🧩 Hobby Overview
- Hobby Name: Astrology
- Description: Astrology is the practice of interpreting planetary movement to gain insight into personality, timing, and relationships. People participate by reading daily horoscopes, pulling birth charts, booking readings, following transit forecasts, and buying tools (apps, books, planners, decks, candles, crystals).
- Ideal Audience: Primarily women 18–44 plus a growing Millennial/Gen-Z male segment; mid-to-upper discretionary income; wellness/intentional living; goal: self-discovery, better relationships, aligned planning.
- Monetization Potential: Excellent. The niche blends digital (apps, chart reports, courses, memberships) with physical (books, planners, jewelry, ritual tools). Recurring subs (apps, memberships, subscription boxes) + one-offs (readings, gifts). Wide product variety = many angles to test.
