There are several things to be careful about when making an observation. One is to not include any interpretations. For instance, you would observe a honeybee making erratic full body motions while on a web; you would interpret this to mean the honeybee is stuck to the web and is trying to detact itself.
Another is to not generalize the observation. For instance, you would observe a sunset to consist of tones of red, orange and yellow; you would generalize this to say all sunsets are red, orange and yellow.
A third is to not project yourself onto the observation. For instance, you would observe three adolescent boys bouncing a Basketball between them and a fourth adolescent boy sitting on a bench off to the side. You would personalize this by saying the three boys are excluding the fourth boy from a game of basketball.

What does it mean to arrive at a conclusion by making an observation?
It means that the conclusion that you draw is a result of your observations. So, if you observe a bear hibernating, you might conclude that bears sleep a lot. If you see one mauling a deer, you might thing that they are dangerous predators. Both are actually correct, but you draw different conclusions based on what you observe.
Is astrological symbol and astronomy symbol is the same?
Astronomy and astrology were the same thing before the modern era, because predictive and divinatory knowledge was one of the motivating factors for astronomical observation. Astronomy is simply the observation and measurement of celestial bodies, while astrology is an attempt to find some sort of "meaning" or "influence" in the planetary positions. The interesting thing is that astrology gave birth to astronomy. Oddly enough, considering that astrology has to do with planetary movements, astrologers no longer look at the sky, and haven't for hundreds of years.
