Updated: Jun 8, 2020
What is astrology?
Astrology is the study of the movements and relative positions of planets and other celestial bodies which can be depicted as having an influence on human beings and the natural world It is also depicted as a pseudoscience which claims to divine information about the affairs and life events by studying and evaluating the movements and relative position of celestial bodies in the universe.
It can also be called the study of different patterns and relationships of different planets that are in motion, our birth chart, synastry, and others, the makeup of different elements like water, air, fire, etc and by using that knowledge as an important knowledge to find meanings to life.
Who was the father of astrology?
Alan Leo was the father of astrology.
Is astrology a science?
Well, there is no straight answer to this question. It depends upon the belief of people who will follow astrology or not. Astrology has been rejected by science as there was no explanation about the power of the universe.
In times of my childhood, there was a cartoon show which used to come to our television called HE-MAN. We as a teenager used to love this show as ultimately after a long struggle of good against evil forces, the good always wins. What I mean to say is that we humans are very vulnerable towards religious beliefs, and we always want our good to win against evil, therefore astrology plays an important role in claiming those beliefs. Still, we as humans don't have enough shreds of evidence to prove that astrology is an exact science and there is no proposed mechanism of action by which we can say that the position and motion of stars and planets could affect people and events of earth and the universe itself.
Can astrology be trusted?
Yes, you can trust astrology and palmistry also. In India we Jyotish Shastra is widely followed all over and is called universal. It is one of the oldest and precious arts of Indian culture and tradition.
