We know, already, what the influence of the moon and its cycles are on the earth. The movement of the tides, the effect on the female menses. If you ask policemen, paramedics, doctors and nurses about the effect of the full moon many will tell you of the increased activity in human psychological behavior at that time. It is said that the planets in our solar system, whilst much further away, still exert some influence on humans albeit in a much more subtle way.
I think what Astrology does is examine the influences of the universe on humans. The position of the planets, their aspects to other planets and the subsequent influence. It's archetypal and psychological. Also the type of upbringing an individual has, be it cultural or racial.

That's not entirely true. Your natal or birth chart provides a blueprint or a recipe if you will to your development as a human. Cultural biases, your family life, peer group pressure, all play a significant role in a persons early psychological formation. If you had an extremely hard family life, your reaction to the "blueprint" provided may be extremely different than if you had a ideal upbringing. If you were born in to a strict fundamentalist christian or muslim family you may have had your personality shaped in a different way than if you were born into a free love, hippy lifestyle.
