I didn't say anything about causation vs correlation, just that the RAE is well studied. It's in essence a large amount of research on the correlation of the relative age of people that all participate in the same activities around the same dates (unsurprisingly, younger ages correlated with worse outcomes in many cases). The athletics research is interesting because of how far back the data goes, which does actually control for astrological effects as things like season start dates and school year schedules haven't been set in stone.

I think you're inferring a bias against pseudoscience, which is good because the core of learning more about our universe is skepticism and finding empirical evidence to confirm belief. I don't believe you can find any such evidence for astrology that doesn't have a far simpler and compelling explanation, thus it would be extremely difficult to convince anyone that astrology "works."

Construct a hypothesis that's testable and conduct an experiment, either directly or through the collection of evidence. Then analyze and contrast against other explanations to draw conclusions. That's what it comes down to. It doesn't sound like you have done that.
