Astrology

Astrology is the study of the positions and movements of celestial bodies—such as planets and stars—and their potential influence on human affairs and natural phenomena. It is based on the belief that the alignment of these celestial objects at the time of a person’s birth can shape their personality, behaviors, and life path. Astrology encompasses various systems and practices, including horoscopes, which provide insights based on the zodiac signs; natal charts, which are personalized diagrams illustrating the positions of celestial bodies at a specific time; and predictive astrology, which aims to forecast future events. Historically, astrology has been linked to ancient cultures and has evolved into various branches, including Western astrology, Vedic astrology, and Chinese astrology. Despite its popularity and historical significance, astrology is often categorized as a pseudoscience because it lacks empirical scientific validation and relies on interpretations that can be subjective.
