It's funny cause the constellations that they're supposed to be based off of aren't even correct with the months so literally everything they say is wrong

The Sidereal traditions correct for the precession, the Tropical ones are frozen and increasingly out of sync. Tropical is the majority tradition among westerners. The big tradition in India, Jyotish, is Sidereal, but mainstream Jyotish doesn't acknowledge planets beyond Saturn, the ones that needed a telescope to be discovered.

I, uh, tried a lot of things in the long years before I found Marx. susie-blush

doesn't acknowledge planets beyond Saturn

That checks out. I can understand things 1.2 billion km away influencing things on earth, but any further than that is ridiculous.
