Astrology is pseudoscience for a number of reasons. First, a basic tenet, that the stars and planets affect us, has no method of affecting a person. Next, assuming that for some reason or another that astrology works (which it doesn't), there are so many stars and planets that are unaccounted for in astrologers methodology that they would be inaccurate anyway. Finally, astrology has not been shown to work, and uses a method called cold reading to make a answer that will work for just about everyone.
