Essay on Astrology and Horoscopes

Once downstairs they all got settled in and Aries started up again, “Okay back to the whole Saturn thing, I think that its very important for us to discuss-” She was cut off by Pisces, “ITS SHELBY DAWSON!!” Aries looked over at the TV, “Hey Aries, you might want to check this out” Libra said hiring the TV. “In latest news there was a meteor shower last night, but this was not an ordinary meteor shower because the things falling from the sky were not meteors, but people, we’ll give you more on this when we come back.”. “You don’t think that they’re constellations, do you?” Virgo said worried. “Man I hope not, we already are so busy with Saturn’s attacks and all the other planets, the last thing we need is something else to worry about.” Aquarius

The Virgo may find it difficult to convey their meaning to others. To avoid misunderstandings it is best to handle important matters in person.

This, compared to the belief about the zodiac signs, is a significant change during the

Astrology is defined as the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world. During the Elizabethan era astrology, was used as an influence for day to day affairs. The most known figures of the Elizabethan era, Queen Elizabeth herself and Shakespeare, used astrology. Astrology was an influence on Shakespeare’s plays and Queen Elizabeth’s decisions in daily life. Astrology not only influenced its most prominent figures but the northern part of Europe as a whole. The common person in Europe had a belief in astrology that helped influenced their daily life. Astrology was a popular belief everywhere in Europe. During the Elizabethan age, astrology influenced

In astrology, Aries is considered a new beginning and, in turn, begins John Gardner’s novel (Heindel 163). This chapter focuses on the cyclical nature of astrology. According to Grendel, this is the twelfth year of his “idiotic war” (Gardner 5). He notes that this year will, more than likely, be just like all those

Despite the grueling work of the police, all the potential suspects have been unsuccessfully convicted. Around 20 letters and cards sent by the Zodiac are the only real trace the Zodiac left of himself. There is no physical evidence that was found at the scene of the crimes,“At least eight descriptions of the Zodiac are out there but those most common were that of a caucasian male, around thirty years old, stocky build, and short reddish brown hair, Zodiac was typically described in dark clothes, military style boots, and glasses. There are composites of the Zodiac but no prime suspects were identified based on the physical description of the killer” (Kelleher,

So the numbers we got was not different from what we expected. Since we accepted hypothesis there were no errors in the lab that affected results. Which proves our point that horoscopes cannot predict anyone’s life. Also it was noticed that some people got higher correct answers but that does not say that they are psychic. Nick Allum tested an experiment which was to study Europeans believing in Astrology. He had three basic hypothesis which were they don’t have enough education in science to differentiate pseudoscience to science, confused about astrology, and people with authoritarian values believe in astrology. He tested it and it came out that “all three of his hypotheses are most likely true” (Allum, 2011, p. 361-363). This experiment tells us that horoscopes aren’t really believable. There weren’t errors with our data but one little error would be if a group didn’t get what the journal entry was saying they would have just guessed a later cause they were really annoyed by it. This error wouldn’t do major damage to our data but it might have done

Astrology should be taken more seriously. There are five key reasons that outline the truth of astrology. First, astrology has been used for over six thousand years and was historically considered to be more accurate than medical professionals. Several scientific studies have been conducted to support astrological findings. Several yearly predictions that were made astrologically have been known to come true with a high success rate. Additionally, astrologers use a twelve-sign system to analyze individual personality traits, one study on these predictions held a 96% accuracy rate. Lastly, some psychologists today have taken to using astrology as a diagnosis tool and to treat their clients. These clients responded positively to their treatment.

(I can’t remember the website now but) A website said that if you believe in astrology wholeheartedly that is 90%-100% true for you. If you believe on the down low, just dabble here and there, it is most likely 40%-60% true for you. Finally, if you don’t believe at all it would only be 0%-20% true for you. In some aspects it seems totally fake. The chance of everyone born in the same month as you having similar traits to you is about as likely as evolution, it can’t happen. But if you think about it, I would say at least half of those people wouldn’t believe in astrology at all and maybe 20-ish% would just believe a little. Though that may be the case, I would still say it is highly unlikely. Most of the tools used in “reading your horoscope” I believe are “hocus pocus” (no pun intended… well maybe a little…). Things like Tarot Cards, dowsing rods and runes may help you to “feel the energy” but really all they’re doing is putting on a show. Astrology is definitely not irreducibly complex, and I could probably rip this apart piece by piece and dive head first into the root of all the stars. [For the sake of my sleep schedule I will save that for my final copy xD] I will add something though, the horoscopes you see in the paper are definitely not something you should believe, and they are most likely not done by someone who knows what they’re doing.

When I was little, I really didn’t know what astrology was or what your zodiac sign was. When I was growing up, I finally figured out what it all meant and how it worked. From that point on I was instantly clicked. I loved reading my horoscope and when ever I did read it, nine out of ten times it would be right, and that’s why I loved reading my horoscope. It was just something I did every morning, and then I would go throughout my day. Then at night when I would be back on the computer, i would reread them, and realize that most of the time those things did happen, or I did feel that type of emotion.

Astronomy and astrology are very similar, yet different. Astronomy is the study of the universe and what's inside of it, as well as other universes. Astrology is the study of how the actions and movements of things in our universe affect what happens on earth, and people. Although they both deal with the universe and one was founded by the other, they also have many things that set them apart from one another. This essay will talk about the differences and similarities of astronomy and astrology and how each is used.
