No. Geology is the study of the processes going on inside and on the surface of earth relating to the rocks and sediments that make it up. Astronomy is the study of objects in space.

There is some overlap of the two fields, however, such as in the formation of Earth or the study of geologic processes on other planets.

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.
