Ironically, lots of colleges teach pseudo-science; I guess that makes them less than respectable. It is interesting that many in the field of Astronomy take this stance on Astrology, yet there would be no Astronomy without Astrology; the basic premise is that there is a correspondence between events in the heavens and events on Earth. People want to understand and explain events on Earth and in heaven, so they observe both, and in observing both, the correspondence is noticeable. On it's face, this premise is undeniably true; for example, the movements of Earth's moon, it's distance from the Earth, and the moon's mass and it's resulting gravitation cause the tides on Earth. Similarly, our star, the Sun, makes seasons and day and night on Earth possible along with the possibility of life in general.
