As the original contrarian , let me assure you that there is a lot here here that you still need to learn
It may surprise you to learn that astrology is a very real science even if the constellations are as skewed as you say . It is worth keeping in mind that no stream of knowledge lasts thousands of years if it has absolutely no basis .
That does not mean it becomes an excuse for fatalism or not doing your bit.
What is true that Hard work and Self effort will always overcome astrological trends. Where astrology can help is in understanding yourself better and using the knowledge to helpfully direct life’s direction .
Some of the greatest converts are people who have walked up to a really good astrologer and have had their entire life read out to them by a stranger
What is even better is to go beyond astrology by using technologies like yoga , pranayama etc to transcend the patterns that you were born with
My suggestion would be : Study the subject yourself in greater depth and then form an opinion.
The results may surprise you
Luv
