    believing in astrology is just an indication of being uneducated

Now, I don't believe in astrology but I do know some very well educated people who do. While I think I know where you're coming from, to me this statement is as dismissive as saying that someone is "crazy". I astrology extremely unlikely to be true? Of course. But does it provide a comforting framework from which to view the universe? Absolutely. Personally, while I find many people's beliefs to be absurd, ridiculous or downright silly, I can't go around presuming that education will persuade them to believe otherwise or presume that because I don't believe in these things that I'm better, more intelligent or more educated than they are.
