Suggested Characteristics

Astrologers tend to socially isolate themselves in pursuit of study of the cosmos, they may wander, cloister themselves, or use their position and familial status to simply prevent anyone from bothering them.  While providing readings to those who consult them may be considered tiresome to some; there are also students of the stars who are happy to share their knowledge and may, unprovoked, provide readings to unsuspecting commoners.
