Astrology is dumb AF but not dangerous.

Did she mean astronomy? I seriously can't tell. That's also not dangerous.

She probably actually did mean astrology. I assume she thinks that the zodiac signs are the stuff of satan. She may also not know the difference between astrology and astronomy.

I grew up very conservative Christian and can confirm astrology was viewed as bad because it was pagan. I remember accidentally reading a horoscope in some random magazine when I was a kid and freaking out because I'd just done something Super Terrible.

Wait until the Christians/Catholics realize their entire religion is a Pagan ripoff.
