Nowadays there are a lot of astrological forecasts in newspapers, magazines, on news sites, in morning TV programs. Astrologers are invited as experts on human relationships, asking them to predict political events. Does astrology have a scientific basis, is it a science?

Answer

The word "astrology" consists of two parts - astro (star) and logos (teaching). The ending "logos" is used in the names of many sciences, scientific directions and practices based on science: biology, ecology, psychology, physiology, geology, gerontology, cynology, radiology, etc. - this misleads many people who believe that predicting the fate of a person from the stars also has a scientific basis.

Indeed, astrological forecasts use knowledge of mathematics, celestial mechanics (of course, the astrologers themselves do not make these calculations, but take ready-made results), but the very transition from the exact (based on science) determination of the apparent position of celestial bodies to predicting the fate of a person occurs outside of some or science and the scientific method in general.

Scientific knowledge differs from any other (artistic, sensual, dogmatic, esoteric, occult) in explanatory and evidence. Any scientific statement is deduced from facts according to the laws of logic and has predictive power (for example, you can calculate hundreds of years ahead when and in what place on the earth's surface a solar eclipse will be visible, or what will happen if you mix one substance with another in one or another proportion , in certain conditions, etc.). Astrological statements that a person born under such and such a sign will have such and such qualities of character and that such or such or such a person is waiting for him, are taken from nowhere - under them there are no statistical studies, no explanation of the mechanism of the influence of the arrangement of stars and planets on fate human.

The lack of a scientific method in astrology clearly suggests that astrology is not a science.

None of the many scientific studies to test the predictions of astrologers have yielded positive results. All predictions turned out to be statistically in the region of random distribution, no different from horoscopes compiled at random.

A comparison was made of the fate of the so-called temporary sx twins, that is, people born at the same time (with a difference of no more than a few minutes), which also did not confirm the accuracy of the astrological axiom about the influence of the moment of birth on a person's character and fate.

Why does astrology remain popular? This is explained, firstly, by the desire of people to know their future, to receive easy answers and advice, to relieve themselves of at least some of the responsibility for their lives, and secondly, by the Barnum effect, which consists in the fact that people are extremely high and uncritical refer to any descriptions of their personality, which are supposedly created individually for them; in general, vague formulations, a person is inclined to see himself.

Astronomer Johannes Kepler compiled horoscopes for influential and wealthy people (this fact of his biography is used by astrologers to give astrology a form of science: the great scientist was engaged in astrology), but this is what Kepler himself wrote about astrology: “Of course, this astrology is a stupid daughter; but, my God, where would her mother, the highly wise astronomy, have gone if she had not had a silly daughter. After all, the world is still much more stupid and so stupid that for the benefit of her wise old mother, a stupid daughter must talk and lie. And the salaries of mathematicians are so insignificant that the mother would probably starve if her daughter did not earn anything. "

Astrology is a science

Even a superficial acquaintance
with astrology broadens horizons
and makes people more merciful
to each other.

We see how recently, interest in the most ancient science - astrology, has sharply increased. Astrology at all times occupied one of the most honorable places in science.

Astronomy and astrology were considered sisters until the 17th century. And in those days, everyone who was engaged in astronomy, at the same time possessed astrological knowledge. For example, Claudius Ptolemy, Nicolaus Copernicus, Johannes Kepler, Tycho de Brahe and many other astronomers, who were also famous astrologers.

And at present, a person is looking for answers in science to all the questions that concern him, and with its help he tries to solve them. And this is completely natural, since it is science that very strictly distinguishes between the known and the proposed, the proposed and the unknown. In search of the truth, scientists from many countries of the world are returning more and more to the study of the ancient science of astrology, to research work and the analysis of its foundations and laws. More and more scientists are entering into discussions about the benefits of astrology as a science.

From time immemorial, man has sought to learn not only the world around him, the secrets of nature and the secrets of the universe, but also his role in this world, his destiny, his future.

Dr. Ellsworth Huntingston, a historian from Yale University, has already proven in open public disputes that there is a definite connection between the movements of the planets in the sky and numerous facts - consequences on earth.

Dr. Brian Tuckerman, while working at the Institute for New Research in Princeton, New Jersey, analyzed a number of early calculations of the Babylonian priest-astrologers, correlating them with extreme accuracy with the data of facts confirmed by history. In this regard, Glen T. Seaborg, Chairman of the US Atomic Energy Commission, noted that the results of Dr. Tuckerman's research can be used, in particular, to study the analysis and forecasting of modern economic cycles.

In the course of research, scientists have established coincidences between world events and mathematically calculated cycles of celestial bodies.

The same coincidences were found between the general course of life of each person and the position of the planets at his birth, and they could be established in advance by mathematical means. From a mathematical point of view, astrology is an exact science, which means that the actual success of reading a horoscope map entirely depends on the correct calculation, calculation and preparation of its technical documentation, as well as the ability and ability to more correctly and correctly evaluate and analyze all indicators reflected in the horoscope map ...

In the mid-1960s, Dr. Harlan T. Stetson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said at the Electrical Society Congress in New York: “If the relationship between the influence of cosmic factors and the Earth is not a coincidence, their research could start new sciences that can be considered modern version of medieval astrology. With their help it will be possible to predict the development of the economic cycle and the approach of earthquakes, and many other phenomena on Earth. "

At the present time, the connection between cosmic rhythms and the weather on Earth, earthquakes and floods, droughts and crop failures, diseases and epidemics, political and economic events has found a scientific basis.

It is no longer a secret that the outer space of the Universe is filled with a variety of fields: electric, magnetic and others, created as a result of radiation from all cosmic bodies of the Universe, planets, stars, constellations and galaxies. Disturbances on the Sun, especially electromagnetic and corpuscular radiation, create the known magnetic storms and other phenomena, both in the atmosphere and in the biosphere of the Earth. And they immediately cause an increase in the number of accidents and disasters in transport, accidents at work, deaths in hospitals; increase the explosiveness in conflict situations, in groups of society. During such periods of time, chronic diseases become aggravated, functional disorders of the neuropsychic and cardiovascular systems increase, the number of myocardial infarctions, cerebral strokes increases, blood counts change not only in patients, but also in completely healthy people.

The moon has the most direct and serious effect on water exchange not only in the Earth's atmosphere, significantly affecting climatic conditions in general and on the weather in particular, as well as on the organisms of flora and fauna.

The totality of all cosmic influences at the moment of a person's birth: heredity and environment; climatic conditions and many other factors create certain preconditions for the formation of a person's constitution, temperament and character, talents and abilities; determines the weaknesses of his body and the predisposition to certain diseases, to various kinds of distinctive features, properties, qualities, etc. It is the combination of these influences that determines the fate of each individual, each state.

Scientific astrology provides an opportunity not only to see an objective picture of the world in any direction, but also to anticipate and predict a variety of incidents and events in the life and fate of a person or a state.

The board of directors of large foreign firms, trusts, concerns have the position of an astrologer, of course, a graduate. He participates in all meetings, gives advice, recommendations and receives a fee corresponding to his work.

Astrologers-scientists now work on a par with scientists of other sciences. Their laboratories are their study rooms. By "chemicals" and "scientific apparatus" - the tables of Ephemeris, and "Houses". Archive premises of various ministries and departments, statistical offices become "libraries". And since scientific work is carried out, it means that scientific works appear, dissertations are defended, academic degrees and official titles are awarded.

At one time in Soviet encyclopedias "astrology" was described as a bourgeois pseudoscience. And the United States' New International Encyclopedia says that "the predictions of the most experienced astrologers are by no means random guesswork, as is often thought; they are based on solid definitions and attitudes obtained through observation of phenomena, and on solid rules of interpretation."

Any chain of events can be interrupted or destroyed by the free will of a person. Warning information gives a person the right to choose, which can lead to both salvation and death. For example, John F. Kennedy was warned of the possibility of an accident during his next trip. But he neglected this prediction, and the outcome of this trip is well known to all of us.

In almost every newspaper today we can see an astrological forecast on any topic. A lot of all kinds of astrological forecasts are published in calendars for the year according to the signs of the zodiac. We see astrologers on TV screens too.

But, unfortunately, for the most part in the press we see the so-called "fair" astrology, which is used only as an entertainment program for the public, and only occasionally do we see competent speeches of astrologers, whose conclusions are based on scientific astrology.

On the one hand, I am glad that scientific astrology is beginning to attract the attention of pundits all over the world, but on the other hand, it is very alarming that many charlatans and adventurers, the so-called businessmen from astrology, are beginning to take an interest in astrology. It was from them that "astrological forecasts" and the like went for a walk, and we can find all this in almost every newspaper. There are a lot of all kinds of ads about the provision of services by astrologers. And only a few of them work competently and conscientiously with the client.

It hurts to hear when a client says that he was with an astrologer and he told him that the client has a great future and he will not have any problems. And after 2 weeks the client's son dies in a car accident, and his wife becomes disabled. If this client was dealing with a competent, experienced astrologer, then he would certainly be warned about possible life-threatening situations and, therefore, the client could take appropriate measures to avoid them as much as possible.

A serious astrologer, our contemporary, can be identified by the fact that he, unlike numerous amateurs, charlatans and businessmen from astrology, will not give boundless promises in the matter of clarifying the future. Most astrological forecasts are the work of highly skilled craftsmanship, an art that is acquired only by years of experience in regular, systematic practical training and a huge base of astrological knowledge. That is why, the issue of training specialists for astrologers of all levels on a state basis is becoming more acute: from astrologer to bachelor's and master's in astrology.

It is pleasant to note that for the first time in Ukraine in the classifier of the profession DK 003-95 of the State Standard of Ukraine, 1995, in the section of professions of workers and employees, the profession "astrologer" with the code KP 5151. This is the level of an astrologer - a consultant in astropsychology. But it was Ukraine (from the post-Soviet countries) that was the first to take a step towards the recognition of astrology as a profession necessary for the state. And we believe that the second step will be taken: the approval of the qualification characteristics of the astrologer for training this profession, as well as the creation by the state of conditions for obtaining astrological education, conducting astrological scientific developments in the field of astrology, which will allow protecting academic degrees.

Today we know that scientific astrology encompasses and investigates, checks, analyzes and coordinates not only the influences of our main luminary - the Sun, but also all known planets of our solar system, as well as the entire system of cosmic influences on our planet. And for this purpose, whole scientific complexes are being created, archives of various statistical offices are used, the latest computer technology is used.

And at the same time, today, as in the previous millennia, the focus of scientific astrology is on the person who occupies the main place on Earth, and the Earth on which he lives and works, and loves and continues his human race. It is for this reason that, until now, astrology studies all cosmic influences on Earth only from a geocentric point of view. The Earth is put, as it were, in the center of the sight and the hit of all kinds of cosmic radiation and influences, both from the Sun and from other planets and stars.

Today we are witnessing that the ancient astrology in its new mantle of the scientist of the twentieth century came to life and strengthened. Another period of heyday of scientific astrology has begun and it, with great confidence, continues to grow and improve, bringing new discoveries and evidence, and new views and opinions, and new patterns of cosmic influences on the Earth and its inhabitants.

In 1961, at a conference at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology devoted to the problems of magnetism of cosmic bodies and the Earth, Professor of New York University Robert O. Becker made a report on the discovery of the electromagnetic field in the human body. He proved that the human body consists of a whole electronic system and, most surprisingly, the human electromagnetic field acts in exact accordance with the fluctuations of the Earth's electromagnetic field, and the Earth - in accordance with the influence of cosmic factors on it.

Astrologer Wolfgang Angermeier, known as the father of "Economic Astrology", gave a theoretical justification for the fact that the situation in the world market is influenced by transit planets in relation to the planets in the horoscope of an enterprise, corporation, trust, city, state, and all this can be predicted and predicted already for many years and even decades to come. In 1978 he set up his own venture to use these techniques and, despite rather high prices, he has a huge clientele. His popularity especially increased after the prediction of the stock market crash of 1987 and the economic crisis in the fall of 1989.

In 1996, at the medical congress of psychiatrists and psychoneurologists of Europe, which was held in Germany, the report of the rector of the St. Petersburg Astrological Academy, S.V. Shestopalov, was accepted with great interest. "Epilepsy and predisposition to it according to the horoscope." The report aroused great interest among physicians. Then they were given reports in Italy, Romania-. His predictive techniques have received worldwide recognition, and the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1991 in the book "Astrology of the XX century", characterizing the authors of the articles of this book, writes: "Sergei Vasilievich Shestopalov has been seriously engaged in astrology for about 20 years - he has an approach to astrology as a exact science ".

He, together with his students, now bachelors and masters of the Academy, for 14 years, together with doctors, carried out a huge research work:

    on epilepsy at the neuropsychiatric department of the Bekhterev Institute in St. Petersburg,

    on heart attacks in the Simferopol Cardiology Center of Crimea,

    on strokes at the Neurosurgical Institute of St. Petersburg,

    on infertility with the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology of St. Petersburg,

    for tuberculosis patients with the Saratov Tuberculosis Dispensary

    and for other diseases with many medical institutions.

In 1998, S.V. Shestopalov personally. the basic formula of drug addiction was derived. He owns the authorship of formulas for diseases, formulas for mental illness. The derivation of disease formulas has made an invaluable contribution to medical astrology. These methods allow, according to a precisely calculated horoscope of a person, to determine his predisposition to diseases, to calculate the time of onset of the disease, and to be able to timely apply preventive measures to prevent the disease.

Moreover, medical astrologers, using astrology, have an additional opportunity to more objectively, taking into account the client's astrological data and medical research, to determine the diagnosis of diseases and this increases the accuracy of medical diagnoses.

S.V. Shestopalov derived the formula for such a serious and today incurable disease as leukemia. And when one of the doctors of hematologists was asked to take under the supervision of a child who has a formula for this disease in his birth horoscope, in response it was stated that it was useless because the disease is incurable.

We will not judge the doctor, and remind him of the Hippocratic oath. The problem is not only that he did not take astrological data seriously, although he constantly uses the services of an astrologer, and more than once convinced himself of the truth of the forecasts given to him. The problem is that, as a doctor, he is not looking for ways to improve himself. The father of medicine, Hippocrates, as we know, was the most skillful astrologer of his time. He said: "No doctor can successfully use medical science if he is not familiar with astrology." Since astrology was rejected in Soviet times, in this part the statements of Hippocrates were forgotten, which is a pity. We believe that the time will come, and this statement of Hippocrates will sound in the "Hippocratic Oath" known to all doctors and will be carried out in full.

In our practice, we have met cases when doctors treated women for infertility, which they had never suffered from. When analyzing the horoscope, it was found that one of them suffers from kidney disease, and this was confirmed by further examination. All women could have children, but the problem was that it was in Crimea that pregnancy was either impossible for them, or the period of its occurrence was at a later age. All of them were asked to choose possible temporary places of residence, and the periods of conception are calculated for these places. Today we have happy mothers who conceived children in places calculated by an astrologer, and pregnancy calmly passed through their main places of residence in Crimea.

And these are just a few examples from the practice of professional astrologers practicing in Simferopol. We have a lot of gratitude and from clients for whom a favorable time for the operation was calculated, indications of the disease were given, which were confirmed by an appropriate medical examination.

In no case do we want to discredit doctors. No one is immune from mistakes. On the contrary, we strive to unite our knowledge for the benefit of both our people and people of the whole world.

Scientific astrology has many specific directions:

Natal astrology - is associated with the birth of a being on the physical plane and studies everything that is associated with a person.

Mundane (World) or Judial astrology - is associated with predictions of events that will occur in the country, in the state.

Medical astrology deals with the diagnosis, treatment, prevention of both somatic and mental illnesses.

Meteorological astrology - is engaged in weather forecasting, its founder is the German scientist Wilheim Leibniz.

Horary astrology - shows the events and conditions that are indicated by the sky map at the moment when the astrologer is presented with a question that has special meaning for the client, and when he clearly defined the event, thought, idea. And at the same time, the client wants to know what the result of this enterprise or event will be.

Karmic astrology - horoscope of reasons in relation to a person's birth chart. It reveals the reasons for the occurrence of certain problems in a person: debts, diseases ..., and also determines the purpose of a person, his mission.

Astrology of professions - determination of a person's abilities and talents and the possibilities of their implementation.

Business Astrology - this is the astrology of the case. Business astrology helps to determine: what to do for a person, what type of business to choose, whether there is an ability for independent business.

Relationship astrology - this is an astropsychology that reveals the external, behavioral psychology of a person, explains the essence of the relationship between partners in marriage, work (compatibility).

Astrological forecasting of events is definitely the goal of any astrologer - a practitioner. And his main task is to contribute to the conscious orientation of his client: to prepare him to rationally and consciously experience all possible approaching adversity, be it an accident or illness, or something else, and also to help him strive to meet all favorable and good, creating the most favorable conditions for this.

The path taken by the astrologer - the practitioner and along which he moves forward in search of life truths - is endless, just as the outer space itself is endless.

The profession of an astrologer is very responsible - he is an expert, consultant, adviser, in whose hands is the fate of his ward. Certainly, scientific astrology now has a nobler mission than ever before in human history. If in ancient times astrologers served only kings, pharaohs, kings and members of their families, today they also serve the common people, helping them with advice in all their daily problems and needs.

I really want this science to serve only for the benefit of our people, our state in our country.

Is astrology a science? Interest in astrology arose in ancient times and does not subside to this day. This is explained by the fact that people at all times wanted to know their fate and their destiny. However, many argue that astrology cannot be trusted, since the data obtained from the location and movement of the stars is not scientific. Is it really? At the moment, this question torments not only ordinary people, but also scientists. Professors at Yale University have been studying astrology for a long time and are trying to get to the bottom of the truth: can the fateful moments in the life of a particular person and even society as a whole be predicted by the stars? Scientists have conducted studies, as a result of which it turned out that the calculations of the ancient astrologers completely coincide with all the events that happened. Researchers have come to the conclusion that astrology still has the right to be called an exact science. Back in the middle of the 20th century, scientists tried to put astrology on a par with other sciences such as biology, mathematics and others. This issue was decided at the congress of scientific communities in New York. Then scientists put forward the theory that with the help of accurate calculations of the movement of celestial bodies, it is possible to predict economic fluctuations around the world. However, this point of view was perceived negatively by many scientists. Now it has become perfectly clear to everyone that everything on our planet is subject to the Universe: the sun creates electromagnetic fields that can negatively affect both human health and the state of the Earth. Radiation, radiation and many other "gifts" from the Universe can give rise to catastrophes, earthquakes and hurricanes. The moon, just like the sun, influences many processes taking place on our planet. Thus, it has been scientifically proven that celestial bodies directly affect our globe. So why can't the Universe affect a person as well? The star under which a child was born can also determine his characteristics, development and abilities. An interesting fact: many directors of Western companies specifically hire their own astrologer in order to be more successful in all business. He participates in all working meetings, helps to solve cases, suggests at what point the stars will be supportive of any business. This already suggests that astrology is recognized as a science, albeit unofficially. Today this science has appeared on the pages of newspapers, glossy magazines and the Internet. Literally in all media you can find your horoscope for the day. However, these replicated predictions are not always accurate, as in most cases they are written for the entertainment of the readers. Nevertheless, astrology is successfully developing, giving rise to new trends: natal astrology, astrology of medicine, karmic astrology and many other areas.

Which planet is responsible for divination?

There is a planet that is responsible for divination practices - this is Neptune. The planet responsible for astrology is Uranus. Fortune telling and astrology are under the jurisdiction of different planets.

Where should palmistry be attributed?

Even palmistry (reading fate along the lines on the hand), which the average person will most likely attribute to fortune-telling, is closer to astrology than traditional fortune-telling, because in the case of astrology, and in the case of palmistry, there is reliance on physical things.

In palmistry, this is a hand and lines on it.

Their location is unique in each case. If this did not really matter, then nature would not need to apply them on each hand in different ways. This means that it contains unique information.

What carries information in astrology?

Astrology also relies on physical things - on the planets, including the Earth, on the stars - these are physical bodies. The influence of planets on people is determined by the radiation of their energy.

The image is the basis of fortune-telling

Fortune-telling relies mainly on cards, let it be Tarot cards, or on other carriers of information enclosed in images. And it is these images that need to be deciphered.

They are also unique and unique for each person.

If we say the word "table", then, despite the fact that all people will have the same idea of \u200b\u200bthis object according to its function, the image of a table will appear in everyone's head.

To interpret the image in relation to oneself still all right, but to interpret the image in relation to other people, it seems to me, is a special art. Therefore, fortune-telling performed by an amateur can give some blurring in the meanings of images.

Astrology studies energetic influence

Again, astrology is based on specific physical things.

Planets and stars affect purely energetically everything on Earth, including people. Energy cannot be denied, this physical concept has already firmly entered the life of people.

We sometimes say about our own kind:

"What an energetic person."

It's not in the sense of thin, fat, tall or short. This characteristic does not apply to external parameters. We are talking about the energy that this person radiates.

So are the planets.

They have physical parameters: mass, density, speed, and so on. This is what astronomy does.

Even the power of radiation from stars has been studied by physicists and expressed in certain units. But astrology deals with the energetic influence of the planets on everything that exists on Earth.

Not all planets in astrology give energy, some take away

The energy of some planets gives us vigor, optimism, the energy of others - faith, the energy of others - militancy and courage, and the radiation of some planets, such as the Moon, as if it does not give, but even takes away our energy.

As a rule, the Moon provokes us to throw out our emotions, at least some, even negative - it's even easier, because it's easier to cause them. The planet "ate" them, fed on them - this is how the Moon works.

So think about what she specifically provokes you if she is in your horoscope in a certain sign.

If in the fire sign of the Zodiac - she definitely needs you to move actively - movement for the sake of movement, and not to achieve a goal or not for creativity. You will get tired of this, this running around, but you will not achieve satisfaction, although you have spent energy.

In the water sign of the Zodiac, there will be a constant provocation for the manifestation of emotions, emotions for the sake of emotions, and not in order to cheer someone up.

In the earth signs of the Zodiac - constant counting / calculation and analysis / planning, sometimes without good for the cause. For example, a person walks down the street and constantly counts, now the floors of houses, now passing cars.

In the air signs of the Zodiac, a constant search for information, just a search, the information itself may not matter. In any of these options, a person spends his strength, energy, receiving nothing in return.

That is, you see how much information about a person can be obtained from knowledge of the characteristics of the impact on a person of such physical bodies as planets.

Energy information field of the Earth

Based on the responsibility of Neptune for fortune-telling, and Uranus for astrology, it is important to understand how they perform these roles.

Uranus is responsible for the contactless system of acquiring knowledge. As in esoteric books it was beautifully written about it - with the help of the presence of a "spatial wire".

In fact, all of us, all of humanity, function in the energy-informational field of the Earth, and any person is able to receive information directly from any point in space, since our space is built holographically, and any part of it contains knowledge about everything. Not only esotericists, but also physicists talk about this.

Caution - connection with spirits!

And Neptune and divination to obtain information imply contact with the subtle world, contact with forces, spirits.

And who knows who will make contact there, a high spirit or a low, insidious one, no one knows for sure, which means that the information can be deceiving. Neptune, by its nature, is responsible for deception, self-deception and, by the way, gives dependence, a dependent unfree position.

Therefore, turning to unknown forces is fraught. At the very least, you can be deceived, as at the most you can become dependent on them.

Developing the function of Neptune, you need to follow the commandment: worship God alone and serve him alone, do not create an idol for yourself, so as not to become dependent on some intermediate forces.

In general, I am not against fortune-telling, there are exceptional masters of their craft, but a beginner in fortune-telling needs to know where what comes from.

It is considered to be the fundamental principle of astrology Compliance principle (anology), formulated in the Emerald Tablet by Hermes Trismegistus: “What is below is similar to what is above. And what is above is similar to what is below, in order to perform the miracles of one thing. " According to Kybalion, "this principle contains the truth that there is always a correspondence between laws and phenomena in different planes of Being and Life." And even despite the fact that “there are planes above our Knowledge, but if we apply the Principle of Correspondence to them, then we will be able to understand a lot that would otherwise be incomprehensible to us”, since “this principle, being universally applicable in various planes of matter The Universe, Mental and Spiritual, is the Universal Law. "

The second principle of astrology, partly derived from the previous one, is Principle of Cause and Effect (see Kybalion), according to which “Each effect has its cause. Everything is done in accordance with the law. Chance is nothing but the name of a law that is not recognized. There are many planes of causality ”, and which explains that there are several levels of causality, since there are several planes of being connected by the Principle of Correspondence. The beginning of a process on one of the planes means the beginning of similar processes on other planes.

The third principle of astrology, not formulated separately, but constantly applied, arising from the Principle of Cause and Effect, is “ The principle of beginning", According to which the conditions at the beginning of any process determine the further course and development of this process. In the fate of a person, the moment of birth is taken as such a starting point, in the fate of an organization - the moment of its registration, etc., and the location of celestial bodies acts as the initial conditions. At the same time, some modern astrologers, on the basis of various argumentation, reject the classical views, according to which the moment of birth is taken as the starting point of human destiny. Instead, they offer to count the fate of a person from the moment of his conception and develop the direction of conception astrology by analogy with natal astrology (see below).

The ancient astrologers divided the universe into a divine, timeless part, to which they attributed the luminaries as the rulers of time, and the world of changeable phenomena, located under the lower of the spheres - the sphere of the Moon. The sublunary world, according to the ancients, is subject to time itself, that is, the cyclical movements of the luminaries. The astrology of the ancients was based on the natural philosophy of Aristotle, as well as the views of Plato. All phenomena of the sublunary, temporary world, according to the ancients, have a moment of birth, a moment of culmination and a moment of sunset and inevitable death. All phenomena of the sublunary world are based on the cohesion of the primary states of matter or elements. The rotation of the luminaries cause the disintegration and new cohesion of these elements, thereby manifesting the disintegration of old and the birth of new forms. Since the motion of the planets is rigorous in nature, the phenomena they cause can also be predictable. That is why the astrology of the ancients was so accurate in its predictions and fatalistic in its philosophy. (From Wikipedia - the free encyclopedia)

Is Astrology a Science?Talking about this causes a rather heated debate, and although in itself a very interesting question, it is true that it only satisfies mental curiosity, and like any definition there is very little practical use, but ...

Each science has a subject and method.
The method can be empirical or abstract.
The subject can be a person or nature. In the first case, science in its subject is humanitarian, in the second - natural.
So, there are four classes of sciences: natural-abstract, natural-empirical, humanitarian-abstract and humanitarian-empirical.

In a simplified and pure form, it is limited to only the first two operations.

The following operations are characteristic of the abstract method: postulation of axioms, introduction of definitions, deductive derivation of theorems, logical analysis of judgments.

The empirical method allows you to judge only about specific facts, measurable and observable.
Its findings are practical in nature, but can only be applied in strictly defined circumstances.

The empirical method cannot reveal unconditional truth, but it suggests what to expect from the future.

The abstract method makes it possible to judge laws and ideas that cannot be seen and observed, but can only be formulated.

His conclusions are the absolute truth, which is true always and everywhere. However, it is theoretical and not directly related to the observed facts and phenomena.

The abstract method does not allow one to accurately predict the future position and state of specific objects, but it gives knowledge about the laws that they obey.

Natural and abstract sciences are mathematics, logic and systems analysis.
They study the part of nature that is hidden behind visible phenomena, allowing them to understand their essence. They are even necessary to create models used in empirical research.
These sciences are called mathematical.

The natural-empirical sciences are physics, astronomy, chemistry and biology, as well as all technical disciplines.
They study those phenomena and objects of nature that can be observed, described and measured with the help of well-defined means, instruments and concepts. Only these disciplines are considered sciences in the narrow sense.
These sciences are called exact.

Humanities and abstract sciences are philosophy and all its branches, including, for example, economics and ethics.
They study the laws, principles and ideas that govern or obey people in their activities. The rigorous method of geometry gives them the pattern of a consistent system.
These sciences are traditionally called moral sciences.

The humanities and empirical sciences are psychology, linguistics, sociology, demography, economic geography, applied statistics and econometrics.
They try to study objectively observable facts from people's lives. The listed disciplines have so far achieved the least success among all sciences. A lot of observations and descriptions have been accumulated, and the methods of measurement are much worse developed than in the exact sciences.
Their main task is to clearly define the range of phenomena to which the empirical method is applicable, the conditions when it is capable of giving a useful forecast.
It is appropriate to call these sciences historical, since they are impossible without a systematic presentation of facts that have occurred in the past.
History is not a separate science.
Historical work usually contains not only a systematization of social facts of the past, but also attempts at philosophical research, and sometimes a description of changes in nature.
Some branches of knowledge are at the junction of two classes.
Geography is a historically accurate discipline, mechanics is an exact mathematical one, epistemology is a mathematical-moral one, economics is a moral-historical one.
It is more accurate to say about economics that this is not one single science, but two different ones. The deductive praxeology of the classical and Austrian schools is a moral science, and the inductive econometrics of the monetarists and their predecessors is historical.
All of this is written to dispel prejudice around the term "humanities". In addition, it should have been determined long ago whether mathematics and philosophy could be considered sciences.

Finally, a curious coincidence should be mentioned.
The four classes of sciences described above exactly correspond to the four basic psychotypes that socionics distinguishes.

Empirical is the same as sensory. The abstract coincides with the intuitive. Logical is natural. Ethical means human.

Therefore, the following correspondences are obvious.
Natural-abstract, or mathematical science is a logical-intuitive type.
Natural-empirical, exact science is a logical-sensory type.
Humanitarian-abstract, or moral science is an ethical-intuitive type.
Humanitarian-empirical, historical science - ethical-sensory type.

The empirical method consists in the sequential performance of the following five operations: observation, measurement, modeling, forecasting, forecast verification.
