spellcasting:
As a student of astrology, you can cast Astrologian spells. See chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the Astrologian spell list.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the Astrologian spell list. You learn additional Astrologian cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Astrologian table.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Astrologian table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Astrologian spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of Astrologian spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Astrologian spell list. When you do so, choose a number of Astrologian spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your Astrologian level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you are a 3rd-level Astrologian, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of Astrologian spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Astrologian spells. The power of your spells comes from your understanding of astrological powers. You use your Wisdom whenever a Astrologian spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Astrologian spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a Astrologian spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use a star globe, planisphere or other similar tools as an arcane focus (found in chapter 5 of the player's handbook) for your astrologian spells.

Draw
Beginning at the 1st level, as an action you are able to draw a card from your deck of sixty and empower an ally according to the drawn card. Roll 1d6, the number shown corresponds to the drawn card. Once drawn, you may apply the empowering effect to yourself or another creature within 30ft. that you can see. The card releases the energy within and the card returns to the deck.

A creature may only have one Draw effect affecting them at a time. A new effect replaces the old effect.
