When examined by objective people with the background and resources to verify the details, we find the stories are usually not as originally portrayed. Astrology Astrology is the belief that the positions of the stars and planets will predict and control our personalities and actions. Unfortunately, a distressing number of people believe this and the daily horoscope can be found in nearly every major newspaper in the country. However, astrology fails even the most simple of test. This is possibly the worst offender of all the pseudosciences because it does more damage in encouraging people to believe there is an easy solution to life s problems than any other pseudoscience.
More people believe in astrology than any other myth.
It is very easy to prove there is nothing to astrology, and is frequently done so in grade school science fairs. Simply get a group of people to compare their day to day lives to their horoscope and keep a track of how valid the predictions are. Make an estimate ahead of time of what you expect to see for an accuracy rate. Do this for a few weeks. When you collect all of the records and compile the data, compare the actual accuracy rate to your predicted one.
