Ya know I just realized in my own nonexistant self awareness that, that guide is more specifically to obtaining soul crystals legally/acceptably rather than taking on the job/class/discipline itself. I suppose there is a bit of leniency around astromancy then, just with some limitations like blm's probably shouldn't go around casting flares and etc.

Kinda now noticing how alike MCH and AST's questline was in that regards... An antagonist doesn't like or wants to restrict the teachings/class and your char becomes the catalyst to keep that from happening and even expands the job.

That tumblr post was also written before Stormblood and the lore within. While it holds true for many of the jobs, things can and occasionally change per expansion/patch. Focusing on Astrologian in particular, the Heavensward AST quests were all about how Sharalayan wanted to restrict Astromancy and Leveva's struggles to get Ishgard to allow her to teach it. In 4.0, she has students aside from Jannequinard and the player character, and they delve into the story of one such student and his reasons for wanting to learn the Sharlayan style of astromancy.
