Horoscope: the art of explaining your personality using furniture that existed before you were born.
means The belief system that studies the positions of stars and planets to predict human affairs and personality traits.
from From Greek 'astron' (star) plus 'logia' (study of) — literally 'star-study.' It was once inseparable from astronomy; the same people tracked the skies for both mystical and mathematical reasons. Only in later centuries did 'astrology' peel off to mean the divination half, while 'astronomy' kept the science.
