Yes, he can register provided he has 7 members subscribing to the memorandum.

He cannot register 'himself'. Societies Registration Act requires a minimum of 7 members for an association or a society to be formed. Therefore, he has to pool another six persons and then form a society or an association and register.
Astrologers forming an association or a society seems strange. Enquire what purpose would be served by forming such an association or a society and then advise them. If it is for recognition of an individual in the eyes of society, he cannot register as an individual.
