Astrologer

Astrologer — a stage where the path of the Door turns from tricks to foresight. The carrier's spirituality sharply increases, and along with it so does spiritual intuition.

Astrology allows him to divine using a crystal ball, and this skill is broader than ordinary prediction:

through the ball he is able to summon his own past memories — it works almost like divination through dreams;

by superimposing the silhouettes of two people on each other, he determines whether it is one person or different ones — and no disguise helps here.

The second skill is defensive: Interference. The Astrologer disrupts another's divination and another's spiritual intuition — that is, he prevents them from seeing him by the same means by which he himself looks. At the seventh stage this is more valuable than any blow: in a world where an opponent can find out your plans in advance by divination, the ability to remain unreadable decides the outcome of the matter before it begins.

It is worth noting how the Astrologer differs from the Seer of the Jester path, with whom he is easy to confuse. The Seer divines by many means and is strong in ritual magic; the Astrologer works primarily with the crystal ball and the stars, but is able to do what the Seer cannot — recognize a person under any guise and look into his own past.

The method of action of the stage is formulated as a warning, and this is rare: astrology is not omnipotent. The carrier is obliged to remember the boundaries of his craft — what is seen in the ball is a hint, not a verdict, and whoever takes it for a verdict will, sooner or later, burn because of it.
