Does astrology actually posit a mechanism? I thought that part was left unspecified.

  According to the first sentence of the article, gravity is one suggested mechanism.

    Sure, but there’s potentially a large gulf between “some people attempt to rationalize astrology by saying” and “astrology says.”

      He is just addressing the people who rationalize it by gravity, then.

        Exactly. Side question: If you really believe something, do you feel the need to rationalize it?
