Astrology is a pseudoscience. It has no scientific basis at all. So any company and/or individual that sells astrology predictions, or similar are dealing in pseudoscience.
Also, religion has no scientific basis despite what many priests and churches and other similar institutions say. The "intelligent design" theory is pure pseudoscience, since it discredits millions of years of evolution, of which scientists have proof.
My opinion would be: stay away from religion and astrology. They both deal in pseudoscience.

Some people are saying Scientology or Dianetics
That is not in truth a company but a religion (one full of nuts but a religion nonetheless)
The energy drinks are not pseudoscience - they are usually full of sugar and caffeine which will give you an energy boost (admittedly "drug" based, but it is science that a lot of sugar and caffeine will give you a boost.

Companies that claim to have an "enhanced" water or have found a way of providing free energy. Probably any company that mentions Nikola Tesla.

The Discovery Institute or any other organization that supports Intelligent Design Crationism.

I can't remember his name, but he's always pitching his book about cures they don't want you to know about.. It might be Kevin Trudeau. Most people don't realize he's a convicted felon and has done time for false advertising and a few other convictions for earlier products.
