  Many believe that astrology is real and scientific - at least where there are professional astrologers. Astrologers often make predictions that are either too ambiguous or based on observations of the subject. This often leads to confirmation bias in the believers who start interpreting their life events based on these predictions. That leads them to believe that astrology may have solutions (yes - astrologer prescribe solutions too, where I'm from) to problems that actually require psychiatric treatment.
