Isn’t astronomy different than astrology?

Yes. Centuries ago, they were one and the same. But with the advent of science, they went in separate directions. Astronomy is hard science. Astrology is considered today to not be serious -- except among astrologers.

I thought so, but astrologist use astronomy, so I guess they are linked.
