ok,
so astrology outdates modern science.
1] it doesnt make it a science.
2]witchcraft outdates modern science.
3]human/animal sacrifice outdates modern science.
3]not using condoms outdates modern science.
4]eating food raw outdates modern science.
5]moving around naked with a VERY hairy body and a plank of wood with a stone at its end outdates everything.
does it make any of these things better ? nope, the older they are the worse they get (in most cases, but they never get better.)
so the argument about how an ancient activity automatically achieves a superior status is false. modern scientific understanding of the universe(and the human body) is the best we have yet.

so he's unwell.
well ok he did a foolish thing is his desperation. fine.
but we oughta tell him whats right and try to undo the damage done.
people do infact die becaue they ignore modern medicine and take up street garbage.

and not only this, things like astrology, homeopathy, accupuncture, yoga etc create misinformation about things.
i dont think astrology even knows that stars are just like our sun. it treats them differently. this isnt science. its dogma.
all the forces from the stars that reach you, reach u in much larger proportions from the sun. even at night.
the forces/energy from the stars to you is weaker than the force of the chair u are siting on to you.
