On Alex and Paul’s point, I think it is quite understandable that so many people get the terms astrology/astrologer and astronomy/astronomer confused. Other scientific disciplines have the ‘ology’ suffix – think of geology, meteorology, physiology, biology etc. ‘Astronomy’ is a peculiarity, linguistically. It means, literally, the naming of the stars. It would be more logical for the science of the stars to be called astrology.
