n. pl. as·tron·o·mies
The scientific study of matter in outer space, especially the positions, dimensions, distribution, motion, composition, energy, and evolution of celestial bodies and phenomena.
A system of knowledge or beliefs about celestial phenomena: the various astronomies of ancient civilizations.
I think what seperates them is this sentence "in the belief that they have an influence on the course of natural earthly occurrences and human affairs."

Besides the fact that astrology is based on a geocentric universe (earth is the center of the universe). Which is not true. Therefore, everything based on this fact is not true. Since everything in astrology is based on this fact, everything in astrology is not true.
It's sad, really.
