Astrology

Astrology is a belief system that posits a relationship between the positions and movements of celestial bodies—such as planets and stars—and events on Earth, particularly human personality and behavior. It is based on the notion that the alignment of celestial bodies at the time of a person’s birth can influence their characteristics and life experiences. Astrology often involves the construction of a natal chart or horoscope, which maps the positions of celestial bodies relative to Earth at the specific time and location of an individual’s birth. Astrologers use this chart to interpret various aspects of a person’s life, including relationships, career, and personal challenges. Astrology encompasses various systems and practices, such as Western astrology, Vedic astrology, and Chinese astrology, each with its own methodologies and interpretations. While astrology has a long history and cultural significance in various societies, it is typically considered a pseudoscience by the scientific community, as its claims lack empirical support and reproducibility.
