Astrology is perhaps the oldest form of scientific study. It is ironic that so many people try to debunk astrology, when really that is impossible. How can you deny that the study of the stars and the motion of the planets take place? The field of astrology both in practice as well as academic study is growing by leaps and bounds. The Kepler College has been up and operating since 2000 offering fully government accredited Bachelors and Masters Degrees in astrology and related fields.
How does astrology work? Once the initial calculations have been made for a birth chart, the complexity of patterns and combinations are examined. No two horoscopes are alike, nor are any two people. Horoscope columns generalize interpretations to a Sun sign and in turn warp what astrology really can accomplish. Unfortunately general horoscope columns add a lot of weight to astrology's reputation. It is for this reason many still believe astrology is a lot of generalized prophecy and humorous anecdotes as accurate as a fortune cookie, and about as useful. I have always interjected the planets and their positions into my own horoscope writing in the hopes of educating and intriguing the reader into learning more about real astrology.
