Pretty sure you're a Taurus. Tauruses do not believe in astrology. Source: I'm also a Tauraus

Astrology is the belief that the positions of the stars have some significance for you.

The picture is talking about our local planets, which is even dumber.

In the astrological sense, planets are stars, too. The relative position of the planets is important.

Astrology dates back into antiquity long before telescopes. Stars and planets were just dots in the sky, only difference is that planets move relative to the static stars hence their name (planet means something like wanderer).

I have heard stuff in astrology like "Mars is in the house of Taurus". Don't know what exactly it means but it is very important

Yeah but, Mars is awfully bright tonight. Explain that!

Those who are educated amongst us know this is a clear sign that Voldemort is on the rise. To each their own, though. Go ahead and just be unprepared for the Dark Lord's reprisal.
