I didn't say it was a religion. Divination is the preformative aspect of astrology, tarrot cards, and the like. All the religions you mentioned have equally silly preformative aspects. Most folks attend church for a sense of community and to find purpose and meaning in the void of human existence. Astrology provides something similar. Obviously it is pseudoscience. But I'm not sure how much that actually matters. Like the article says, people don't really listen to what she says, they use it to confirm what they already thought, or as a frame to help organize their scattered thoughts. And just like religion, people can take it to ridiculous places.
