Yes, exactly. Uneducated about astrology. I actually find astrology pretty unconvincing as a questionable belief compared to the other existing questionable beliefs like ghosts or magic. But that's just my opinion...

Ah ok, I read it a bit differently. From my experience, I see a lot of people scoff at "unscientific" beliefs or points of view, while not entirely understanding the science of many things themselves. Rather, the authority of Science in our time eclipses that of say, magic or ghosts and so some people are too quick to dismiss something, simply because it doesn't fall in the box of What Is Right.
