I became extremely versed in astrology, I have particularly advanced my studies these past few years, and it never ceases to amaze me.

Actually, astrology is a statistical study in which they used the celestial bodies as markers for things they were noticing on a pattern. With enough data, it can be pretty accurate!

Astrology has been taken as a magical practice, but its foundation lies on statistical studies where they just decided to use the position of the celestial bodies as a marker or label for different circumstances or situations that people noticed. So you could choose to see it more scientifically.
