Astrology actually has its own section divider.

For some reason, astrology is now important enough to be filed in its own section, and whoever stored the blue pre-Internet microfilm boxes also milled one of those fat blue sectional dividers for its shelf location. Between 133.5 and 150, we now find 56 books on "astrology". It's impossible to tell which branch bought them by checking the cover, but the information might be contained in the electronic barcodes. Remember that the next section, psychology, also includes the "how to witch" books. The files are meant to be read in order, so they do presume that magic requires astrology as a prerequisite.
Astrology while false is legally more akin to scientific perjury than "a religious crime", but don't jump the gun on proceeding without spiritual insight, because "religion" has a technical definition in literacy. Religion is not identical to faith. Astrology is the contrafactual practice in physics and astronomy of behaving in navigation as if the earth did not tilt on its orbital axis. The fundamental notion of astrology found in physics, or prior physics prior to metaphysics, is superficially at least, "supersymmetry". Supersymmetry might have been very close to reality in the distant past, as it has been opined by both Plato and Newton, as well as many others both scientific and religious, that prior to the Genesis flood, the Planets orbited the Sun in perfect circles, and the Moons orbited the planets in perfect circles, which they do not do at present.
Astrology as such is a simplistic enough notion that almost everyone who finds out what it means relative to astronomy immediately walks away from the lecture, and never spends another penny on its promoters. The problem after that stops being that people believe in the science, but that those who are better educated, legally employed, and less profligate walk away from it and there are still lost or conspiratorial souls who use it for insider social status, or for fun, and as is intended, for monetary profit. The only way to refute astrology, which is a stellar practice and axially based on existing star charts is with correct astronomy. It isn't so much, in an astrologer's clubhouse or prognosticators cloister, that the psychic medium wants wants the customer to believe something provably false about the night sky as it is presently set since the flood and regularly predictable date by date, and it isn't simple spirituality either. The astrologer is more than a mere idolater who worships distant lights in the sky for artful effect to the "tune" of rather oversimplified droning plainchant, rather he or she is a person with enough knowledge of passing seasons, solar timekeeping, and the orbits of planetary bodies to actually draw a reasonable sketch of the night sky at a certain time and place, but who has a long set of alternative history books "explaining" not only why the stars are positioned as they are (it certainly isn't the flood in the witch place), but what they do as guardians, guides, and in fact, alleged by the astrologer, living beings.
