Is saju astrology?
Loosely, yes, since both read a birth moment, but they start from different things. Saju converts the calendar date into characters, and Western astrology reads where the planets stood.
Different starting points
Saju starts from the calendar. The year, month, day, and hour of birth become eight characters, and the reading works on those. Western astrology starts from the sky and asks which sign the Sun, Moon, and planets were in.
Thai astrology starts from the weekday of birth, and numerology works with the numbers in the birth date. The table sets the four side by side.

No winner among them
Because the four start from different material, none of them can grade another. Read the same person through all four and some points agree while others differ. Start with the one you are curious about, then compare it with the rest.
