An Astrologer is somebody who's information lies in interpreting the zodiac components of stars/planets/zodiac indications and the strikes of the planets. case in point an Astrologer could nicely be taught the strikes of the planets and stars to make up beginning charts and supply somebody their zodiac sign by way of those strikes. An Astronomer is someone who's information lies in interpreting the planets, stars, galaxies, area, moons and so on. case in point an Astronomer examine the celebs at nighttime and the moon for a extra advantageous information of area and planets. wish this helps :)

wanna hear something funny?
i worked at an observatory for awhile and i can't tell Virgo from Libra.
these days its NICE to know some visual astronomy, but hardly required. the absolute BEST ppl to ask this question to are amateur astronomers. those guys know EVERYTHING!
check out a local astronomy club or go to a observatory party. (i used to avoid them... they NEVER asked about orbital paradigms or stellar models, they wanna know about 'arc to arcturus' and stuff i don't remember.)

If you seriously think that rote memorization and listing of star and constellation names constitutes "clearly knowing their field of work" or "GET THE MIND WORKING PLEASE" then you are seriously deluded about both astronomy AND astrology, not to mention the nature of knowledge itself.
