Do I have the factor in my chart to be a professional astrologer?

Yes. Yes, you do.

I can - though I didn't because the way I read a chart is likely different in many ways.

10th Lord, Moon in the 9th sign, Gemini ruled by Mercury.
Moon is also Atmakaraka (planet with most degrees in any sign in a chart), a strong factor of who the person is.
Another self factor called the "pada" falls in Gemini.
Part of fortune in Virgo (ruled by Mercury).

9th division, Moon (self factor) with Ketu (south node) in Gemini.

Most things indicating career then are in some way connected to Mercury (and also south node) both which relate to astrology.

Also in the 9th house, a house of "guru" - advice giving etc. Mercury, Lord of these factors is in the same sign as Venus, Lord of the 8th (thus connection to "occult" and astrology). 8th is also other people's money of course.

This is a question for which you should know enough astrology to work it out for yourself.

When you ask, "Will I be able to support myself?" had you thought of running a horary chart on the question? Could you interpret a horary chart, if you did?

In the meantime, as you learn more astrology, read charts for people on-line. See what kind of feedback you get, and learn from that feedback. When you start getting PM requests for chart readings and offers to pay for your services, you'll be in a better position to decide if this is a good profession for you.

Then realize that you might need a "day job" to support yourself.

A lot of astrologers' horoscopes are posted on the Astro-DataBank at Astrodienst. See if you note some kind of consistent pattern in these horoscopes.
