Get politically involved. Volunteer to be a substitute science teacher in a school. Substitute teachers are NOT required to have a teaching certificate. Part of your taxes go to support public schools. Part of my taxes go to public schools, and I dont and never have had human children.......
Your reaction is extreme. Instead of despising horoscopes, use that anger to be worried about the state of science education in the United States. Get politically involved. Volunteer to be a substitute science teacher in a school. Substitute teachers are NOT required to have a teaching certificate. Part of your taxes go to support public schools. Part of my taxes go to public schools, and I don't and never have had human children.

Carl Sagan has a great answer. We are drawn to such an idea, because we want a cosmic significance, an intimate and personal connection to the universe.
Interestingly enough, astronomy by comparison also provides a cosmic significance for us. For we are under the influence of a star, the sun. The main elements of us are the same as the main elements of the universe. Are we in the universe, or is the universe in us?

basically the same reasons people still follow organized religion, uneducated, passed down beliefs from their parents or carers, science is too hard for them, they may be delusional, they are bored and naive, they are highly gullible and don't know their options, they need answers to things they have trouble coping with and if they don't find the answers they make up some scary lie and convince themselves it's reality. you know, stuff like that.

We may be in educated countries, but that doesn't mean there are educated people, or that those people care about facts.

They claim there is more going on in the universe than science can explain. And they are right. But I seriously doubt astrology is explaining it better (or even as well as) science!
