MBTI Vs. Astrology Vs. Religion - The Fact, The Fiction, The Faith

Sorry for the bump, I know this is an old thread, but I found a relevant example.

Edgar Cayce & David Wilcock (Respectively,)

These two guys have very similar if not the exact same astrological construction. David Wilcox believes he is the reincarnation of Edgar Cayce.

I can't give you guys much information because I haven't looked into it (in depth) yet, but a book has been written about it, and I was wondering if this gave some credibility to my argument/astrology in general, you guys can look into it if you want to.
(I assume you guys looked into this thread because you were interested in the topic and didn't just want to tell me "Astrology is bull".)

Here is the book.

when you get right down to it there is no isolated event which doesn't play a role on how reality unfolds. regardless of severity, impact, and grandeur of event. from the bottom of the bucket up you have a tiny, miniscule, microscopic, horrendously miniature foundation composed of the stuff making up atoms, cells, and all the elements which when put together in vast amounts composes reality. we are just a nominal level in this hierarchy of existence. now even though these atoms or whatever level is your choice is sort of separated from us, even though making us into living breathing things, our actions directly influence these little guy's vitality and efficiency. when i smoke cigarettes i am harming my lungs, or more the tissue, or more the cells composing the tissue, or maybe (?i'm out of my element here?) the atoms composing the cells which creates the tissue which allows my body to facilitate my lungs. a separate source from my level of existence causing a chain reaction down to the plane to which you wouldn't have any conclusive evidence of it existing without modern scientific tools of perception.

i think this plays a part in seeing astrology for what it is. these massive heavenly bodies, while separated from us by an astronomical distance, still plays it's role in influence. obviously in the orbit of our planet and all those other planets in our system. but what's to say while these gargantuan balls of solids and gasses in this sea of atoms and the stuff composing atoms haven't a subtler effect? like taking vitamins to bolster various functions of our bodies and such? or recognizing that yes, while in sunlight cells are vitalized, sort of like when your planet enters into the constellation (again, REALLY out of my element) to have some sort of gravitational pull in personal conduct or psychological composition for the time being?

There are lots of variables in a natal chart, sun, moon, ascendant, mercury, venus, mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune, pluto and of course, where in the chart they are located and how they interact with each other. The signs certainly don't need to be next to each other (well, except for venus and mercury are usually pretty close to the sun sign).

Human Design (Google if you'd like to find out more) says that we are bathed in neutrinos and that they affect our personalities. That's sort of the premise of astrology, too. (Human Design uses astrology plus other systems)
