This topic has always been considered rather one-sided. Many believe that astrology is unfriendly to religion, and religion considers astrology a sin. But astrology and religion at different times did not contradict each other at all. Astrology was even developed by church ministers. They were monks, priests of various cults. In all peoples, astrology developed this way. The common people simply could not follow the stars, do complex calculations due to illiteracy and lack of time. And the nobility spend its time fighting and intriguing against each other :) and only priests were sufficiently educated and had time to constantly observe the sky. And for a long time, astrology was revered as the science of sages, knowledge of astrology was considered a must for scientists, doctors, clergy. Now it is not so, but times are changing, and very soon, with the beginning of the Age of Aquarius, the attitude to astrology, this amazing science, will be much better.
