Finding fate as an astrologer

What is your notion of an astrologer? A woman wearing long medieval robe holding a leather - covered book? A balding middle - aged man with wispy beard?

Shen Lei breaks the archetype image with her slim - fitting jeans and white T - shirt. The place she usually meets customers - Starbucks - further dispels any perceptions about the mystery of her work.

After resigning from an administrative job at a State - owned enterprise in 2011, Shen took up the profession and started offering astrology consultation, predicting a person's fate according to their birth date, place they were born and the mystic power that links them with the stars.
