Most of us know that astrology is bullsh*t. However, once it was considered a very important thing, developed, if I am not mistaken, on orders from a king to divine his future.
Now what if instead of stars, natural cycles (i.e. seasons) were used as a basis for a similar system of divination? What kind of a society could develop such a system? Would it be discredited as easily as astrology once science evolves to approx. present day levels? After all, intuitively there seems to be more relation between seasons and human traits than between said traits and planetary/solar motions.
