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. Curtain zodiac signs have different character trait, for example the Aries sign is assumed to be more aggressive, a Leo would be more extroverted and confident yet can be a showboat, and a Virgo would be more down to earth and organized.
