Sorry, what does this have to do with (a)theism? The growing interest in astrology among the young correlates with their growing atheism.

"checkmate, atheists!" is an old meme. I think it might have originated from this video (but maybe it predates it): https://youtu.be/P47OC439x88

I've only ever seen it used sarcastically by atheists making fun of the kinds of arguments that religious folks make. It was a bigger thing during the heyday of new atheism, I don't see a lot of discourse on the topic these days.

It's just a silly meme used when making a silly argument https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/checkmate-atheists

On the contrary, if it was real, wouldn't you expect every scorpio to be born in the _same_ month of the year instead of the same _two_?

Only if the calendar and zodiac agreed on the month boundaries.

Sadly the actual zodiac and astrology do not agree on the month boundaries. And that is because astrologers are using an out of date calendar.
