Before astrology we had astrology. The ancients in every culture took great care to try to predict coming events based on the position of the stars.
The Magi of the bible were astrologers, who saw Jupiter as the God planet and because of another star or planet that looked like it came from it, determined that God was going to have a son. The details of this is not my expertise.
I have seen fairly accurate readings from astrologers though, but I am still not sure of its accuracy.

Astrology is the application of specific behavioral traits based upon one's date and location of birth.
It's what known as pseudoscience.
In other words, a load of manure.

Its the study of the postitions and alignments of the stars, moons and planets at different times of the year in accordance with your age and position on the earth to predict events in your future, or the present.
Its actually quite well documented how the changes of the sun and planets and moons affect the condition of the earth, so its not entirely impossible that they have an effect on us too.

It's like the Olsen twins. They look alike but they're not identical. It is possible for them to look very similar though. My older brothers are 3 years apart and the only difference is that one is taller. And no, it's definitely not possible for twins of different genders to be identical. Fraternal twins like what you have happen when a woman produces two eggs during ovulation and both are fertilized. Identical twins happen when one egg is fertilized then splits creating two embryos. That's the easiest way to put it. Cute kids btw :) Congrats

ASTROLOGY - is the non-study of night sky and making a lot of non-sense prediction about the future that is purely generalisism and a bunch of hoax
