    As someone who is way into astronomy I am unsure why people would limit themselves to something like astrology. a star is a star and its position in the sky shoud not tell me how i should be for the day.

    I'm not convinced that astrology is real. It just doesn't seem possible that stars and planets can determine your personality. That said, I looked into my own sign (Scorpio) and was surprised how well it described my personality. Not to a T but I'd say about 90-95% of it was accurate. However, I'm sure there are other people with the same sign that are nothing like that. I do know that some of modern psychology is rooted in astrology so it's not a completely useless subject.

    Actually I beg to differ. Most horoscopes are so generic that you usually get 90-95% supposed accuracy with "signs".

    But I don't take Astrology seriously at all other than it's uses to make small talk and make references to it when flirting here and there. But overall, with that one exception, I do think it is a useless subject and very dangerous if one is intending to use horoscopes as a method of determining healthy or unhealthy relationships.

    And no psychology is completely different from astrology, do not mix the two together saying they have some kind of synergy, they don't.

    Carl Jung would disagree with you. and yes, I'm aware that there is a forer effect when it comes to astrology. However, I'm open to the idea that there are some bits of truth in it, even if the concept as a whole is flawed.

    I agree with your latter statement but again the "bits of truth" validating a larger concept such as astrology, is what I consider a dangerous notion.

    Take the bits of truth you see, and make a new concept or theory but do not use them to justify the old.
