Well, here's the Merriam-Webster definition:

the divination of the supposed influences of the stars and planets on human affairs and terrestrial events by their positions and aspects

I might a little about human personality and character, but their definition covers the gist for me.
If you want criticism, I would start with the following:
- There is no evidence that astrology works (in terms of predicting or determining human character, affairs, or events).
- There is no evidence for a mechanism by which it could work, i.e., how does a planet billions of miles away affect me in any noticeable way?
