Wrong (what a surprise).

Study of the stars is, indeed, ancient, but as people began to understand the scientific method, the discipline became known as astronomy (law or nature of the stars). The nonsensical aspects were relegated to astrology. Astronomy did not emerge from astrology; they share common roots of a wide-body of observational and superstitious knowledge.

Both Biblical phenomena and sacred sites like Stonehenge were based on what we now call science. Idiocy about the zodiac, etc., and its fake influence on human behavior, continues to be appreciated by fools. The latter does not include scientifically-valid phenomena like Moon phases' effects on human & animal behavior.
