I use to think that way about astrology, until one day I found a post recommending people try for themselves and check the results without having made up your mind before hand:
Try to find your hour of birth, as best as possible (asking a relative or checking a document if you can).
I can’t guarantee your result, but I can say I personally was blown away by the degree of insight. Seeing put to words what had been acted out over decades, appearing, up until that point to have been - I suppose - “unique” and “non-archetypal”. I try quite hard to be rational in my pursuits (though obviously no one is perfect, we all have our blind spots) - yet I was forced to admit, internally and now sometimes externally, what appears to be a valid core “science” or “technology” at play in what today is broadly labeled astrology.
Looking at it from that perspective, I can see it appearing as a “local reverberation” of a cosmic pattern or cycle, interacting with our own “patterns” of life. The tone of this reverberation is unimaginably complex, layer upon layer upon layer of sub-tones and sub-frequencies stacked one upon the other. Some of the tones are from the earth, and life upon it, and you, and your family, and your ancestors, and the communities in which each sub-tone established itself. And also, there are cosmic tones which commingle with our own. I think that is what astrology attempts to “map out” for humanity.
If you’ve ever read LoTR, you might see some overlap in Tolkien’s image of Creation:
