This history of Astronomy vs astrology is interesting. Astrology came first. Humans believed many things before we had science to rule out or confirm certain ideas. So it’s no surprise that early astronomers were also astrologers. However as time went on and we gathered empirical data, astronomy emerges as a science that can literally describe the way the universe works, while astrology (which lacks physical evidence) would now be classified as pseudoscience #Science vs #pseudoscience #astronomy
