ASTROLOGY: Its is the study of how planets affect the nature n behaviour of people born under them.People born under the same planet tend to have major similarities n common traits in their behaviour.These are permamnent & do not vary with time I mean does’nt matters which year you were born people from same sunsign for ex:- all librians hate injuctice n criticism no matter which year they were born.
HOROSCOPES: These are predictions about affects on you lead by movements of planets through different sunsigns.These are temporary n vary with time.
Difference between HOROSCOPE & ASTROLOGY is same as that between WEATHER & CLIMATE.

Astrology is the study of the relationship between the movement of planets in the cosmos and effects on earth. If there is no relationship, astrology doesn’t work. If there is, it does.
The word “horoscope” comes from a Greek phrase “horos scopos” that means “watcher of the hour.” It was used to mean the rising degree, or the degree of the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the time of birth in a nativity. As late as the 17th century astrology books used the word “horoscope” to mean the degree on the horizon.
Over time the word “horoscope” came to mean chart, which used to be called a “figure” which was short for “figure of the heavens.” Later on it was called a “map,” or “map of the heavens.” The chart or figure of the heavens is a snapshot of the positions of the planets as seen from the vantage point of the location of the chart at the time the chart was cast. It makes no sense in the original meaning, to call the figure a “horoscope.” But the definitions of words are established by usage so in 2008 and for the foreseeable future, “horoscope” means “chart.”
Charts are cast for births, beginnings of nations, beginnings of sports events, construction of buildings, etc, and for times that we wish to “elect” to start projects or endeavors. They are not limited to births of humans. They are just maps. It is the delineation and understanding of the symbolism that makes the study of astrology what it is. The more charts you read, the better astrologer you’ll be.
If you want to study the subject as history, there are all sorts of good texts available I strongly suggest you read the ones written by people familiar with astrology. Some of the things I’ve read written by academics with little astrology background are horrible and in some cases out and out stupid.

I know they are different ways of telling the future, but does one give you more detailed information them the other? Is one of them got less mistakes in them the other?

If heliocentric more closely to modern astronomy, why don’t we use that one? What about draconic chart system?
