It is most certainly not science. It doesn't make testable measurable hypotheses. It simply provides a vague list of traits that can apply to enough of the population that people think it says something about them. That doesn't mean it can't be fun and I have nothing against people believing in it. But science it is not.

Superstition. Odd that so many people think it, if not a science, at least genuinely predictive!

@ArishMell i think that astrology is part of science. But in now days no one can predict as well. All do it for money

@amrit19901990 It isn't a part of any science, and does not even attempt to be even pseudo-scientific.
It is amusing, but cannot possibly be taken seriously - though you are right that astrologers are in it for the money. Money "earnt" by exploiting the gullible.
These charlatans merely play with the relative positions of some real astronomical objects picked at random. That though is not enough, so they exploit human tricks such as leading questions, generalisations, and the common fault of finding cause in mere correlation (basically co-incidence).
At their most absurd level are the ones who write astrological columns for the newspapers; using general ideas so vague and conditioned that readers can sometimes create apparent co-incidences with real events in their own lives.
