1* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Children born under the sign of Wasanda are said to be future leaders of Regorian society. It doesn't take much of a leap of logic to suggest that the Prefect might be a Wasanda himself. It then follows that the whole thing is simply a stratified FantasticCasteSystem whose leadership class are personally invested in maintaining the status quo beyond the mere {{scapegoat}}ing of Giliacs, [[StrawHypocrite whether or not they actually believe the astrological nonsense they're spouting]].
2* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Some people have [=WMG=]ed that the ruling Rigorians know their astrology system isn't real and simply use it to enforce a caste system. Alas, this concept is never explored in the episode, and the vehemence with which the First Prefect defends this system seemingly demonstrates that they ''do'' wholeheartedly believe in it.
