Astrologer to dating service consultant
An astrologer already meets 27% of what the dating service consultant role asks for. The move turns on 11 required skills not yet in the profile.
71.7/ 100
1 How much of what a dating service consultant is expected to do is already part of an astrologer’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the dating service consultant role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A dating service consultant role treats 4 of its required skills as things an astrologer already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- assess character
- develop professional network
- give advice on personal matters
- maintain customer service
What stands in the way is 11 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A dating service consultant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of an astrologer background worth leading with.
- already held give advice on personal matters assisting and caring
- already held assess character management skills
- already held manage a small-to-medium business management skills
- already held interview people communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held administer appointments management skills
- already held maintain customer service communication, collaboration and creativity
All 9 carried skills, including the 4 the dating service consultant role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 23 missing skills fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

Common questions about this move
Can an astrologer become a dating service consultant?
Yes, and it is a substantial move. An astrologer already covers 27% of what a dating service consultant is expected to do: 9 skills carry over, 4 of which the dating service consultant role treats as required.
What skills does an astrologer need to become a dating service consultant?
11 required skills are missing, plus 12 optional ones. They fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by communication, collaboration and creativity. The single most important is advise on dating.
How hard is the move from astrologer to dating service consultant?
Its learning distance is 71.7 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
