Trial and error is a very valuable tool, but trial and error comes after
a concept has been formulated based on observation. In trial and error,
you still have a starting point, a process and a result. I don't think,
except in close gravitational encounters, that the bodies in space
(Planets, stars, galaxies etc...) have any effect on humanity. Old
exploded stars are responsible for the matter we are made of, but those
stars no longer exist. In order to convince me that astrology was more
than coincedental, you would need to show some connection other than
existence itself.
