I agree they exist.

I disagree with superstitions that people attach to them.

Astrology is a psychological profiling tool, centered around the concept that people who experience similar things in similar times and in a similar fashion, will tend to develop similar traits!

Example: Right now, we are in Aries. Now, according to astrology, Aries are supposed to be adrenaline junkies and jocks. So, why is this assumed...? Well, let's look at child development. If a child is learning to walk, and is now doing this with little help at 12-16 months old, that means that an Aries child has begun to explore the world on their own two feet at the beginning of summer (in the Northern Hemisphere), and thus, have many many months of unencumbered movement to practice being active. This tends to set the trend of life's activity... ergo, one may be comfortable that Aries will tend to be more active.

Gemstones... well, it is true that each material has its own frequency and traits... however, many claims have absolutely NO evidence to support them, but do make for a good sales pitch.
