astrology- the most beautiful psychological analysis tool

The big question that i hear from most of my intellectual friends is:

is astrology a true science?

or is it a crookedly made pseudo science to exploit people?

the general answer i give is:

i know atleast 100 well educated people who were on the verge of suicide, and it is astrology which played a major role in giving them hope and thus averting the last resort.

these people were well educated, sensible people who lost all their hope because of some serious issues which cropped up in their lives, which they couldn't solve by their own/their first circle's logic.

now, how did i give them hope?

i am not a miracle worker or a saint to be able to change their attitude so quickly.

i just used the laws of this science to gain their confidence, by correctly assessing a few aspects of their lives.

then they start to believe, for we are looking desperately for hope.

for something/anything to hang on to.

do you think, i can cheat these educated people by their horoscope assessment and gain their confidence?

astrology can be surely used for personality assessment and strengthening, if not for any other purpose. say, much better than any Jungian or Freudean methods.

its one of the most beautiful tools available for mankind to help oneself to evolve better.

now, you want to call it pseudo?!
