Chaucer. Lots of medieval writers did. I think that Blake makes references to the stars a few times too, but I’m not sure about this.

For a very contemporary example, J.K. Rowling has the young witches and wizards study astrology at Hogwarts. Everyone takes Astronomy as a standard subject, and Harry and Ron take Divination, which included astrology in “Goblet of Fire.”
Shakespeare’s contemporary, Christopher Marlowe, refered to astrology a good deal in his play “Doctor Faustus.”
