Why is astronomy a science but astrology is not?

Are you sure astrology isn’t a science? The theories of astrology claim that the positions of the planets and the stars influence who you are and what happens to you: your job, your personality and your romantic partner. Astrologers make these predictions based on the positions of the planets at the time of your birth. Astronomy, in contrast, makes predictions about such phenomena as the movements of planets and the expansion of galaxies.
