Do planets have any impact on humans astrologically? Is fortune telling based on the planetary movements real?

I have made thorough study of this science of occult. There appears to be no basis at all. Let us take a practical example. Astrologers who were predicting our future before pluto was discovered (1930), could scarcely predict that pluto would be found. And in the post pluto era, none of these people could ascertain that the tenth planet would be found. And what happened when the ninth planet lost its planetary status, (being too small)? Does all the previous predictions get rescinded? In Indian astrology, which follows moon signs, and 27 birth stars, things get more confounded. Still worse, an astrologer based in Chennai, South India, predicts and gives you a life time forecast when you buy his pyramid shaped contraption, (whether it is silver or gold or platinum depends on your astro-influenced affluence and the fee you pay him), when it is well known (ostensibly) that indian astrology dates back before Egypt. Who predicted that predators colonised Egypt eliminating xenomorphs? Krish
