Astrology

Astrology is a belief system that suggests a connection between the positions and movements of celestial bodies—such as planets and stars—and events and characteristics in human life and the natural world. Practitioners of astrology, known as astrologers, interpret celestial phenomena to provide insights into personality traits, behaviors, and potential future events. Astrology is often associated with the creation of horoscopes, which are charts that map the positions of celestial bodies at a specific time, typically at a person’s birth. Different types of astrology exist, including Western astrology, Vedic astrology, and Chinese astrology, each with its own methods and interpretations. While astrology has a long history and cultural significance in many societies, it is generally considered a pseudoscience by the scientific community because it lacks empirical support and cannot be validated through scientific methods.
