How can we associate a star which is there for a long time before our birth?

This is not just a matter of distance. This is a matter of scientific investigation. We associate any two things when there is correlation. You may correlate light to heat. You may correlate height to mass or weight.

Even if there is correlation between certain planets and us, this must be general and not individual specific. For example, Sun is also a star that gives us heat. Sun gives heat to all and not specific individuals.

It is funny that same star affects us differently. For some. a star is good and others bad. The astrologers have devised different zodiac signs on basis of birth date, birth place or name. Then they forecast on such baseless correlation.
