There's something of a trend of people getting really upset around discussion over astrology. I've seen everything from accusations that it's misogynist to mock astrology to somehow spreading disease if you mock it. I only have anecdotal examples and have no clue what the wider trends are, since I don't look into it too deeply.
It's not necessarily in situations involving dating someone either, it's something that's come up in normal day to day situations for me. I worked with a person at a food bank who refused to stand too close to me since I radiated what she called Scorpio energy, despite being a Sagittarius. Was really weird.
The astrology thing is around to the point I feel uncomfortable even writing this post, since I really don't want to cause a scene or sound like I'm punching down. I'm not trying to do that but please call me out if I am. I simply do not understand how it became so prevalent and serious.

I suppose people are drawn to mysticism. It could be that science and historical teaching is not good enough that people can use those tools to understand the world around them (very very likely). Also, there might be an inherent yearning to magic or escape and there is some comfort in that I suppose (altho one could be mystic in aesthetic while having your feet on the ground).
