It's possible to think that astrology is useful even if the positions of celestial bodies don't actually matter.

Useful in what sense then? The placebo effect?
I use it as a psychological projection tool. I use divinatory tools like astrology, tarot, or the I Ching to examine how I'm perceiving and processing my circumstances. Seeing what fits, what doesn't, what I want to fit, and what I want not to fit. imo, folks that say it "isn't real" are missing the point.
