Nah, there’s no self deprecation in that. It’s more like they’re just rationalizing their shitty behavior ahead of time by pretending they have a characteristic that’s entirely out of their control.
“Sorry I’m just [choosing to be] a bitch” is more accurate.
Worked with a couple people over the years who straight out said they are hard to deal with. Had much less problems with them than those who said "they could work with anyone"
I've known a guy making predictions using astrology. Then his predictions completely missed COVID, only one of the biggest disruptions in our lives, and never talked about astrology again.
Astrology is so complex, there's always a way to give yourself an out. "Oh, I see why that one was wrong! I forgot to factor in the Perseid meteor shower."
One time I told this girl I've known for a long time that my birthday was in June and she said "wait your a cancer? that explains so much" and I really wanted to say "really, so what explains why you're such a bitch" unfortunately I was surrounded by a bunch of kids at the time so my rebuttal had to go missed
One of the managers at my job does this but with her disc profile. She makes everyone take one when they start as well. She seems to believe she's the smartest person in the room, yet she's over here eating up pseudoscience because she thinks it excuses her shitty behavior.

I’ve read that astrology is actually an accurate predictor of personality, provided the person believes in it. It becomes a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy where the person that believes in it assumes the traits that they’re told they’re supposed to have. Many of the traits given for each sign are so universal that everybody probably exhibits some amount of all of them at some point in their lives. Believing in astrology though probably causes people to focus on those aspects more because they’re molding their personality to fit what they’ve read.
I imagine people predicting stuff about different Ages are just molding their worldview to fit whatever they’ve read, that theory definitely has a pro-religious bias. Winning wars was valued long before the time of Christ and it’s atheists that are considered offensive, not religions.
