Observation of the stars, esp. for astrological purposes.

ΚΠ

1665 G. Thomson Loimologia 5 Consulting with the Augures Coeli, those uncertain conjectural Prognosticators of our times, they have most of them made good the more certain prediction I made in Galeno-Pale without Astroscopie.

1749 Universal Mag. Mar. 123/1 Pharmarus is famous for charms and incantations: Balciel, for astroscopy.

1856 Methodist Q. Rev. Oct. 517 That astroscopy..furnished practical aids to navigation..from very early times, is not questioned; but astroscopy is no more astronomy than it is the science of electricity to watch the play of the lightning in the clouds.

2002 J. C. Wharton Nature Cures ix. 201 There was an Astroscopy Department for a while, too, providing guidance on diagnosis through astrology.
