I'm into weird stuff, the further out it gets, the more fun. I've given this topic some thought lately and I still thing the like... "I was born under the house of Jupiter and some other star and planet was in this alignment and that dictates my personality and life events" to be dumb.
But on a much grander scale I find it intriguing, somewhat like you're talking about but with less specifics. Specifics is where it loses me.
Things like the Procession of the Equinoxes across hundreds of thousands of years, and how there's 12 houses of the zodiac, and how that has dictated culture since the dawn of history is pretty incredible. Every transition into the next house has come with changes (and cultural symbolism and mythology) related to it.
The number 12 and the zodiac is hidden in everything, including mathematics. Even in the bible where it says not to engage in witchcraft it says something like "the stars are given for signs and seasons" which is exactly what I'm saying about the seasons of culture shifting. The entire new testament is chock full of characters playing the Ram, the Virgin, the Leo Lion, the Water-bearer, the house of bread, and so forth. It's all pretty fascinating and it would seem that there's something there beyond our science's ability to gain a grasp on, and it's more of a philosophical, mythological, sociological, and cultural thing.
