Question

Find out a proof from the extract that shows that initially the
astrologer too did not know anything about his profession.

Answer 1

Answer:

He has a practical knowledge of the common problems of most people: “marriage, money, and the tangles of human ties.” His sharp eyes, used to scanning for customers, make people believe he has an unusual ability to tell people’s fortunes.

Explanation:

the astrologer did not want to be in the light. He just wanted enough light to give the impression that he was reading the face of his clients. He did not want the clients to read his face as he did not know anything about astrology.
