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*

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.

There is strong evidence to suggest that many leading scientific pioneers were interested in astrology and horoscopes and believed they had some value. The validity of horoscopes can be questioned, however, such figures as Carl Jung, Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei and Nicolaus Copernicus all had an interest in horoscopes and astrology in general
Astrology and horoscopes have been used since around 2000 BCE.
Astrology, horoscopes, religion, superstitious behavior.
Horoscopes are based on astrology, which posits that the positions and movements of celestial bodies can influence human behavior and events. While many people find personal meaning and enjoyment in horoscopes, scientific evidence does not support astrology as a valid or reliable method for predicting personality or future events. Therefore, whether one views horoscopes as meaningful or fake often depends on personal beliefs and experiences.
