That's how I view it - there certainly are people that take it very literally. I'm not deep enough in to know about all the ruling houses and planets being in retrograde or whatever the f
uck and my only frame for reference when it comes to constellations is greek mythology lol. That's all beyond me, but if you were to see a practicing astrologist (yeah they exist in hoards in the San Francisco Bay, it's a legit career path) they would have a lot to say about your question.
I think the underlying point to be made about whether it's all nonsense is that we are made of stardust and the alignment of the planets do affect the physical world in measurable ways, so why would they not also affect us?
