Astrologer
An astrologer practices one or more forms of astrology. In the past, when the separation between astronomy and astrology was not as pronounced as it is today, they were "observers of the stars".
Astrologers are also sometimes known as astrologists. Historically the term mathematicus[1][2][3] was used to denote a person proficient in astrology, astronomy, and mathematics.
