I have to disagree.
Unlike the typical untestable questions like 'Is there a God' astrology produces results that can be measured.
The fact that astrologers don't use the same standards of evidence as do scientists is irrelevant.
Astrology can be examined scientifically and it fails miserably.
There is a reason whey they have to add the 'For entertainment purposes only' tag.
