One of the flaws of astrology is that the zodiac signs and planet characteristics (female, male, warlike, peaceful, etc.) are completely arbitrary to the culture that invented them. In one culture a planet represents war, in another culture THE SAME planet represents peace. So, which zodiac or astrological belief is right.... the Mayan, the Chaldean, the different American Indian tribes who had differing beliefs about the stars, the Chinese, the many tribes and cultures that have come and gone over history that we don't even know about? Look back at the revival in Britain after World War I of the Chaldean zodiac and how it is now what we call "astrology".   The fact is, people project meaning onto symbols. Humans have a great capacity to imagine and find patterns to fit what they imagine.
Astrology is best understood by learning how it began.
