    in fiction because it doesn’t claim predictive capabilities on reality

    Lots of works of fiction make claims about reality.

    there are anti-materialist things in astrology because it claims predictive

    How seriously those are taken is up to the person. You’re treating astrology in a way that most people interested in it don’t. Its less of a religion and more like a magic 8-ball.

    This is very silly. Not everything needs to fit into a “materialst/anti-materialist” box.

    What about reading works of fiction? Playing card games? Watching movies? Studying languages? Learning a skill? None of these have anything to do with materialism or production. Are the people engaging in them, “anti-materialist”? Are the activities “anti-materialist”?

    There’s absolutely nothing wrong with astrology, its a fun hobby like anything else.
