Again, that is correct. 
Now, around that time, what was the culture in ancient Mesopotamia? Use Carthage and Phoenicia as a start point because they were the ones that took astrology from Mesopotamia to Greek and the Mediterranean.

They, like all empires around the world, evolved, tried to expand and find meaning in the world. They also, like all empires around the world, experienced war and hardship. 

Things like children getting killed or raped was definitely not exclusive to their culture, it happened everywhere. I mean it unfortunately still happens.

>Plato: 'With us, for instance, human sacrifice is not legal, but unholy, whereas the Carthaginians perform it as a thing they account holy and legal, and that too when some of them sacrifice even their own sons to Cronos, as I daresay you yourself have heard.' (Minos 315)
>Plutarch: 'Would it not then have been better for those Gauls 1 and Scythians 2 to have had absolutely no conception, no vision, no tradition, regarding the gods, than to believe in the existence of gods who take delight in the blood of human sacrifice and hold this to be the most perfect offering and holy rite ? Again, would it not have been far better for the Carthaginians to have taken Critias or Diagoras 3 to draw up their law-code at the very beginning, and so not to believe in any divine power or god, rather than to offer such sacrifices as they used to offer to Cronos? 4 These were not in the manner that Empedocles describes 5 in his attack on those who sacrifice living creatures :
Changed in form is the son beloved of his father so pious, Who on the altar lays him and slays him. What folly !
No, but with full knowledge and understanding they themselves offered up their own children, and those who had no children would buy little ones from poor people and cut their throats as if they were so many lambs or young birds ; meanwhile the mother stood by without a tear or moan ; but should she utter a single moan or let fall a single tear, she had to forfeit the money, 6 and her child was sacrificed nevertheless ; and the whole area before the statue was filled with a loud noise of flutes and drums so that the cries of wailing should not reach the ears of the people. Yet, [p. 495] if Typhons or Giants were ruling over us after they had expelled the gods, with what sort of sacrifices would they be pleased, or what other holy rites would they require?
Why are you trying to minimize the culture of the ones that created astrology anon?

Can you explain how this is relevant? Even if during a small part of their history they performed child sacrifice, how is that worse than other empires (at the same time) committing genocide, raping and hurting women or children? They were all bloodthirsty and focused on war and power.

Can you name an evolved empire that did not commit atrocities?

>Can you explain how this is relevant?
So it's not relevant to you that the people that created astrology and pushed it to the mediterranean had also a cultured based on child sacrifices and trauma? 
>They were all bloodthirsty and focused on war and power.
You even are trying to project the blame of this degenerated culture into others.

You know this culture is corrupt, you know this people murdered and raped children, you know this people culture was trauma based, and you are trying to minimize it or talk about others.
Basically, this again

No? Because Astrology itself had nothing to do with child sacrifice and wasn't developed by priests who ran outside to sacrifice children.

I'm literally asking you to name a single culture that wasn't degenerate and didn't commit 'trauma' acts upon children or other people. You can't. They all did. Maybe they didn't sacrifice their own children, but they would torture and kill women and other children.
