Astrology is a different matter. I don't believe Turing ever advocated it. Jung did.

Jung did.
And Jung and astrology aren't the subject. But as an interesting aside you can also dig out that copy of MDR you seem to have handy and find the quote where he explicitly states that astrology is not to be taken for literal truth but rather for active examples of the personality archetypes cropping up, again, throughout human history. He would consult I Ching or Zoroastrian fire temples if he thought it would help a patient while putting zero literal faith in it.

Actually - here’s a google quote from “Jung Astrology” .. one of the first that comes up is a letter to Freud “I dare say that we shall one day discover in astrology a good deal of knowledge that has been intuitively projected into the heavens. For instance, it appears that the signs of the zodiac are character pictures, in other words libido symbols which depict the typical qualities of the libido at a given moment.” - character pictures and libido symbols don’t sound like “As above so below”
