be easy to express themselves, be able to listen to what others say, be observant, internally balanced, discreet and courteous. Calculations and graphs require accuracy and the ability of accounting to their interpretation of psychological insight is needed, a good memory, imagination and the ability to think logically. Talking to people about their lives and problems requiring tact, kindness and respect for people with different views, without criticism, assessment and willingness to convert them to the only right (because its) way, and so widely tolerance and internal culture. It should also be aware of the great moral responsibility for his words. To be a good astrologer is needed broad interests and knowledge in many fields, especially psychology and astronomy, but also in medicine, information technology (computer use), literature, history and philosophy. You need to have an open mind and efficiently, because astrology is associated with the continual widening their horizons, and work on it never ends. Not everyone has a smooth and capacious mind is able to accept a holistic perspective of perceiving the world, which offers astrology and its related fields. They are so called. paranauki, belonging to the eternal wisdom, which is more knowledge about the world in the broad sense than a specific narrow specializations.
Being an astrologer is more vocation in life, the desire to satisfy his passion for the cognitive and find answers to their questions, than a learned profession and dispassionately considered in financial terms. Physical and health is light work in terms of physical effort, but mastering this profession, there are serious intellectual effort, many years of study and practice. For this work there are no medical contraindications, there is also no need for specific performance, therefore, there is the possibility of employment of disabled people with impaired sight and hearing (subject to adjustment), with dysfunction of the limbs and in wheelchairs.
Terms of highly According
criteria adopted in the classification of occupations for this to become an astrologer, is required for secondary education, but because of the breadth and complexity of this field is certainly not sufficient condition. The course astrology can go to anyone (even without a high school), but the completion of this course and further expand their knowledge requires specific characteristics and abilities. Science is not done out of state universities (although the sixteenth century, astrology was a subject of study at universities), but in the institutions profile paranaukowym (psychotronicznym), which are formed in increasing numbers, including in Poland. In Warsaw, for example, leads her Astrology section at the Polish Society Psychotronicznym, in Lodz, Centre for Astrobiology and the School of Psychology Jupiter. Training tend to have different scope and duration, in principle, to introduce the knowledge of astrology and its grounds requires about a year of intensive study. Some students do not intend to become professional astrologers, they want contact with that area to expand and enrich their understanding of the world and the people, the more that astrology is associated with many other areas of knowledge, for example, natural medicine, psychology and agriculture biodynamicznym. Astrology courses usually end with an exam (Accession to it is not mandatory), and obtaining a certificate or diploma. However, an astrologer is only through their own work, thoughts, readings and experience gained through practice - participate in organized activities is only a means, facilitation and inspiration.
possible promotion in the occupational hierarchy
Because it is a stand-alone and does not zrutynizowana, there is no formal degrees in the organizational hierarchy. But there are great, even the unlimited career opportunities - you can be more or less valued, respected, well-known astrologer, or cultivate the purely private sphere as a hobby providing personal satisfaction.
work opportunities for adults
In this profession there is no preference for gender or age (even in principle, the astrologer is older, the better, as has happened here and professional life experience.) Everyone can start learning, it is necessary, however great absorbency and an open mind and the opportunity to devote to it a long time. This knowledge lies at the intersection of science and art, and thus to achieve mastery in it is also a matter of innate disposition.
Employment opportunities and wages
So far there are no astrologers institutions employing full time, they rely on their own enterprise and initiative. Independence is needed in every respect. It is a rare profession, but this area has recently become fashionable, growing interest in it and more people want to gain knowledge of the basics. This subject, however, is so difficult that no danger of overproduction of astrologers.

Many people are practicing astrology treated as an interesting job done in their free time working in other professions, to ensure reliable protection to property.
