Astrology is a believe based on signature from heaven. I'm an indian Catholic. Religion and astrology plays a vital role.

Astrology could be true but as indian, believe in astrology sometimes decides our life. In indian marriage, the couple will undergo astrology test before they decide whether they are suitable to get married...yes it sounds weird, but trust me, most couples are happily married. Love is one thing but astrology is just for the satisfaction of ones believe. In case they love each other but astrologically they don't fit, then it depends on the couple if they want to go on.

In christian marriage I've never encountered it. I don't know about other religion.

Astrology is written once the person is in the womb of the mother. Believe it or not, many cases found in Asia, astrology determines fate of many lifes and even economy.

Chinease astrology is also very strong. They have a different set of requirement to follow on the movement of celetial objects. Chinease astrology more on animals. They call they year of animal, example person who is born in they year of Dog, Pig, Dragon and stuffs like that. These infirmation can be found anywhere in the internet. as for me I was born in the year of Dog, and trust me most of my yearly astrology prediction almost 60% correct. This does not mean that the person must fully believe in it. We just take astrology as a reference only. Our life is in our hand , the way we make it.

There are also numerical astrology (numerology), this one is very interesting. they tell about yourself by your date of birth. very interesting and mostly is true. The science of astrology can't be understood. believe or not, I just like reading about it.
