| You mean astronomy. Huge difference between the two. Astrology is a pseudoscience, and as such has been rejected by the scientific communities as having no explanatory power for describing the universe. Where astrology has been falsifiable, it has been falsified, Since the enlightenment, particularly from the introduction of classical mechanics, common belief in astrology has largely reduced. Scientific testing of astrology has been conducted, and no evidence has been found to support any of the premises or purported effects outlined in astrological traditions. There is no proposed mechanism of action by which the positions and motions of stars and planets could affect people and events on Earth that does not contradict well understood, basic aspects of biology and physics. |
