Linda,
Many, many moons ago before the time of Galileo, the wise men (astrologers) believed they had every star in the heavens numbered.
Depending on the location they estimated that there were qround 1,000 - 1,500 stars in the heavens.
Then came Galileo with two pieces of glass and he made a telescope, which showed that there were 10,000 or more stars.
In 1946 the 200 inch telescope was put into use and there were now millions of stars.
They even discovered the milky way which was estimated that it was 11 light years away.
Then they discovered that our universe was part of the Milky Way and our universe was like a grain of sand on a beach (within the Milky Way. They say that there are 200 million stars (like our sun) in the Milky Way.
They have also discovered that if a person would hold their index finger out at arms length, it would represent 15 degrees in the heavens and there are 1,500 galaxies within that 15 space.
And they haven't even began to touch the wonderful things that were created.
My bible tells me that the stars of the heavens ar as the sands of the sea.
Now I have a question.
Why have they included the other stars to be controlling factors in people's life?
I ask this question in ingnorance because I was never able to accept the thought that a mere body in the heaven could control my life.
I always believe that the creator of all that is was the one that had control of it!
