Is Astrology a Science or Not?

Astrology is a system based on the belief that events on Earth are represented by the positions and movements of astronomical bodies, particularly the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars. The word astrology derives from the Greek astron (star) and logos (word, study).
Astrologers maintain that the position of astronomical bodies at the exact moment of a person’s birth and the subsequent movements of the bodies reflect that person’s character and, therefore, destiny. They are deemed to be associated with the characteristics of individuals. The celestial patterns are interpreted so as to understand, plan, or predict events on Earth. Although astrology uses systematized methods and techniques to gather valuable data, it does not utilize these data for logical explanations but for mystic readings. And because astrology bases its findings upon superstitious beliefs, it contradicts science (which rejects superstitions).
