Many decades or centuries back, Astrologers were the most valuable persons in the King's court. Astrologers used to sit on par with other ministers in the King's cabinet. The astrological guidance of Astrologers were followed by many kings. The greatest example is the court of King Vikramaditya. Varahamihira and Kalidasa were the great astrologers in his court.
Kings used to take care of the financial needs of Astrologers. They were provided with comfortable accommodation and good pay. Astrologers used to guide common people freely without any fees as they were taken care by the Kings. Common people rarely contact astrologers for Naming purpose or to know their Rasi and Nakshatra.
As the time changed, Kings and their empires vanished. Astrologers came into public and started practicing their profession for their livelihood. The honour of Astrologers came down drastically by the decline of empires.
Many VIP's and VVIP's are using the services of astrologers secretly. The great predictions were kept as secret. Due to modernization, the profession of astrologer lost its glory.
