It would not matter if there were a correlation between the original structure of the Legion and astrology, it would still be as valid - indeed, so far as the ancients were concerned the distinction between astrology and astronomy was blurred.......and such a study of ancient astrology/astronomy CAN shed light on historical questions - witness the Babylonian astrology/astronomy diaries that shed light on certain aspects of the history of Alexander ( see Jona's 'Livius' site).....
