There is no scientific basis to support astrology’s ability to predict life events accurately. Astrology is based on the idea that the positions and movements of celestial bodies—such as planets and stars—can influence human behavior and future events. While it has roots in ancient traditions and remains popular in modern culture, scientific studies have consistently shown that its predictive accuracy is no better than chance.
Many people find personal meaning in astrological readings, often perceiving them as accurate due to confirmation bias—the tendency to focus on information that aligns with preexisting beliefs while ignoring contradictions. Horoscopes and birth charts are often written in broad, general terms that can apply to many situations, making them feel personally relevant.
Despite its widespread use, astrology is not supported by scientific evidence. Controlled experiments have found no reliable correlation between astrological predictions and actual life outcomes. As a result, it is classified as a pseudoscience rather than a legitimate predictive tool. While astrology can be an enjoyable form of self-reflection or entertainment, it lacks the empirical foundation needed to be considered an accurate predictor of life events.
