Astrology

Astrology is a belief system that suggests a relationship between the positions and movements of celestial bodies—such as planets and stars—and events or characteristics in human life and the natural world. Practitioners, known as astrologers, interpret the influence of these celestial configurations on individual destinies and personality traits based on the time and place of a person’s birth, known as their natal chart or horoscope. Astrology is often categorized into various branches, such as natal astrology, which focuses on individual charts, and mundane astrology, which pertains to world events. Despite its historical significance and cultural impact, astrology is generally considered a pseudoscience by the scientific community, as it lacks empirical evidence and does not adhere to the scientific method.
