Often hear that it is a false science. In order to somehow counter such an onslaught, we offer SIX ARGUMENTS for skeptics that astrology can be listened to.
To begin with, the smartest Japanese do not particularly believe in astrology, but also have their own prediction tools - determining the type of person by blood type. So instead of asking about the zodiac sign, they are asking a question about a blood type. And believe me, this sounds even more strange than showing interest in the constellation under which a person was born.
The second argument concerns the interaction of religion and astrology, which are usually negative. But despite this, Pope Sixtus IV in the 15th century became interested in astrological predictions, and even created a horoscope for himself.
The third argument is that astrological forecasts have helped people in agriculture. Using the "advice of the stars", people made decisions when to sow and when to reap a crop.
The fourth argument: astrology might not have such popularity, if not for the house of the Windsor. By the birth of Princess Margaret (the younger sister of Elizabeth II), her individual horoscope was released by one astrologer. The horoscope was published, aroused the interest of readers, and soon the astrologer was invited to keep a weekly column.
The fifth argument in favor of astrology: after the assassination attempt on President Reagan, his wife Nancy hired a personal astrologer for him. There were rumors that the astrologer made not only individual forecasts, but also was an adviser in political matters.
And the sixth argument concerns the fact that in astrology one can even get a higher education. For example, in Washington there is a "College of Astrological Arts and Sciences."
