Astrology is fun if you don't take it seriously. Same with tarot. I'm a 100% atheist but I do a tarot reading every night before bed to help with abstract reflection on the day. It means nothing, but it's makes me look at things from a different angle.
If she wants to do a star chart for you then just relax and have fun. It's a way for you two to talk about your lives and a conversation starter. She likes you dude, and if you take the opportunity to lecture about why this is silly then are really doing is sending red flags that you'll talk down to her whenever you might disagree.
Edit: I see a lot of self reporting for thinking others are inferior for enjoying these things. Y'all should rethink your biases perhaps. But I am walking away and ignoring this thread now, I have reached my daily intake of sodium chloride for the day.
I agree, but the problem is that a lot of people do take it seriously. It's perfectly fine to enjoy these things if you just think they're fun. But actually believing in things that are demonstrably wrong is definitely a huge red flag for me. I've also become extremely negative towards astrology in particular because I've had to deal with family who used to take it at face value and also because I love astronomy, which, to me, gets tainted by this pseudoscience nonsense that sort of imitates it.
