I actually do think that some astrology has merit.... hear me out:

As we all know, the environmental conditioning of children and even infants, can affect their development greatly. Children born in certain months and seasons would have different environmental factors influencing their development. For example, a child born in spring and early summer in Europe would be less likely to be born during a famine. Such a child might have a huge advantage in their cognitive development over autumn and winter babies, as malnurishment slows cognitive development. This could be the origin of how ancient people thought that being born under certain constellations might be more "lucky" or "fortunate". They might simply have been better equipped mentally.

Also, infants and young children with less hardship would obviously develop different personality traits than children who had to endure hardships, or whose parents might have had to spend less time coddling them because they were dealing with rougher seasonal conditions. For example; people whose astrological sign predicted them to be "emotional" might have had experiences related to the season they were born that made them develop such a personality. A winter baby might be held more and develop a more nurishing personality. A summer baby might be left alone more and might become more independent, but maybe more wreckless and intaverted.

I think nowadays, this is probably moot as we control our environment much better now, but back 300 years and earlier, I can see how people born during certain months might be mentally, psychologically, and even physically different and how that could easily given them different "paths".
