No.
Astrology is not considered a science by the mainstream scientific community. It is often classified as a pseudoscience because it lacks empirical support and does not adhere to the scientific method. While astrology involves the study of celestial bodies and their positions, its predictions and interpretations are not based on rigorous scientific evidence. Instead, astrology is often seen as a belief system or cultural practice.
Nowadays, it is not. Astronomy has taken out all non demonstrated and all non scientific aspects of Astrology and has taken its place in the physical sciences. However, in the past, astrology could be considered as a science as well as alchemy was replaced by chemistry.
Astrology is not considered a fact-based science by the scientific community. It is viewed as a pseudoscience because its claims and predictions are not supported by empirical evidence or the principles of science. While some people find personal meaning or connection through astrology, it is not an accepted scientific practice.
Astronomy and Astrology are often confused, however, astronomy is science, it is the scientific study of any object outside of the Earth's atmosphere. Astrology is like the horoscope, it is using the constellations overhead at the time of your birth to predict things that will happen in your life. Astrology is not proven science and is more superstition.
For astrology to be considered a science, it would need to demonstrate consistent, testable predictions that can be empirically validated through controlled experiments and observations. Additionally, it would require a theoretical framework grounded in established scientific principles, allowing for reproducibility and peer review. Currently, astrology lacks the rigorous methodology and empirical support necessary to meet these criteria.
A practitioner of astrology is called an astrologer, or, rarely, an astrologist.You should not confuse astrology with astronomy.Astronomy the scientific study of astronomical objects (stars and planets) and phenomena without regard to the astrological speculation of these phenomena. The scientific community considers astrology a pseudoscience or superstition as no scientific evidence has been found to support its claims. However, belief in astrology remains widespread in the general public.
Superstition, like astrology.

Because it is not scientific. There is no science behind. There is absolutely no scientific evidence in any of the things it is supposed to do.
Selenology is a noun used when referring to astrology. It is the scientific study of the movement of the moon.
Astrology has repeatedly been challenged by scientific research and is generally considered to lack empirical validity. Numerous studies have failed to demonstrate a consistent correlation between astrological predictions and actual events or personality features. While many people find personal meaning and insight in astrology, it does not conform to the scientific method or thorough testing. Consequently, astrology is viewed more as a belief system than a science.
Scientists answer questions by using the scientific method (making observations, doing experiments, formulating, testing, and modifying hypotheses). In all experiments where this process has been used to test its validity, astrology has failed.
