I would post this in r/askastrologers but normally interest in astrology is Uranus contacts, and lots of 8th house/Pluto/Scorpio and 11th house/Aquarius aspects and placements. And having it as a career or your life’s work would be your mc and/or north node and/or career houses and/or career house rulers making contacts to those aspects/houses/signs. (Sag/Jupiter/9th house placements could also play a role (beliefs, higher education, disseminating your knowledge.) There’s also some asteroids you can use relating to astrology, you can see if they are making tight aspects to important parts of your chart.

Sometimes it starts as a hobby until a transit spurs it to become a possible career depending on your birth chart. Many here have mentioned placements I have in my chart, yet it took 16+ years of study before I decided to start sharing my knowledge.
In the Natal I have: Mercury as chart/MC ruler, Scorpio stellium in 3rd House, NN in Aquarius in 6th House.
When I decided to pursue astrology as a career, Uranus was transiting my 9th House.
I have noticed astrologers have a lot of Virgo/Mercury energy. As someone mentioned it makes sense from an alchemy perspective.

the two astrologers ive worked with both have their sun in virgo…and i have a lot of virgo energy [including my sun] and i am also starting out on the hermetic/alchemical/astrological path after spending my youth in sagittarian pursuits [my either dominant energy]
so based on my very limited sample study/experience, virgo seems to be involved and the mythology seems to be support this eg the mercury/hermes/toth connection

i’ve heard 6h placements, and i have a 6h stellium but i don’t think it’s actually that connected.

North Node in the 8th.

Water trines

The 10th house ruler located in the 9th house is probably the biggest indicator of doing Astrology as a career/education.

The 9H is the traditional house of astrology and Mercury also represents astrology. Maybe if you have Mercury on the MC or a Mercury ruled MC, or MC ruler in the 9H
