Astrology being present in the bible doesn't mean it was designed for God's people to practice it.
Many heathen, sinful practices were mentioned as things 'Not to do' this doesn't take away from the presence of Stars & planets being used by God as omens for events yet to occur.

so many parents are emotionally underdeveloped to a point where their needs are in competition w/ their kids. it forces children into perpetual tug of war that makes them have to deny their authenticity
I think people are afraid to raise their kids with knowledge, to explain themselves to children, to support them having a questioning mind because they know at some point,
Their child will question them, their child will challenge them, their child will call them out...
