Causation and correlation; you need to understand that at some point something happened, or a chain of things happened and somebody who was interested in the movements of planets saw a pattern. The interesting thing is that you can see patterns in all sorts of things which have nothing to do with each other - that's our primitive brain at work. Somehow that person reading too deeply into the movements of the planets has convinced generations of people who don't understand science that they are in some way linked.
