I view astrology the same way. People say, "if a butterfly can flap its wings on one side of the planet, and affect weather on the other side, why is it so hard to believe that the motions of heavenly bodies influence our lives"?

I agree that an object light years away can affect us here on earth, but to presume that people are capable of neatly dividing those effects into twelve arbitrary groups and summarizing my day's activities into a vague, two-sentence blurb is preposterous.
