People is born in seasons, constellations and planets appear in seasons, and so ancient smart people made a connection.

Then the largest actor interested in destroying Astrology is the Catholic Church for reasons. The church also had wrong astronomical theories. Science evolved, but we inherited a dead horse to beat.

The reasons the Catholic Church did away with astrology can be explained in a one liner. Catholicism assumes a belief in free will, and the claimed predictive power of astrology contradicted this, and so was deemed blasphemous.
