Can anyone tell me specific details on Astrology, scientifically based on each month and that month's weather effects. I believe Astrology has to do with gravitational pull as well? Anyway, based on months and geography, explain please. Thanks

well, real scientific (statistical ) study on astrology shows no such thing.
physical forces like gravity dont cause only general effects, not specific effects.

There was an interesting story told by a scientist who was working his way through college by reading palms.
After reading palms for a few months he began to get customers who came back time and again and swore that everything he had told them came true. He was no shyster - he had just been following all the laid-down rules of palmistry - and he began to become nervous about this. Could it be true that he was seeing the future? Could the science he was studying have been wrong about that?
He decided to take all his concerns to a counselor. The counselor heard his story and then gave him a very sage piece of advice: go back and read palms, but instead of giving 'accurate' readings, instead tell the people the exact opposite of what was supposed to happen. If palmistry was accurate, the results should have been calamitous.
But they were not. The same number of people swore by his accuracy as the months wore on, and the would-be scientist was much relieved. It wasn't the READINGS that were accurate, it was just a combination of other (now well-known principles).
People who WANT to see something DO. Whether it's there or not. And from any large enough statistical sampling, any result can come to pass. UNLIKELY becomes CERTAIN, if you only try enough.

A long time ago, Astrology was considered an exploratory science, but that ended about the middle of the 17th century. It is now thoroughly understood that there is no scientific basis to astrology. Astronomy is an exact science based on observation and evidence. Astrology is pseudo-science, superstition, and garbage. Choose this day whether you will be dedicated to reality, and therefore sane, or will prefer superstition, and therefore be crazy. It's up to you, but I can tell you now, reality is more fun in the long run.

Astrology is just fortune telling based on the position of the planets, Sun and Moon. It has no more physical basis than palm reading or tea leaves.
