I'm not an astrologer myself (although I did consider it) but I was thinking...I don't know the exact history of Astrology, but the names of the planets are clearly Lucidian, and the Astrologer mobs in guildhouses that I've seen are Lucidian (also from the same family). I know it's not a primary skill, but shouldn't Lucidians get some sort of slight benefit, much like some races can use weapons more effectively?

I like this idea.

The same can be said about Orclach and Necromancy as well, but they haven't gotten anything since.. well the start of the game.

AHA! I was wondering what the crazy lady at the top of the Black Tower was there for, but I can't get her to say anything or explain why the hell she's up there...
Sure, an astrology boost for lucidians could be stellar. But how could it be done? Something like the Ascendant/Descendant 'abilities', or a racial boost amplifying astrological rays?
Let's ask Shiri! -casts a Shiri summoning ray-

Yes, it could be done, you could just make spheres 5% more positive on them or something.
But that isn't a good enough reason...
EDIT: Just so you know, though, Arkzrael - those lucidians all split over to different guildhalls because the guilds were needed to cooperate with something and they all disagreed on which guild was best to do it. I was asleep during that part of the event though (sigh, not American) so I forget what it was.

Very nice idea from an RP/history standpoint. Yes, astrology is a Lucidian science, that's definitely established canon:
QUOTE
9.3.10 ASTROLOGY
The science of astrology revolves upon the movement of the celestial bodies.
Notably, the science was in the caretaking of Hallifax lucidians, who named
the outer planets in their own tongue. Knowledge of astrology was lost for
some time after the Taint Wars, though it was recovered and taught to wiccan
and guardian guilds.
