I have a few books on the subject I'll be picking up closer to release to refresh myself.The Astrologian cards have already been named. :]
My only personal caution is to wait until we actually see the cards Astrologians receive? Unless I've missed the lore somewhere, I don't think there is any mention of full tarot decks in the game. (Please feel free to correct! I'd love to read more about the in game lore given on fortunetelling/astros.) I'd imagine that the cards we'll be using will be far more limited than IRL.
I know of some others that are just using full decks at the moment, and that's fine too! I guess I just want to see what is available lore-wise, firstly. :3
They are, in no particular order, Balance, Ewer, Bole, Spire, Spear, Arrow.
There's a picture somewhere, but... Eh. Too lazy to dig for it.
In any case, I wish I could do something like tarot readings, but I can't afford the deck, nor do I have the know-how to do such things. Even so, it'll be a little more difficult to do, I believe, since Astrologian will use the tarot cards -and- star patterns to properly predict fate. Not saying it's out of the realm of doing/possibility, but it's something to consider.
