Am afraid Astrology is not science. If am not mistaken, according to Psychology, Astrology is considered as Psuedopsychology. Below is a scanned image from my Psychology text book (tho I dropped the course). It would be more effecient for you guys to read directly from my text book instead of me type it out. so here we go...
Well a couple of observations,
1. I was talking about the Vedic astrology and this article is talking about Western astrology, there is a clear difference between them. Vedic is supposed to be more accurate.
2. This article is commenting on inefficiency of the astrologers and no where its debunking Astrology. As I have pointed out earlier, most of the astrologers are after your money, they have not understood this science in totality, they have learnt a little and then they want to predict for you to get money. No offence, but say SURB here is a first yr medical student. If he operates on you then what are the chances of success rate? Does that mean Medical science failed? Vedic astrology is a HUGE field, even the most acclaimed astrologers I have met have only explored at max 40% of it. Its their limitation.
3. Most commercial astrologers that I have seen, have not even understood one basic concept of astrology. They say like most novices out there that stars and constellations control and determine our lives, while in the Astrology books its clearly mentioned that they dont, they just signify the time line. They are like the hands of the clock and you know hands of the clock does not determine anything on their own. Time is a completely different thing than a clock or the hands.
4. This article describes about the daily horoscopes printed on the newspaper. Well they are nothing more than jokes. They are mostly based on western astrology and very broad in nature, they are printed just to motivate the common people to go through the day
5. Again, its talking about acceptance, I do agree. Most commercial astrologers wont tell you your negative traits, because they want to make you feel happy and want your money again. I once told one of my friend ( girl) that she is a ****** and she must be cheating on her husband. And she just was awestruck and pleaded me not to make this public, Well I have not disclosed it to anyone and wont it either. Now how many astrologers will predict such things and speak out?
Well, Xebex I have a strong reason why I think its fail proof if done by real experts. I would suggest you to read some basic books ( i can send you e-books if you want) and find for yourself.
BTW, excellent article and I enjoyed reading this. Can you PM me some good basic psychology books, I would love to read them in me leisure.
