I'm approaching astrology and horoscope from a more "social role" perspective than a strictly internet-atheist-boy one.
That's why I can put them together. They work together to create an effect in society. Astrology and horoscope belong together and support each other. Doesn't matter if one of them is less random.
The aspects you described (stars, cellestial bodies, energy) directly refer to scientific concepts. Which I find hilarious. It totally didn't started like that.
Look at what you said: light, kinds of energy. It totally is a domesticated strain of an earlier belief that was much different. The very domesticated strain you defend still supports the general idea of things like horoscope (in social dynamics terms), but it has come a long way in becoming more secular.
I would say my first description (a less virulent strain is possible) is spot on.
