Side Hustle Saturday: Astrologer or AI?

Wherever you stand when it comes to Astrology, it is undeniable that it is a very financially lucrative industry. Astrologers, tarot readers and their likes are very much in demand all year round, from zodiac analysis to compatibility charts or even tarot readings, astrology has been transformed into a booming business.

Even if you are not personally well-versed in astrology, you can still join the trend thanks to modern AI tools. By utilizing technology, you can launch your own AI-powered astrology business. And offer online personalized readings to clients seeking cosmic guidance. 

This week on Side Hustle Saturday, we will explore the ways you can combine Artificial Intelligence with astrology, to build a fun yet profitable side hustle. 

The Astrological Boom

The interest in astrology continues to skyrocket, with astrology consistently rising in popularity. Multiple analysis of Google trends show that “birth chart reading,” “zodiac sign qualities,” “astrology compatibility,” and many more climb in popularity year after year.

With numerous other platforms, such as astro-seek or co-star blending astrology with technology, it has become more tech-driven and more accessible than ever. 

And now, with access to AI, anyone can join in and enjoy the benefits of an astrological side hustle. 

The Cosmic Personality Test

The reality is, at its core, astrology is just personality analysis, similar to different kinds of personality type quizzes. The difference is that astrology analyzes your personality through astronomical events rather than psychological quizzes. 

In that sense, astrology and AI have a lot in common; both are tools to analyze data and patterns to provide different insights. The reason using AI for Astrological readings work is because AI will combine its data-driven interpretation with some creative storytelling. 

So even if you do not personally understand the difference between the 5th house or the 8th house, AI will help you out greatly. You can recreate that analysis of someone’s chart by just making AI do the hard work of researching different astrology books, articles and websites to compile an interesting summary on the details of certain astrological placements. 

How to Start Your AI Astrology Side Hustle? 

Here’s a simple step-by-step process to get your AI astrology business off the ground:

1. Choose a Trusted Astrology Source

Start by exploring a reliable astrology website like astro-seek.com. This platform is a bedazzling gem for astrology newbies, since it includes detailed explanations of each planet and sign, perfect for cross-referencing your AI’s output.

2. Gather Your Client’s Birth Details

Every astrology reading begins with a natal chart, which is based on three key data points:

• Date of birth

• Time of birth

• Place of birth

Once you have these, generate the chart using a site like Astro-Seek.

3. Use AI to Analyze the Chart

Copy the chart data into your favorite AI writing tool (like ChatGPT or Claude). Ask it to interpret the chart, here is an example of a prompt you can use:

“Provide a detailed astrology reading for someone with the following placements. Include personality traits, challenges, and career strengths.”

AI will then create a reading that you can then edit, improve and refine.

4. Review and Cross-Check the Results

Don’t skip this step, no matter how tempting. Compare your AI’s reading with reputable astrology resources to ensure accuracy and tone. This not only builds your credibility but also helps you learn and improve your understanding of astrology over time.

Astrology relies greatly on connecting numerous aspects, for instance, two people might share a sun sign placement but they are placed in different houses; this leads to a difference in personality according to astrology. This is why it is important to review the AI analysis by researching a bit on your own. 

5. Add the Human Touch

AI can generate the structure and analysis, but you will need to add the magic. Inject empathy, intuition, and warmth into your writing.

People who seek astrology charts want to feel seen, not just logically analyzed. A personalized closing paragraph, such as a reflection or gentle encouragement based on the traits presented in the chart, makes all the difference.

6. Deliver Your Reading Professionally

Package your final reading into a beautifully formatted PDF or email. You can use Canva templates to brand your astrology reports. 

Over time, as the number of your clients increase, you can build tiered offerings, such as love compatibility readings, career readings, or monthly transits reading. 

How much you can earn: 

The online astrology market is lucrative. Beginner astrologers often charge between $30 to $100 per reading, depending on length and detail.

Once you refine your process, AI can help you produce high-quality readings in a fraction of the time it would take manually.

With the right marketing strategy, using social media, Etsy, or Fiverr, you could scale your business quickly. Some creators even sell AI-generated astrology reports as scheduled subscription services. 

Final Thoughts: 

At the end of the day, AI won’t replace astrologers, it simply empowers them. Whether you’re a curious beginner or an experienced reader, using AI for astrology readings allows you to save time, expand your offerings, and reach a global audience.

Astrology has always been about finding meaning in the stars. Now, thanks to AI, you can blend ancient wisdom with modern technology to help others understand themselves — while building a meaningful source of income.

So this weekend, why not explore your inner AI astrologer? You might just discover your new favorite cosmic side hustle.
