It isn't, as far as Christianity is concerned. Astrology is a part of the occult and therefore, as such, has no place in Christian belief nor should it.

There are many other belief systems that use astrology as an essential part of their religious traditions. They consider astrology religious because it marks beneficial and harmful effects of cosmic energy as it relates to each individual. They believe that every person is born with a special cosmic identity in relation to the astrological configuration at the time of birth. They also believe that this cosmic identity can be used to accurately predict periods of beneficial and harmful cosmic energy which will impact upon the person's life. It can be considered as condescending for some through the eyes of prejudice, to denigrate another religion by suggesting that one belief is occult while the other is immaculate and authentic.

No. It's a belief (or study) that the celestial bodies have direct influence on what happens to us humans,but also was known as a previous religion of sorts.....
