This is clear shirk!

In our region, a lot of people believe on the a term called “zaicha” for marriae proposals. In this practice a person (aalim) takes girl’s and boy’s name along with date of births and mother’s maiden name and using their “knowledge of stars” they find the result. They called this trick Islamic and usually named as “Istikhara”. Can you please elaborate how does common man understand and trust it?
