Etymology

From the Greek-derived elements astro- (“star”) and -latry (“worship”).

Noun

astrolatry (uncountable)

A robed woman stands on a circular platform engraved with astrological symbols, raising her hands toward a dark eclipse in a star-filled sky. A beam of golden light connects the eclipse to her hands. Constellations glow above, and a waterfront city with boats, candles, and an armillary sphere appears in the background at night.
A priestess performs astrolatry beneath a radiant eclipse, drawing down starlight amid constellations and a candlelit waterfront.

The worship of stars; reverence directed toward celestial bodies.
