Morphology
astrologer = astrology (semi-transparent) = astro + log + er
The word is built on the recognizable base 'astrology' plus the agentive suffix '-er', but the profession-specific meaning is learned rather than fully predictable from the parts alone.
Etymology
Astrologer comes from two old parts: astro- 'star', like in astronomy, and -loger 'study' or 'word'. So an astrologer is someone who 'reads' the stars and planets to try to predict what will happen.
