Astrology is not an exact science: even if it is based on very strict rules,  and demands rigor and ability to synthesize, it also requires intuition, association of ideas, poetry and a handling of symbols, that cannot be scientific.

Don't waste time in endless debates generated by "cartesian" people (whose resentment should be analyzed). Some Astrology fans, who cannot stand not being admired, seem to enjoy these fruitless discussions.

One typical argument: " Skies have changed, what about your science?". They know nothing about Astrology but they claim that  its rules have not evolved! Each practiced user still discovers and reinvents, with his own experience, several thousands of years laws, that are tested on others charts, and eliminated if the rest of the chart does not confirm it.  

One thing is sure: Astrology is not justifiable in the eyes of the contemporary science. The abbot Mermet, famous dowser of the XIXth century, was ridiculous when trying to justify his art: "The ray R leaving the object O that re-emits to the pendulum P a vibration V which..." His speech was polluted by his concern for justification.

Similarly, the premature conclusions of the professor Benvéniste on the memory of water have not improved the cause of Homeopathy.

But don't forget that Lavoisier, founder of modern chemistry, refused to hear about meteorites because "stones don't  fly".

And that Descartes was not cartesian according to the recent meaning of the term:

"God proposes. Man, by his free will, disposes... 
Thus am I deserving or guilty. " 

Or again:

"If Man is free, God isn't".  

We should remember humility in front of Nature.

Let us however hazard an explanation: the world we know is not inevitably the only one, it could be far more complex than we imagine it, and our role far more modest.

Could the chart then be a signature of an invisible world, like the sand that visualizes the vibrations of a tuning fork?

Why not?  "If it's not true, it's a great find" said Alphonse Allais...

Astrology carries a Tradition. Great spirits have been interested in it, you will be in good company. Without having to go back to the Middle Ages or to the Renaissance, when Astrology was a major art used by Popes, Emperors and Princes, we find, nearer to us:
- Eugène Viollet-Le-Duc, who restored Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral,
- Kepler, founder of modern Astronomy,
- Isaac Newton, author of thousands of pages on Astrology,
- C.J. Jung, psychoanalyst of depths,
- Paul Choisnard, Eugène Caslant, Dom Néroman, famous french astrologers and great engineers,
- Raymond Abellio, famous esotericist of the same period, engineer,
- Claire Santagostini, author of many works of popularization, principal of College... 

Astrology is a very complete intellectual game. When every magazine enjoin us, for our own fulfillment, to harmoniously use our left brain, ruler of our reason and our right brain, responsible for our imagination and creation, we should remember that Astrology is the art of dealing with symbols, of inviting our intuition to work under the control of our reason.  

A symbol always has several facets and allows to express the unknown. Each configuration of a chart is one and multiple: it can explain a character trait, at the same time predict an event of the life of the subject, and, for instance, teach us details concerning his father...

Astrology, besides its mystery, can bring you much:

• Self-understanding, tolerance, help for upbringing (cf. example) ... or simply those who feel confused. Astrology however needs care and honesty since it can raise painful questions, at first "forgotten" by an Ego on the defensive.
• Forecasting of good periods. Like in biorythms, we go through auspicious times, different for each chart. When we are aware of them, we can make the most of them... Likewise, we must understand and accept bad periods when everything seems to go wrong or to be slowed down: let us exploit these less easy times for checkups.
• Ask ourselves numerous  questions whose answers are perhaps deepdown inside us.
