The story is titled An Astrologer's Day and not The Astrologer's Day and that is where lies the aptness of the title. Though it is the story of a particular incident in the life of an astrologer, the major part of the story describes a day in the life of any astrologer in India who sits on the pavement to read palms to tell the future of men. The man has spread before him his Professional equipment which consists of cowry shells, Palmyra writing and mystic charts which he can not read. To add to that is his saffron colored turban and his tilak which are enough to invite the trust of a common man who generally frequents this type of narrow road described in the story. Till the time the reader encounters Guru Nayak, the description given of the astrologer is that of any roadside astrologer in a town. The man transacts his business purely on his wits and the ignorance of his clients. Moreover, what leads the reader to believe that this is the story of any astrologer is the fact that the author has not given him a name- he is simply referred to as The astrologer. The title suggest that the reader is going to read about the life of an astrologer and that is what he learns about and in that respect it is acclaimed as an appropriate title to the story.
