oh, the OP is about astrology?

soory, my bad

here you go

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology

Astrology (from Greek: ast??, ast??? (astér, astrós), "star", and ?????, ????? (lógos, lógou), "word" or "speech") is a group of systems, traditions, and beliefs in which knowledge of the relative positions of celestial bodies and related details is held to be useful in understanding, interpreting, and organizing information about personality, human affairs, and other terrestrial matters. A practitioner of astrology is called an astrologer, or, less often, an astrologist. Numerous traditions and applications employing astrological concepts have arisen since its earliest recorded beginnings in the 2nd millennium BCE.[1] It has played a role in the shaping of culture, early astronomy, and other disciplines throughout history.

technically, stars are big balls of gases

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star

A star is a massive, luminous ball of plasma. Stars group together to form galaxies, and they dominate the visible universe. The nearest star to Earth is the Sun, which is the source of most of the energy on Earth, including daylight. Other stars are visible in the night sky, when they are not outshone by the Sun. A star shines because nuclear fusion in its core releases energy which traverses the star's interior and then radiates into outer space. Almost all elements heavier than hydrogen and helium were created inside the cores of stars.

Well if you were a religious man you could look at the stars and say they testify of the awesome majesty of God or of the Creation. Or you could stare up at them at night and wonder if there was really a big bang.

Maybe they are just there for to beautify the Heavens.

If you really want to see the stars you need to be in a location away from the city lights. I went camping a few years back and the sars are even more awesome than most people realize.
