The word "Olaichuvadi" means "the way of stars". The word "Jothidam" means "knowledge". So Olaichuvadi Jothidam refers to knowledge about stars or astronomy.The script uses a system of longitude and latitude to map out the position of planets. It provides information about the various planetary movements, which are then correlated with other factors like the time of birth, place of birth, etc., to predict what will happen in the future.
Astrology is a science, simply not a prediction of the future. Astrology can be used to predict the future in a limited way, but not in any meaningful way.
Olaichuvadi Jothidam's predictions are based on astrological calculations, meaning they are future predictions. They are based on statistical data and past events, meaning they can be used to predict the future more meaningfully than astrology.
