I find these studies a waste of time. If you disbelieve in astrology and believe in science, then this is or course what it will show you.
If you believe in astrology, you probably also believe in some unfalsifiable statements about it and have reasons to not trust studies like this.
It's like trying to convince flat earthers using General Relativity. If you believe the earth is round, you don't need GR, and if you don't, it doesn't help.
So it goes back to what you believe, and the statistics is clever decoration.
