I've actually felt the same way about Astrologist on my "main." Not sure why I keep referring to him as that considering I've been spending more time on Chachan as of late than him, but Gogon is much further along on 50ing all the classes and has several more... things on him than his younger brother.
That includes the Zodiac quest, where he's currently collecting Light for his Scholar book. I really like Scholar, and feel it fits him as a character, but I can also see him using Astrology as another facet of his character. So I find myself wondering if I should start saving up Alexandrite and the other things in order to start the grind anew with Astrologist...
Then I realize that beyond their unique titles for getting the base relics, you only get the achievements for the first time you hit each Zodiac marker, and that there's plenty of easier alternatives to get a weapon that's as good or better without the horrendous grind and headache. I remember how obnoxious the earlier steps were and how I certainly don't want to retread them (or the gil that was sunk into them). So I'll probably just stick it out with the Scholar book and go the routes everyone else is suggesting for when the expansion drops.
But my situation is, obviously, very different. I'm already quite far into my Zodiac chain while you've just started. Though, I still think I can pass along the sage words of: "Go with whichever one you want, and don't feel too upset about it if another class pops up that you really like since there's plenty of alternate, non-Zodiac weapons available." It's pretty wordy advice, though.
