Arguments against astrology

[Point.]

There aren't 12 but 13 constellations
Why each constellation consists of 30 degrees when it's inaccurate
They would have changed the positions throughout the years
These arguments make a lot of sense how do you adress them?

These criticisms are quite irrelevant when astrology is understood properly. Some astrologers try to present it as an objective science and these criticisms get them, but it really isn't. Astrology should be thought of as an intuitive divination method, not an objective science. This article explains it better:

With the 13th zodiac, I suppose I don’t even really understand it, however, astrology is a science. It’s fallows the scientific method and shows repeatable results over and over. It can be proven to work.

It is a right brained science though and doesn’t conform to the standard logic of left brained sciences. That’s the part you need to let go of to understand astrology better. It is a part of reality and it works and is a full science like any other things. As such, it is extremely complicated and even professionals are learning new things everyday on the subject. Just is the way it is. How the 13th zodiac fits in, is unknown to me personally. But it’s clear by observing it doesn’t greatly interfere with the general practical understanding of western astrology that we have. Because the traditions of western astrology work. This is easily observed.

These arguments are the result of astronomical thinking in astrology which is based on straight mathematical observation. Astrology follows a similar method, but it is another science, not astronomy. Astrology deals with the psychological expression of the psychic and occult energies that come from the bodies, which have an expression that is manifested through a current astrological system, and can be traced in their effects on human beings. This does not follow astronomical precision.

Astronomically there are many more constellations than the 12 or 13, but these are irrelevant and not taken in conjunction or of importance in astrology. Astrology is a system of divination based on the stars on the heaven, but "In itself", it remains a system of analysis in it's own merit.

Light travelling to earth, may come even from "Dead" stars according to astronomy. However, none of these stars are really "Dead" in our timeline, and they will be alive for thousands or potentially millions of years, as their rays are still emmitted to us and cause viable personality effects. This is one example on the astrology side of things compared to astronomy.

The year has 12 Solar months, and 13 Lunar months [cycles of the moon in total for a given year]. These roughly total 365 days.

Try to study a Natal Chart, you will see how much Astrology is accurate. You can study the Charts of famous people, and see with your own eyes that Astrology is very very reliable.
People who try to make this arguments, claiming Astrology is a fake science, are ALWAYS completely ignorant about the subject, and don't even know the names of the Zodiac Signs, but somehow without knowing anything, they want to convince you that it's not true. Really pathetic. NO ONE WHO HAS STUDIED REAL ASTROLOGY WILL TELL YOU IT'S FAKE. It's very obvious once you start to study. People who claim Astrology isn't reliable have never studied it in their life. It's a fact.

The Zodiac is made up of 12 Signs. Multiple Zodiacs would be if one is to count the Zodiac around our star, the Zodic around Alpha Centauri, the Zodiac around X star, etc.

As we know, there are 360 degrees in a circle (the Sun moving through the Signs). 360/30=12. Shouldn't the months be altered to be 30 days each?
