The astrologer really knows nothing about any man’s future
and simply plays the part of a fortune-teller to earn a living. The astrologer developed
strong skills in telling people what they wanted to hear and dressed somewhat
mysteriously to attract customers. To a certain degree, the life he lives is a
lie.
The astrologer, as the narration tells us, should be
living a comfortable life on the family farm. However, after a fight in which the
astrologer brutally assaulted someone, he had to flee his region. The astrologer
believed that he had killed the man and therefore had to make a new life for himself. At
the end of the story, the astrologer learns his victim did not die all those years
ago.
