      There are movements of the moon and sun through the different houses, patterns of how various things move in the sky. Interpretations can vary, but the stars have been moving the same for thousands of years. Although, I think the timing of when each house is in the sky has shifted slightly over the last 10k years

      Astrology is actually pretty complicated. The little bits you see in the newspaper are, theoretically, based on the relationships between the distances between the moon, the sun, and the 'houses' of the horoscope. In addition, if you're a 'real' astrology practitioner, you don't just look at what you're sign is, you want to do a full birth chart, looking at all of those positions, making it so the reading is different every day.

      I'm not trying to say complicated = real of course, but it is a belief with depth. You mention inconsistency is beliefs, which is probably true, but asking different groups and getting different answers is pretty common in spiritualism.
