Firstly scientists didn't say shit about astrology, because its a gigantic pile of bullshit and has nothing to do with science. 1 ASTRONOMER noted that in science they use 13 instead of 12 constellations to track the suns movement through our skies as seen from our relative perspective. And for some reason it made the news because all of the sudden you'd have to switch from 1 generic description of human nature to another generic description of human nature? WTF are we in the 1400s here? Should I go grab my copy of Malleus Maleficarum?
The constellations composed out of stars and planets, that mostly have no relation to each other do not give a flying fuck about you. They didn't sit down and have tea to discus your future the minute you were born. They did what they always did, burn like the giant flaming balls of gas they are or orbit a giant flaming ball of gas. That's it, no fucking magic, no omg you are an introvert but occasionally you will have extrovert moments (really? no shit).
If Astrology is just a party trick for you then cool, power to you, have a few giggles on me (I'm a cancer who happened to have cancer btw, whatever the fuck that means).
However if you are letting some douche bag tell you how and what life decisions to make based on our arbitrary few of the skies. Please do some research and realize for a moment that it's all bullshit and that whoever is doing it is at best adding nothing to your life and at worst giving you bullshit advice and stealing your money. Astrology promotes the worst thing in the world: uncritical thinking.
Here's a little excerpt from my sign:
Cancerians have a retentive memory, particularly for emotionally laden events which they can recall in detail for years afterwards. they are strongly governed by childhood memories and since they live intensely in the past in memory and in the future in imagination, a chance meeting with someone for whom they had an unrequited love, even if they thought they had conquered the feeling, will easily rouse the emotion all over again.

So I remember emotionally laden events really well? Mmmmmm so does everyone else on the fucking planet! It's important because an emotionally laden even for our ancestors was "Hey check out this cave lets go in", ROAR "Holy fucking shit there's a fucking giant lion in there!". Years later "Hey check out this cave! Oh wait I remember what happened last time we went into an unknown cave all willy nilly"
they are strongly governed by childhood memories and since they live intensely in the past in memory and in the future in imagination
Explain to me who doesn't live in the past with memory and in the future with imagination? /facepalm
If you want to learn why Astrology is bullshit go have a look at Phil Plait's page Bad Astrology
and here's a science paper that completely and utterly demolishes Astrology Is Astrology relavant to consciousness and psi
and here's some James Randi
