Astronomy is the scientific study of the universe you don't practice it you study it and astrology is the study of man made junk to tell your future and is silly. People do practice this but I'm not one of them.
Astronomy is a science whereas astrology is a belief system. I practice astronomy.
Mind you, there are many good people who believe in astrology. I have no problem with that as long as they're not using astrology to make serious decisions that could affect the lives of millions of people ... like Nancy Reagan, who regularly consulted with an astrologer regarding President Reagan's schedule!
Astronomy because it is a valid provable science that actually involves looking closely at the stars rather than looking from a distance and point out that it looks like a swan or something.
