There are many people in the world who do not believe that astrology is a valid art – they are as superstitious hocus-pocus and this without really great understanding of what astrology is really off.

Famous Sir Isaac Newton, one of the science and reached in the history of the modern world was firmly believe in the qualities and powers of astrology, in fact, when controversy over the validity of astrology, he said to the mathematician and astronomer Sir Edmond Halley had noticed his beliefs and the ridiculous: “Sir, I have studied astrology, not you.”

And therein lies the point – most people who reject astrology, do so on the strength of the peripheral aspects of science, without ever really study and understand what is astrology.

Ironically, much of the history, astrology and astronomy were classified as science itself, in fact it is only recently that they were divided into various disciplines. In the formation of astrology as an art, it was impossible to establish a position in his astrological charts without a certain degree of knowledge about astronomy. Without maps of the heavens, astrology does not know much about the form that was practiced by ancient people has driven.

May well be the time to mark the birth of modern astrology as we know, the Greeks had already begun to note the fundamental differences between the disciplines. The words “Astrologia” and “Astronomia” were essentially interchangeable for most people and is often used interchangeably in conversation, but they were not the same concept. The famous philosopher Plato taught Astronomia and classifies it was a geometric model of the global phenomenon. However, knowledge of the differences between the two assumptions is not whether it was correct and the other does not, to make both fully accepted in society.

However, these two disciplines have begun, as being more than just different for the Age of Reason “section (around 1700AD) was a time, Immanuel Kant, the famous German philosopher, as” the humanity of the final coming of age, the emancipation of the human consciousness of an immature state of ignorance and error. “This was the beginning of astronomy is regarded as the physical behavior of the cosmos, on a purely mathematical and logical – a science that only quantifiable measures such as physics, chemistry, mathematics and so on, there is astrology in the less quantifiable influences. the heavenly bodies influence the interaction of life can not be explained or proved by mathematical formulas.

How astronomy has developed, it has deviated further and further away from astrology and learn the science and astronomers are able to see more and more into the sky, this divergence is likely to continue.

There are fundamental differences between astrology and astronomy, which essentially means that both look to the sky, they are different and are increasingly coming into conflict in many ways.

Astronomers try to understand the physics of the universe, while astrologers to use drawn to the calculations of the position of celestial bodies at certain times of the lines between astronomical events and corresponding events on earth. While astronomers are clearly defined and accepted scientific principles used in their work astrologers use a sum of the accumulated knowledge and intuition in their instinctive.

Astrologers know that the universe is harmonious and essentially unchanging, astronomers have known that one of the features of the universe is that it be expanded even further.

Astrologers know that the heavenly bodies and their position in the sky at any time an individual personality and the future is determined, astronomers know that planets and stars in the sky and how scientifically they influence each other and the earth relate, but found no quantifiable evidence of the astrological theory based.

The only real thing that astronomers in accordance with the astrologer, is that the earth is connected, a part of the fabric of the universe and our planet into a coherent cosmos and is the two are not separate entities.

Astrology can not explain empirically demonstrated that not astrologers on the “known laws of nature,” while all that is known in astronomy can be detected. At the same time less is currently known about the universe as discovered to be. Sun to our current understanding, we are not able to anything that is not fully proven.

It is perhaps unfortunate that astronomy and astrology to contradictory way because they both appear fundamental truths, and as long as the other exists and both continue to exist as long as there are stars in the sky. Astrologers and astronomers do not believe they are making fun of science, is, conversely, less forgiving, and many astronomers see no value in astrology. However, on a daily basis, using the more people more to astrology than to do it for astronomy. If you ask the majority of the population on behalf of all zodiac signs, others in a position to answer, it would be able to name all the moons of Jupiter. “
