People ascribe meaning to the positions of the planets in the sky. These folks call themselves astrologers.

In reality, there is no meaning. The planets are collections of debris left over from the formation of the solar system. If you threw a rock into a pond, what would the waves mean, as they radiated out from the splash? Planetary orbits hold the same type of meaning. They simply move across the sky as the laws of nature dictate.
