I'm generally open-minded about mysticism and other such things, but astrology is just a bunch of hokum based on an erroneous geocentric theory of the universe by the Greco-Roman astronomer Ptolemy, which was taken as gospel throughout the Middle Ages up until Copernicus and Galileo proved him wrong.
I could understand people being taken by it back in the day, but not now. Science has moved on.
