Pseudoscience is usually identified by the following criteria: # Use of vague, exaggerated or untestable claims # Over-reliance on confirmation rather than refutation # Lack of openness to testing by other experts # Absence of progress # Personalization of issues # Use of misleading language If you take Astrology as an example; it qualifies (in spades) under criteria 1, 2 and 4: astrological predictions are classically vague, "negative" results are often ignored, essentially astrology is the same as it was thousands of years ago.
