astrologer

Zodiac sign reader

An astrologer is someone who practices astrology—the study of celestial bodies to interpret their supposed influence on human affairs.

Astrologers cast horoscopes and make predictions based on planetary positions and zodiac signs: The astrologer said Mercury in retrograde explained my communication problems.

The term implies belief in a system most scientists reject.
