No, and not at all. Recent things in the news and elsewhere - where a sentiment similar to yours has been aired - have made me think "hang on a mo'".

No. It is without any basis in fact, science or rational thinking. It is a sign of how narcissistic some people are, that they think the movements of celestial bodies somehow has an impact on their life. Or, it is used as an excuse to cover the self-fulfilling "predictions" or interpretations.
Yes. Many people have made a (sometimes very) substantial living peddling this rubbish to the naive/gullible/lost/meaning seekers.

I was about to take umbrage at Mitoboy's assertion then remembered that I think it is a huge load of arsegravy so I cannot be taking said umbrage without a hefty shot of cognitive dissonance.

In the name of pendantry, technically the movements of celestial bodies do affect a lot of people's lives (indeed everybody).

Fair point, just not the way astrology suggests.
And, it is pedantry, not pe
ndantry. Just to, you know, be pedantic.
