An astrologer looks at the planets' positions and tries to understand a person's character or tries to predict the future. Modern astrologers see astrology as a symbolic language.[1][2] It is also seen as an art, or a kind of divination.[3][4]
Astrology and astronomy started out as the same thing, but today they are very different.
Newspapers and websites often print or post horoscopes. These horoscopes claim to predict a persons future based on their birth sign.
