Definitions

  1. Belief system that links stars and planets with human affairs.

Word origin

From Middle French astrologie, and its source, Latin astrologia (“astronomy”), from Ancient Greek ἀστρολογία (astrología, “telling of the stars”), from ἄστρον (ástron, “star, planet, or constellation”) + -λογία (-logía, “treating of”), a combination form of -λόγος (-lógos, “one who speaks (in a certain manner)”). Morphologically astro- + -logy.

Used in a sentence

  • For if astronomy is the study of the movements of the heavens, then astrology is the study of the effects of those movements.
  • Followers of pseudosciences such as astrology often draw spurious parallels between their beliefs and established science.
  • In some ways, astrology is perfectly suited for the internet age. There’s a low barrier to entry, and nearly endless depths to plumb if you feel like falling down a Google research hole.
