What exactly? Would you like the whole letter of the RambaM ?

Rambam was a man, so why does his teachings of oral law override the others before him, that's if they do? I hope this doesn't come off rude!

Yes, the minim were mentioned in the Talmudh. The sages some time later as well established the prayer against the minim in the Shemono Esri prayers. Rambam came some time later and codified the laws in his book Mishna Torah.
Not rude at all, and his laws don't necessarily override anyone else's. Just that he codified the laws very well and codified ALL of the laws dealing with probably every issue that his work hold's a lot of weight. He was also a great genius both in Torah -or "religious" and "secular" realms.

No, I would like to know where the Rambam derived his response to astrology from?

The reason I ask is... Using astrology to tell the future is inappropriate, I understand that, but in a simple form it can be very useful. You kind of can tell the future with astrology, by paying attention to the moon phases and the seasons, represented by the Stars. You can tell the affects on the earth, and the habits of animals and their movements.
