Fortune tellers have overtaken psychologists in popularity among Russians
In 2024, 39% of Russians preferred to trust a fortune teller rather than a psychologist. Astrology, Tarot card layouts and numerology are in demand among esotericists.
Before the start of 2024, astrologers and fortune tellers raised prices for their services by 40%. Thus, the average cost of a Tarot reading is 6 thousand rubles, drawing up a natal chart is 9 thousand rubles.
The volume of the market for magical services by January may reach 2.4 trillion rubles, which is 20 times more than the volume of the market for psychological services – about 100 billion rubles.
