divination – prophecy, foretelling, fortune telling
hypnotherapy – psychotherapy
astrology – astronomy.

Divination is basically foretelling by various means.

There is no connection between astrology and astronomy. Astronomers would be highly insulted! Astronomy is a science, it’s a study of the skies. Astrology is to do with horoscopes and making predictions about the future based on gazing at the stars, which certainly isn’t a science. It is a form of divination and pure conjecture.

Hypnotherapy is nothing to do with psychotherapy. A hypnotherapist relaxes you to the point where your mind is susceptible to suggestion, and then plants ideas that help to address a behaviour you wish to alter, such as eating or drinking too much. A psychotherapist talks through problems with you while you are awake and alert. Psychotherapy can take years, hypnotherapy can work in just a few sessions.

Hypnotherapy is a recognised therapy, and there is nothing hocus pocus about it. I wouldn’t put it in the same bracket as divination and astrology, which are in the same category as tarot cards and a crystal ball.

You can do a course on divination and astrology, but it would be unlikely you would find one that lumped them together with hypnotherapy!
