It's always caused me amusement that astrologers use the positions of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in their predictions. These bodies have only been discovered since the invention of the telescope. Pluto is no longer classed as a planet.
I was speaking to someone really into astrology some years ago who informed me of "true star signs". She was telling me that there were 13 of these so I asked to see a chart. Sure enough, it was based on where the ecliptic crosses the constellation boundaries defined by the IAU in 1930.
How people think this is some sort of ancient art continued in the modern era is beyond me.
