What is astrology, how many different types exist and how accurate or scientific can it(they) be?

Answer 1

WHAT IS ASTROLOGY?

Astrology is a long-established method of exploring ourselves, our relationships and our place within the world. It works by taking a look at the significant environmental influences operating in a particular place at a given time - as expressed through the horoscope in the symbolic relationships of the heavenly bodies. Astrology, the science of the stars, can give us insight into all manner of situations, from the personal to the political and from the most intimate to the most mundane. Astrology is based strongly on probabilities. Generations of astrologers have studied the planetary cycles, drawn conclusions from repetitive occurrences and used this knowledge for their interpretations. Therefore, anybody that wants to seriously deal with the subject of astrology will have to start with the individual natal birth chart based on the date of birth, the place of birth and the birth time. Astrology is not so much a form of fortune telling, but rather a tool to self-discovery.

IS ASTROLOGY SCINTIFIC?

The simple answer is yes - and no. Astrology, like medicine, is an art based on a science. Scientific observations, measurements and calculations are used in astrology to generate the framework for symbolic patterns. These patterns reveal much about the way our world is constructed; they enable us to analyse, explain and predict social, political, emotional and other important characteristics of life on earth. A vast database of analystical techniques and interpretative commentary has been accumulated over the centuries, through the dedicated observations and practical applications of astrological practitioners. Modern astrologers have also made impressive contributions. The art of astrology lies at one level in the construction of accurate profiles of personality and relationship, through the skilled interpretation of symbolic patterns, and in mapping the general tendencies that present themselves over the course of our lives. Astrologers use scientific facts in the mapping of human consciousness and as keys to the understanding of experience. This is an interpretative process, which does not depend on accepting particular theories about how planets can affect us, or on whether they are a sort of synchronous clock ticking along with psychological and social factors on earth, or on some other causal process. The strength of astrology comes from the accumulated knowledge of centuries of research and observation. Combined with accurate mathematical and scientific data, today's astrologers can use this established knowledge in the generation of valuable psychological, economic, or predictive profiles.

I only really consider two things trolling. 1- Saying something inflammatory, not to make a point, but just to get a reaction. 2- Pretending to be the other side to make them look bad. Most of what goes on here is 2. Let's face it, I say inflammatory things all the time. But I am making a point.
