Many would consider Astrology to be nothing but a complex system of superstitious and otherwise unbsubstantiated beliefs regarding the positions of celestial bodies at the time of one's birth. In fairness, many intelligent and well-educated people are conviced that astrology is accurate and meaningful. I don't know if there is actual objective evidence supporting or refuting the claims of astrology.

Answer 3

These are all English superstitions: If the cows sit down it's going to rain - i can feel the rain coming by my bones aching - red sky at sunset means it will be a fine day - red sky at sunrise means it will rain - "rain before seven, fine before eleven"

Answer 4

Walking under a ladder, Friday the 13th and a Black cat crossing your path are all superstitious examples of something unlucky. The number 7, buying heather from a Gypsy and finding a four leaf clover are examples of luck.

Answer 5

Some examples include the belief that a full moon can cause unusual behavior in people, that eclipses signal impending doom, and that planetary alignments can affect human emotions and actions. Additionally, some people believe that making wishes on shooting stars will make them come true.
