Try wikipedia.
And be sure it is really astroLOGY and not astroNOMY that you want to know about. Wikipedia will have lots of information on both subjects.

• Do You Believe That The Science Of Astrology Helps Us To Understand Ourselves?
  Just so you don’t forget, ASTROLOGY IS NOT A SCIENCE. Frankly it is an insulting and egregious thing to mention “science” in the same sentence as astrology. What’s next, the science of tea leaf reading?
• Is There Even Any Link Between Astronomy And Astrology ?
  Astronomy started as astrology, just like chemistry started as alchemy.
  Oh, that has been said already! I’m a minute too late.
  The astrologers though (for reasons on their own) that the position of the planets controlled events on Earth. So they though if they could predict the positions of the planets then they could predict the future. So the set about figuring out how to predict the positions of the planets, and that was the start of astronomy.
• Astronomy & Astrology – Both Deal With The Celestial Bodies But Are Still Different In Names, Why So?
  Astrology is fortune telling based on the position of the planets.
  Astronomy is the science of predicting the positions of those planets, and lots of other space science too.
  Astronomy as a science started as astrologers trying to predict where the planets would be in the future to use that information in their fortune telling.
  The only problem is that the position of the planets does not tell you anything about events in people’s lives on Earth. So astronomy went its own way and astrologers are still trying to come up with rules to assign certain meanings to certain planetary positions.
• How Accurate An Astrology Chart Can Be Towards The Person?
  Astronomers can tell or predict the exact positions of the planets, but Astrologers are basically guessing about what it means.
