Morphology
astromancer = astro + mancer
The star element astro- is clear, but -mancer is a specialized learned element, so the meaning is only partly predictable from the form.
Etymology
Astromancer comes from the parts astro- 'star' (as in astronomy) and -mancer 'one who reads or controls', like in necromancer. So an astromancer is imagined as someone who 'reads' the stars or uses their power, which fits the magical meaning.
