What is the connection between astrology and astronomy?

Is man's understanding of everything in the universe correct from the beginning? Of course not. Fortune-telling, worshipping all things as gods, and all kinds of superstitious activities are full of human society. In order to find their connection with the world, human beings have made many attempts, of course, most of them are wrong. It was not until the Greeks began to explain nature with nature that the seeds of science appeared. Astrology and astronomy were not separated at first. Most of the "ancient astronomers" we know are engaged in astronomical research and also serve as fortune tellers to predict the fate of emperors and dignitaries. Astrology (astrology) has always been just a "wrong connection". The "constellation" it relies on is only the random distribution of stars from the perspective of the earth, and its shape and position are always changing (astrology does not care about these). It links human character with the image of the constellation, which is purely artificial imagination and the division of ancient nationalities. Just like the territory of a country is full of historical changes, nothing is "natural".

In fact, modern astrology is no different from ancient astrology. For China, it is an imported superstition, which is not much different from the blind fortune-telling in China. The secret of character can be described in ambiguous ways, such as that you are modest (no one thinks you are arrogant), you are wronged when you meet a villain (no one thinks you pay too little and get too much), and your efforts will eventually be rewarded (no one wants a good future). It is pervasive and unfavorable to use these to deceive people.

Constellation knowledge is actually a kind of culture, and constellation myth reflects the morality and ethics of the ancients. The imagination of the world can explain human nature with myth. But it must be related to the constellation, and it must rely on superstition to gain a sense of security and self-confidence. That is too unconfident about human intelligence and an insult to human culture and modern science.

Astrology has nothing to do with astronomy.
