This is a basic rebuttal from people like you.
It's not bad practitioners, the field is inherently subjective and without scientific merit while pretending to be otherwise.
You feel it helped you. Great, happy for you! Some people think astrology is a very good and positive influence in their lives. Great for them too.
Regardless of that, my life shouldn't be ruled by pseudo-science and I really resent that these people get to strip anyone of their civil rights based on simply their opinions and nothing else.
