Astronomy is the study of the “universe and its contents outside of the Earth’s atmosphere” (Temmings, 2014). The motions, positions, and properties of celestial objects are all examined in astronomy. Astrology on the other hand, tries to predict how those motions, positions, and properties impact people and events (on Earth). One is fact, studied, and researched (astronomy) and one is guesstimated and stated as fact (astrology). So why is astrology pseudoscience? It is made up of beliefs that have been disproven by the scientific community over and over again - there is no evidence that supports the beliefs associated with astrology. Thus leaving astrology, as not
