Jyotisa is also Krishna upadesa but in the category of pravritti marga. Shyamasundara P. compares astrologers to doctors. If we live a healthy life we dont need doctors but they can be helpful when we get sick.

Jyotish is one of the six Vedangas, so it is a bonafide science. There are Jyotishis in India, sitting on the side of road, and if you give five rupees, they will tell your future. 99 out of 100 such jyotishis are somehow trying to make some money, they are not real astrologers. It is nice that you trust in Krishna Updesa as coming from Srila Prabhupada.

Hari Bol.
