Because, presumably, doing it convincingly in different ways requires being proficient in different styles of behaviour.
Astrology, at least, does require following some fairly complicated arithmetic procedures, consulting charts, and similar things. You can take training courses in it. However, drawing specific, personal conclusions about the client from that contains a large element of "making it up", and the whole basis of the process doesn't seem to be based on any real influences.
