What happened to ancient astrologers?

1) The work of professional astrologers 1. Looking for something lost.

This is almost the most common problem encountered by every professional astrologer, and it is also one of the most difficult problems.

The success rate of this kind of astrology is very low, but people often think of astrology when they drop things. With today's common sense, it is impossible to get the correct answer by calculating the constellation. Astrologers can only calculate according to their insight into the world and the information told by their helpers. That's true. Personally, I feel that I can't find the answer from the horoscope. But that doesn't mean that no astrologer can do it. From16th century to17th century, three famous astrologers in England were good at this. They all started their businesses in London: C Simon Furman (1552 ~1611) and Lily (Willian Lily, 1602 ~ 16865438).

Second, find someone to find a fugitive.

This kind of astrology is much easier, because according to the big universe-small universe theory in astrology, everything about people will be reflected in astrology. So there are many examples of this kind of star career success. It is famous that in 1652, a lieutenant general of the Royal Party Army escaped from the Tower of London. It is speculated that the astrologer Booker mentioned just now is the place where he escaped. However, after the once famous Monmouth Duke was defeated by the rebellion in 1685, it is said that the authorities ordered a Dublin astrologer to find out his hiding place, and the duke was caught and beheaded.

Three. Ship Search, Sea Search Prediction and Navigation Insurance

This prediction was only popular in the14 ~16th century when navigation was prevalent.

In ancient times, in order to facilitate navigation and observe astronomical phenomena, people connected the scattered stars in the sky through imagination. Half of them were named in ancient times, and their naming methods include myths and epics of Mesopotamia, Babylon, Egypt and Greece. The other half (mostly in the night sky in the southern hemisphere) was named only in modern times, and is often named after navigation instruments. The risks of navigation are well known, so navigation prediction is also a major business of professional astrologers. Let's not discuss whether it works for the time being. As far as psychological value is concerned, astrologers should be given a higher evaluation. Because in times of crisis, psychological factors often decide everything. Sailors who believe in astrology will not go to sea until they get a "safe" answer, and they will be full of confidence when they are killed, so it is not surprising that they have escaped bad luck. It is said that a person who doubts astrology commented: If astrologers can really predict the good or bad luck of sailing, they might as well run the navigation insurance business. However, in fact, many astrologers have done so. For example, there is such a record in Lili's file. 1644, a ship was reported to have sunk on the way to Spain, and the insured also believed that it had sunk, but Lili concluded that the ship was safe and sound; Later, it was proved that he was right, which added to his reputation.

The legendary story between astrologers and navigators. There was a large circulation at that time. Sailing was an important and popular activity at that time, so astrologers were keen on sailing astrology, and many experienced and prestigious navigators were willing to accept the guidance of astrologers.

Fourth, price, enterprise profit and loss.

Economy is always the theme of all times. But it is not suitable for astrologers to play the role of sociologists. Yes, many astrologers wear several hats and are extremely smart. So it is not difficult to judge the price according to some economic knowledge.

As for the profit and loss of the business, that is the operator's problem. Anyone who knows a little about the face can get a more correct answer-and astrologers are good at this. This divination has nothing to do with astrology.

Five, treasure hunt

Getting rich overnight is a dream of many people, and many astrologers and alchemists have become people's hopes to meet this dream. However, there are very few astrologers who can perform such large-scale astrology. But foreman, J. Gardebury and R. Napier all formulated a set of "rules for calculating the location of hidden treasures." Whether it is effective or not is unknown.

Sixth, the lawsuit is dull.

The correctness of this astrology is also very ideal. Because astrologers are generally more sure of everything related to people-this is the meaning of astrology. The famous astrologer in this field is K. Thomas, who is also a priest.

Seven. Personal destiny

There are many methods to predict this, including specialized astrology and astrology medicine. It is worth mentioning that "astrology" has been developed to make a more accurate prediction of personal fate (Figure 24). This is very similar to "palm reading" in ancient China, but it is not the same. China's palm reading is mainly an extension of the theory of fine collaterals, while astrology is consistent with the theory of the universe.

Eight, career choice

It is very common for astrologers to point out a suitable career for a person according to his fate and talents. Some people think that astrology is the best guide to tell us what career we are naturally suitable for and what career we are most inclined to. Whether the astrologer's advice is correct or not is only known to those who have done it according to the requirements, but from the perspective of people's trust in astrology at that time, it should be better. It has even been suggested that institutions of higher learning such as Oxford and Cambridge should only be open to those who are "gifted in astrology".

Nine. Marriage and family

Marriage is a major event in life, and there are many uncertain factors. Everyone should consult the "prophet". There is a complete theory of love in astrology. Astrologers will arrange fortune-telling horoscopes for everyone, from which they can learn about their temper, hobbies and other personal personalities, and then they will arrange horoscopes that are most suitable for the object, so as to get a lot of contents that are most suitable for the object, such as birthdays, personalities and so on.

X. treating diseases

Let's talk about how authentic astrologers "completely" rely on astrology to practice medicine. Astrologers will treat a person according to his birthday and fortune-telling horoscope without meeting the patient. It sounds mysterious, but it's true. In some European publications, Dr. Star Wars once said: "Many experiences have proved that many doctors cannot cure diseases with the most effective drugs. Astrologers can cure diseases with simple herbs only by observing and studying the movement of stars."

Xi。 Pregnancy and Fetal Sex Prediction

The requirement to predict whether the fetus is male or female has existed since ancient times, both at home and abroad. Astrologers can not only "predict", but also teach people to choose the best time to conceive. Astrologers wrote: "If you need a boy to inherit your field, then observe when the positive planets and the zodiac will rise. When they are in their prime, call your wife and plant your seeds, and you will have a boy. "

XII. Life expectancy

Birth astrology is considered to know people's lives and their deaths. Generally speaking, longevity is a thorny issue for astrologers, because once mistakes are made, there will be direct evidence and the reputation of astrologers will be damaged. Therefore, many astrologers will have some ambiguous excuses when answering such questions. But some astrologers dare to celebrate their longevity. According to legend, Calda-which I will introduce later-committed suicide in order to prove himself right!

Thirteen. Various decisions

When people make decisions, they often seek advice from astrologers. Its contents are varied, so I won't give examples one by one.
