Comparing how often the predictions come true to what would be expected by pure chance
Astrology, including horoscopes, is considered a pseudoscience by the scientific community. Pseudoscience is a belief or process that claims to be based on scientific principles but lacks empirical evidence, consistent methodology, and refutation, making it inherently unscientific. Here are some reasons why astrology, including horoscopes, is not considered scientifically valid: Lack of empirical evidence: Scientific theories and concepts are supported by extensive empirical evidence obtained through controlled experiments, observations, and measurements. Astrology does not meet this standard; Its principles are not supported by scientific evidence. Unforgeability: Scientific theories are formulated so that they can be tested and potentially disproved by experiments or observations. Astrology often relies on vague or ambiguous interpretations, making it difficult to objectively verify or falsify its claims.
They are not scientific. They are based on an ancient belief that the planets were gods and could influence our lives in ways that science has now proven they cannot. ******* The only scientific part of astrology in my opinion is the actual casting of the horoscope since it is based on the positions of the planets...that cannot be disputed. The rest of astrology is art and intuition. This is why so many scientists poo poo astrology, because the interpretation or divination of the chart is something that cannot be tested as far as everyone responds to a certain transit or progression the same. Science wants a theory to be proven under controlled circumstances. Humans are not able to be controlled. Some will react to an aspect of their chart in one way, while another will handle it totally different. So, scientific? Sure, to a very limited extent. The rest is up to a good astrologer to decipher it all! --- Juli*

By Definition (from Wikipedia)Pseudoscience is a claim, belief, or practice which is presented as scientific, but which does not adhere to a valid scientific methodology, lacks supporting evidence or plausibility, cannot be reliably tested, or otherwise lacks scientific status.So pseudoscience is NOT real science.
Scientists answer questions by using the scientific method (making observations, doing experiments, formulating, testing, and modifying hypotheses). In all experiments where this process has been used to test its validity, astrology has failed.
🌟 What is Traditional Astrology? A Complete Guide for Beginners Traditional astrology is the ancient system of predicting life events and understanding personality traits using the movement of celestial bodies like planets, stars, and the moon. Unlike modern astrology, which often focuses on psychology, traditional astrology is rooted in classical techniques passed down from ancient civilizations like Babylon, Greece, and India. 📜 Origins of Traditional Astrology Traditional astrology dates back thousands of years. Some of its roots can be found in: Vedic Astrology (Jyotish) – India Hellenistic Astrology – Ancient Greece Persian & Islamic Astrology – Middle East Medieval Western Astrology – Europe These systems were used by kings, rulers, and sages for making decisions about war, marriage, health, and more. 🪐 Key Features of Traditional Astrology Planetary Rulerships Each planet governs certain zodiac signs and aspects of life. For example, Mars rules Aries and signifies courage and aggression. Houses and Signs The sky is divided into 12 houses and 12 zodiac signs. Traditional astrology gives strong importance to house rulers and planetary dignity. Essential and Accidental Dignities Planets are considered strong or weak based on their position. A planet in its own sign (like Venus in Taurus) is more powerful.

A theory must have explanatory power, predictive ability, and be falsifiable. It should also be based on empirical evidence and be able to be tested and refined through scientific methods.

Astrology is a pseudo-science based on the view that the stars and planets exert a strong influence on human affairs. It claims that the relative positions of the heavenly bodies at an individual's birth determine his or her basic makeup, and that changing astral positions can be used to predict the future. However, because the heavens were never intended for these purposes, astrology is a dangerous and wrongful practice. Stars were created for calendar keeping and for declaring God's glory. To use them otherwise is idolatry, as warned against throughout Scripture (Deut. 4:19; 2 Kings 23:5; Isa. 47:13). Astrology should not even be consulted for amusement. It is connected with the forces of evil and can lead to other occult practices and bondage to sin. Astrology has three major flaws, each of which cancels any claim to scientific validity. # First, astrology fails to succeed when tested against reality. For example, the distribution of the heavens at the moment of birth is supposed to determine one's astrological sign and thus one's personality and future. On that basis, twins should have nearly identical lives. However, twins often vary greatly in talent, personality, and the paths of life they choose. Remember Jacob and Esau (Gen. 25:19-34). # Second, one's so-called astrological sign is no longer valid. Because of the precession of the earth's axis, a person is actually born under a different star sign than is assigned by the outdated horoscopes in use today. Astrology is based on the former positions of stars (as they were 3,000 years ago in Babylonian times). Each year, the error in dating the zodiac signs grows greater. # Third, it is impossible for the stars to have an effect on a person, much less on world events. The gravity of stars and planets is the only force that acts through space distances, and its effect if negligible on Earth.
As genetic testing becomes more available both in terms of quality and affordability of test, more people will choose to be tested for genetic conditions and predictive risk assessment.
