what is the difference between astronomy and astrology?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Astronomy is the science of space and astrlogy depends on it i.e astrology depends on the meovement of mainly seven planets affecting the habitation on earth , they are mainly Sun , Moon , Satrun , Jupiter , Mercury , Venus and Mars . As per Hindu system of astrology we have imaginary nodes - Rahu and Ketu .. so in all 9 planets mainly affect the life on earth by their movements in their orbits and the information of this movements is obtained with the help of Astronomy. Astronomy also tells us about the other masses and their conditions present in the space which may not be connected to Astrology . The science of astrology is also connected with the constolations (nakshatras) connected with a certain planet and which effect the mind of inhabitants of the palnet earth.
For last few years planets like Harshal / Uranus / Pluto are also being considered by some astrologers for predicting events of human life , but I think they are very far and have a very weak influence on earth . As such any change in space has an influence on earth as we all are part of this CREATION.
