So, when I initially wrote yesterday's post I put that Rick was an astrology major, which he quickly notified me was incorrect. Apparently, that was a totally offensive thing to do. Who knew? So, in an effort to avoid future offensiveness I looked up the definitions of both words.
as·tron·o·my
[uh-stron-uh-mee]–nounthe science that deals with the material universe beyond the earth's atmosphere.
as·trol·o·gy
[uh-strol-uh-jee]–noun1.
the study that assumes and attempts to interpret theinfluence of the heavenly bodies on human affairs.
2.
Obsolete . the science of astronomy.
I would just like to point out that the word astronomy is in the definition of the astrology, so I couldn't have been that far off right? When I pointed this out to Rick his response was, "Astrology is shit, astronomy is real." Noted. I will never confuse the two again, dear.
