I know several people who are "into" astrology. One has a science degree. Another actually is an astrologer himself with a very complex algorithm he uses, but even he says that, essentially, astrology shows you a "path" laid out in front of you and that you can choose not to walk that path. So, like, I can see that it's got an appeal and can be pretty persuasive, and it's fun, but I can't see how there is a real scientific backing for it.
