We are constantly reminding ourselves that we only know enough to tell us that there is so much more to be known. It is also pretty much a given that knowledge fades and is transformed - some things become ridiculous and others get pared down to fit into more sets of evolving knowledge and understanding. One point that I think is worth mentioning is that as a species we have been around for 160 thousand years or more. In that time we have had a lot of very smart people put their heads together over a long period of time. Things like astrology are probably misunderstood or misapplied knowledge systems that used to function when we thought differently. By that I mean that our paradigms were different - not less valid, just different, and applied differently at their remove of aeons from here and now. Now whether or not a particular new idea or system can tally closely with such ephemera as world social upheavals (war and enlightenment and stuff) or with NEO's merging with dear mother Earth, the fact remains that if we can try to understand these echoes from our ancient pool of wisdom we can't lose by it. My 2 cents.
