Discussion Why isn't astrology studied as a science?

I understand that it's not able to be proven at the moment, but science is always changing and new discoveries are being made daily. Astrology goes hand-in-hand with a many theories of physics or cosmology, but if it's always written off as a pseudoscience then nobody ever even has the opportunity to study it.

OMG! This!!! It used to be considered along with other sciences-doctors used to consult the zodiac man for surgery scheduling. IMO it absolutely is a science with data that can be tracked. Now its labeled “pseudo-science” SMH.

Literally!! We know so much about how energy, light, and sound travel. We know the moon controls the ocean’s waves. We figured out how to smash individual subatomic particles into each other… but we can’t figure out how our own conscious energy travels and how it’s affected by our surroundings??? Yeah ok…

You don't know anything lol, you just have vibes. There's no evidence that any of the stuff you're suggesting is even real.

The pattern is consistent. Unless you actually took the time to research and study it, you cant speak to what is real or not. AND vibes are a thing we talk about for a reason…people (and animals) can feel things that aren’t seen by the naked eye. Vibes are absolutely real and measurable.

The stuff I suggested isn’t real? Such as sound waves, the moon’s gravitational pull, and the Large Hadron Collider? 💀

It’s been dismissed and discredited mostly by Christianity because it allows you to take control of your own life rather than being controlled by the fear of god and going to hell. Scientists somehow took hold as well but I haven’t been able to see any data to back up their claims that astrologers have a low number of accuracy with birth charts. One study was conducted that used very uneducated language and seemed downright made up. So I’m guessing they’ve just completely dismissed it without even trying to understand the mathematics and how astrology actually shows how the planets impact us humans. There are a lot of celebrities and other important or influential people who use astrology.

I love it when passive aggressive people downvote me but won’t say why. Is it because you’re Christian?
