It's really easy to test whether or not it works - see how well the model predicts on out-of-training sample data. That wouldn't work with astrology.
There's no such thing as "physical properties of the system" other than measurable quantities that can be used to make predictions, which is what this does. There's no reason to be sure that temperature, for example, is a "real" physical property of a system rather than just one of many variables that would help us model it and understand it.
Do you think it's pseudoscientific because there's no theory-ladenness in the predictions?
