'Cause there's a sucker born every minute? Because people who have no

fucking *clue* about basic science, including the way the solar system

is laid out, or what planets really are, are more likely to be gulled by

smooth-talking, reasonable sounding people in odd clothing? Because the

typical religious meme-set includes memes for believing in magical

occurrences, importance of the self in an uncaring universe and a drive

to gullibility?

All of which characteristics are then exploited by people who would

otherwise be called grifters.

*That* is how astrology (and Tarot, etc.) "work".
