Default Astronomy & Astrology

Whenever someone points out to me that astronomers & astrologists used to share the same job title, I remind them that barbers and surgeons were also one and the same. I'm not going to run down to the local JifiCut to get my appendix removed any time soon....though the respective State Boards do seem to check up on the beauticians/barbers more often.
