Still seems like a problem of religion rather than the practice of astrology in and of itself. You can politicise any otherwise innocuous practice and make it nefarious, but that’s the fault of the political actor rather than a failing of the practice in my opinion.
It sort of evolved together and is an actual part of the religion so it would differ from the western perspective (or anywhere where else without such a practice spanning back thousands of years) where it is innocuous.
