A group of systems,
traditions, and beliefs in which knowledge of the apparent
relative positions of celestial bodies and related details is held
to be useful in understanding, interpreting, and organizing
information about personality, human affairs, and other
terrestrial matters. A practitioner of astrology is called an
astrologer, or, rarely, an astrologist. Numerous traditions and
applications employing astrological concepts have arisen since its
earliest recorded beginnings in the 3rd millennium BC. It has
played a role in the shaping of culture, early astronomy, and
other disciplines throughout history.
Astrology and
astronomy were often indistinguishable before the modern era, with
the desire for predictive and divinatory knowledge one of the
primary motivating factors for astronomical observation. Astronomy
began to diverge from astrology after a period of gradual
separation from the Renaissance up until the 18th century.
Eventually, astronomy distinguished itself as the scientific study
of astronomical objects and phenomena without regard to the
astrological speculation of these phenomena.
