The role of astrology is actually the same as divination. They are not science, but a placebo and a form of positive psychological suggestion. Believing in the favorable descriptions about oneself, divination also provides beneficial content for you. This is called the Barnum effect. Ignoring the descriptions and content that are unfavorable to oneself. Believing that you are good, and the situation will develop in many positive directions. This is called a self-fulfilling prophecy/Pygmalion effect. Worrying that you are not good enough, and becoming anxious every day. This is called a negative self-fulfilling prophecy. I mostly view astrology with a positive mindset.
