science meets truth... article from eZine
Astrology is one of the oldest mystical divinations known to man, and it remains one of the most accurate and authentic of all. It is part science, part art and within it lays the secret to one's true purpose. It is humanity's most enduring psychological tool, defining personality and delineating the shifting cycles of individual lives.

Astrology is a pseudo-science interpreting the supposed effect of the heavenly bodies on human existence. In early history the two are closely linked. It is part of the Vedic literature and has been preserved and handed down in the guru-parampara, the chain of apostolic succession since time immemorial. Vedic astrology is the original form of astrology that existed thousands of years ago in what is now known as the Indian subcontinent.

Other people have a great believe that astrology is a belief system. The belief is that the positions of the sun, moon and planets against the starry background influences peoples' personalities and shapes their lives. While others believe that is not some silly old thing, a superstition or pseudo-science, but a real science of human experience. Its symbols leave room for the vagaries of human behavior, that which can never be reduced to simple and absolute formulae.

The topic of astrology is often controversial, with a great many followers and believers but also many skeptics. There is also a strong believe that it is an art that is based on the foretelling of a person's future or gaining information on a person's personality through examination of stars, the sun, the moon, planets, comets and other bodies associated with astronomy.

On the other hand astrology is magical thinking, which has given us creationism and most forms of alternative medicine. It's at odds with scientific reasoning and it puts the practitioner squarely in opposition to the tradition of the enlightenment. It is the basis for a total examination of our life on all levels, inner and outer, and is based on the former positions of stars (as they were 3,000 years ago in Babylonian times). And each year, the error in dating the zodiac signs grows greater.

A Look at Western Astrology

Western astrology tries to help a person through personality modifications based on modern psychology. It seems to have originated in Mesopotamia, and all of the cultures of ancient Iraq and Iran contributed to its creation. Among the earliest records of astrology are the cuneiform tablets from the library of King Ashurbanipal of Assyria (669-626B.C.E.). Western astrology is based on the 12 signs of the zodiac; Chinese astrology is based on a 60-year cycle and lunar calendar. It follows the cycles of the sun related to the seasons, and the Tibeto-Indian system follows the cycles of the sun related to the stars, and there is a small difference between these two. Over the centuries, a difference of almost a complete sign has accumulated.

Astrology is the study of cycles, for example the yearly cycle of the earth around the sun, the 28 day cycle of the moon around the earth, and the 24 hour cycle of the rotation. It is the art and science of the cycles of life. They begin at our first breath, and continue until our last. It maybe complex, but perhaps too complex for you to get your brain around and the can be best understood by learning how it began.

  • Conduct an experiment (Do some science).

    Get a copy of whatever horoscope source you use. Cut them out, and remove the zodiac signs from the horoscope. Number them on the back so you can match them back up later.

    Keeps the zodiac signs hidden and have a friend choose the most appropriate horoscope for them. Then match the numbers... Conduct multiple tests and keep a chart

    Astrology is bullshit, it's been proven wrong by real science. Sorry guys, believing it strongly doesn't make it so

  • I beg to differ. Seeing as the newspaper HOROSCOPES truly are total BULLSHITE. And nowhere in this vlog or in any of my vlogs do I support the zodiac horoscopes. This is the problem, daily horoscopes are the DISTORTION of real Astrology.

    Please stay tuned, 5th Ape. More vlogs on the subject you raised.

  • Do you have any idea how Astrology works? You ignorant idiot. We all have Aries and Taurus and the other signs, its the planets that play on the stage.

  • The planets ARE the most important factor.

    Zodiac Signs are the backdrop.

see all

  • You see kids, this is why you stay away from crack.

  • LOL What a moron. Try a dictionary to define Astronomy and quit using your own home made version in an effort to somehow legitimize your con game.

    Astrology is like Religion. It is a con game used to separate the fool from his money.

    I am giving this stupid video a thumbs down.

  • @cornsqueezins what's wrong with being stoned?

  • this video is distracting.

  • Nothing you said made any sense and your editing was horrible. You shoud stop using what ever drugs you are on immediately. Once the drugs are out of your system and your thinking clearly, you might be able to make a video that doesn't suck.

  • Are you stoned? waste of time

  • I think Uranus has more of an influence on Astrology, being the ruler of Aquarius. We can see that Science is becoming stronger during the age of Aquarius which Uranus rules. Besides, look at the symbol for Uranus and the birds eye view of Star Trek.... also the guy who made Star Trek is gay, another influence of Uranus.

  • According to "spiritual" or "esoteric astrology", neither pluto or neptune is a planet. Nepture only has influence over astrologers, they say.

    My research also finds that Uranus has the influence on Astrologers.

    more research is pending.

  • I'm not a Taurus....
