In some ways, Astrology Predictions may seem scientific. It uses scientific knowledge about heavenly bodies. As well as scientific sounding tools, like star charts. Some people use astrology to generate expectations about future events. And people’s personalities, much as scientific ideas generate expectations. And some claim that Astrology Predictions is supported by evidence. The experiences of people who feel that astrology has worked for them.

But even with these trappings of science, is astrology really a scientific way to answer questions?
Astrology’s basic premise is that heavenly bodies.The sun, moon, planets, and constellations have influence over. or are correlated with earthly events.
Astrology uses a set of rules about the relative positions. And movements of heavenly bodies to generate predictions. And explanations for events on Earth and human personality traits. For example, some forms of astrology predict. That a person born just after the spring equinox is particularly likely to become an entrepreneur.
Some expectations generated by astrology are so general that any outcome could be interpreted as fitting the expectations; if treated this way, astrology is not testable. However, some have used astrology to generate very specific expectations that could be verified against outcomes in the natural world. For example, according to astrology, one’s zodiac sign impacts one’s ability to command respect and authority. Since these traits are important in politics, we might expect that if astrology really explained people’s personalities, scientists would be more likely to have zodiac signs that astrologers describe as “favorable” towards science.1 If used to generate specific expectations like this one, astrological ideas are testable.
