ASTRONOMY AND ASTROLOGY.

Astronomy is a natural science that deals with the study of celestial objects; the physics, chemistry, and evolution of such objects; and phenomena that originate outside the atmosphere of Earth. Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences.

Astrology consists of a number of belief systems which hold that there is a relationship between astronomical phenomena and events in the human world. In the West, astrology most often consists of a system of horoscopes that claim to explain aspects of a person's personality and predict future events in their life based on the positions of the sun, moon, and other planetary objects at the time of their birth.
Astrology is a pseudoscience, and as such has been rejected by the scientific communities as having no explanatory power for describing the universe.

Astronomy is not to be confused with astrology, the belief system which claims that human affairs are correlated with the positions of celestial objects. Although the two fields share a common origin they are now entirely distinct.
