Is astrology a pseudoscience?
Is astrology a pseudoscience? Astrology is a pseudoscience because it claims to be using facts, such as the movement of the planets, to predict human behavior, but in reality there is no factual evidence that supports the idea that the position of the stars and planets affects or predicts how humans behave or their personality traits. If you have ever read your horoscope you can see that this is the case. If astrology were a true science then your horoscope would be fairly accurate all the time, and it would likely be more specific, as well as being the same across all horoscope sites. Instead, your horoscope is different depending on where you look, and it is vague and only somewhat accurate. Astrology is a belief system that looks at planets and stars and their movements and claims to see patterns in human behavior based on these, but there is not enough hard fact or observational work behind it for it to be a true science.
