Would you prefer to be an astrologer or learn astrology? Is there really a difference ?

I have studied astrology for 1 year and I have a unique perspective that I dont think anyone has ever pointed out before. So to start if out, I was reading on astrology junction information about different type of astrologies and when the site had some extra stuff before, I did get a bigger understand of astrology. There are many places anyone can read about astrology. 
So the main debate here today is, if astrology is made up of the 12 zodiac signs and a person masters those, are they considered an astrologer since they can explain to another person what their zodiac sign is? I abit confusing, but let me know your views because i really would want to know what differentiates and astrologer from a normal person who learns astrology and obtains the same information.

An astrologer is someone who has an understanding of astrology , one would assume that anyone making such a claim would know their subject to a standard that would “merit “ calling themselves as such

Either way it may be amusing to waste time on this useless pseudoscience but why not invest your time on a more useful pursuit ?

You’re a fool to waste any amount of time on astrology.

1) There is neither logic nor hard evidence to indicate astrology influences our actual lives.

2) The descriptions of the signs are based on constellations. The traits assigned to different signs are arbitrary. A half dozen stars in a constellation could have just as easily been called some other animal or thing. The illusion of the constellation only looks that way from earth because some of the stars are further away than others and would look differently from any other direction.

3) The cosmos has been in motion and now the constellations over head at birth are several signs off from when the Zodiac was created. Meaning when you wax on about how awesome Scorpio describes you you’re disproving the Zodiac because that really wasn’t your sign at birth anyway.

4) it was never explained why birth sign matters but somehow conception and every alignment of stars after birth somehow are secondary to what was at moment of birth. Logically if the stars do influence us then they would ALWAYS influence us, meaning you should not even have a sign. Earthlings would all share the same fate.

I'm in full agreement with you but, like me, I bet you know your star sign.

I would say yes there is a difference. Knowing a persons sign and being able to describe someone what their sign means is only one part of it. That's like saying you know all of math up until Algebra and are a Mathematician....except you don't know calculus.

Astrologers must look at the positions of the planets and their movements and how it impacts certain signs as well as understanding the celestial cycles and using them to predict seasonal occurrences. I can tell my husband he's an Aries but damned if I know which planet is in which conjunction to meet which house and so on.
