Well yeah, but I mean within the idea of astrology. It’s kind of an interesting question if you think about it. Even within our own solar system… if we become a multiplanetary society and astrology still exists, how is it determined? Do you still decide things based on where other planets are in relation to Earth?
I’ve been working on a scifi fantasy story idea about pagans on Mars for years. I love the idea of a colonized mars, and pagans with a mars centric religion
I like that idea. A similar thing I’ve wondered is about Muslims on another planet. They are supposed to face Mecca when they pray. Which direction does a Muslim on Mars (or even the moon) face?
So, Muslims on the ISS need to face earth when not possible to determine the location of, or if moving too quickly to reasonably face, mecca. On the moon or another planet, it would presumably be the same. They face earth
I’m sure the location of Venus, and that Mars is in retrograde or not (relative to Earth), have a huge effect on the destiny of Klingons born on Qo’noS

Or yourself. Like Mercury is in retrograde bc you turned left.
Really it illustrates how ludicrous the whole idea of astrology is.
The fact that twins exist, and have different lives, shows how ludicrous it is.

I know this one!

Would that mean they might have to lie on their backs?
Somehow I don’t think so… Lol
