The planets constantly move relative to earth, the sky and each other. The movements and positions of Sun, Moon and planets close to the earth correlate closely with the fortunes of individual people, groups and other entities. It is absurd and childish to think that the stars and planets control human events; the actual theory of astrology is that the patterns of time in both the heavenly and human levels of reality are similar, because time and its effects on consciousness are the universal measure and common denominator of all events.

Observing this correlation between heavenly and human time patterns, and using it to predict what is likely to happen is the basic premise and practical method of astrology. Therefore astrology is a system for making educated guesses about probable patterns in the behavior of individuals and groups of human beings, based on the patterns and timing of the movements of the planets in the skies.
