Science of Astrology
Astrology consists of several pseudoscientific systems of
divination that are based on the premise that there is a relationship between
astronomical phenomena and events in the human world.
Many cultures have
attached importance to astronomical events, and the Indians, Chinese, and
Mayans developed elaborate systems for predicting terrestrial events from
celestial observations.
In the West, astrology most often consists of a system
of horoscopes purporting to explain aspects of a person's personality and
predict future events in their life based on the positions of the sun, moon,
and other celestial objects at the time of their birth. The majority of
professional astrologers rely on such systems.
