you gotta be nuts to think astrology is anything other than good old fashion fun. there is no proposed mechanism of action by which the positions and motions of stars and planets could affect people and events on Earth that does not contradict well understood, basic aspects of biology and physics.
no need for stars and planets to 'affect' anything. that's not what it's for. it's just a very complex time-keeper. it's like a clock. the clock does not affect the time, but it is surely a very helpful device to determine what the time is. the question is can anyone on earth actually fathom how to read all of it properly, in its infinite intricacy
