Abstract
Article is devoted to some aspects of an English-speaking astrological discourse (linguistic, cognitive) and to its studying prospects. The objective of this article is to describe nominative tools of esoteric discourse from the point of view of its etymology, semantics and word – formation. In this article the etymological analysis of original and adopted nominations of esoteric discourse is given. It has been concluded that archaic words are coming into use together with reviving kinds of esoteric practices and a keen interest of a modern person. The author does an attempt to define a place of an astrological discourse among other discourse types, its ratio with esoteric and predictive discourses, considers its features, components, participants and their relationship.

Highlights
In modern linguistics the discursive direction is one of priority and covers the widest range of discourses
Latin prefix "pre -" is widely presented in lexical units nominating esoteric concepts. We observe it in lexical units presage (v), presage (n), presentiment, premonition and some other: Presage from prae- "before" + sagus "prophetic" correlated to sagire "perceive" Presentiment (n.) from French ‘presentiment’, middle-French 'pressentir' "have a presentiment" from L. præsentire: præ "before" + sentire "perceive, feel"
Taking into consideration that Russian lexical units to foresee, predict, have a presentiment, to presage are formed in a similar way, it is possible to speak about universality of this word formation model of esoteric semantics lexical units for Indo-European languages, and concepts have deep roots in cultures of European people
Summary
In modern linguistics the discursive direction is one of priority and covers the widest range of discourses. B., Savitskayte E.R., Knyazeva A.A., Stoykovich G. V., Klyushina A.M. etc.] are devoted to the theory of discourse and research of different discourse types. A number of discourses remains out of linguists sight. We can refer to such discourses a so-called astrological discourse which, in our opinion, did not receive sufficient coverage in linguistics
