Is astrology based on truth?

Question

The three wise men in the bible saw a star, that signified the greatness of a new born, the intensity was such that they traveresed across borders to witness..and true to the fact there was a new born.If they were astrologers, then does life have some sort of inclination to the stars....

Answer 1

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.

Is Astrology Scientific?
The simple answer is yes—and no. Astrology, like medicine, is an art based on a science.

The natural world is not as chaotic as it seems on the surface. Science has always sought to discover the underlying order that governs the appearance and behaviour of phenomena, from sub-atomic particles to the movement of galaxies. Science also seeks an understanding of human behaviour through biology, psychology and economics, for example. Scientists set out to find "natural laws" that govern phenomena, then look for ways that the knowledge of these interacting laws (repeatable patterns of phenomena) can be applied for our benefit.
Observations, Measurement, Calculations
Scientific observations, measurements and calculations are used in astrology to generate the framework for meaningful, symbolic patterns. These patterns, scientifically categorised, 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 analytical 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, researching and categorising the effects of the more recently discovered planets such as Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, the influence of mid-points, asteroids, galactic centre and so on. It's an ongoing process.

Answer 2

I tend to believe the personality traits of each star but not on whats written in the newspapers. I think life does have some connection with the stars since without them solar systems cannot survive.

Answer 3

The stars that we see are just the light of a star that died thousands of years ago. They are not really up in the sky right now. Only the planets. You can see Venus in real time, but the stars are not really there.

Answer 4

Answer 5

What exactly is the question? Wisemen in ancient times meant astrologer; that's what they were called. Could you please simplify the question, 'cause I don't get it. Actually, they didn't see the star. They were told in advance to follow a certain star to lead them to the birth of the babe.

Answer 6
