What is the difference between Zodiac's and Astrology?

I'm doing a project on Astrology and I need to know the difference the two.



Thank you :)What is the difference between Zodiac's and Astrology?
Astrology is a discriminating form of fortune telling that some people think should be a lifestyle.



Astrology was, in its beginnings, a genuine search for knowledge——an attempt to find, in the configurations of the stars and planets, some meaning for humans that might enable them to ascertain something about the future, as if that future were written, obscurely but gloriously, in the heavenly patterns that nightly present themselves to observers.



Astronomy

The genuine science that developed from astrology. Astronomy deals with the stars and planets and everything about them, such as their relative motions, composition, and distance. The Earth is included only so far as it enters into the cosmic scene as a planet. Astronomy has a long history of dependable, accurate forecasts, placing it among the royalty of sciences.



Zodiac

The part of the sky through which the Sun, Moon, and planets move relative to the starry background. The zodiac consists of the twelve astrological signs as well as several other constellations that are ignored by the astrologers. Each sign is itself divided into twelve “houses,” which are said to determine a human characteristic or prospect such as love, home, travel, death, health, and employment.What is the difference between Zodiac's and Astrology?
You sure you didn't confuse Astrology with Astronomy?
