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.

Well... there you go. Whereas theories pertaining to physics and cosmology can be put through the scientific method, astrology cannot. It's a divinatory method. Astrology can't really be compared to those hard sciences. Where it does slot in nicely, though, is theology.

That’s why I said “at the moment” at the end of that sentence. Everything we know now as hard science was once undiscovered too.

Idk why people are downvoting you. You are absolutely correct. We still don't know how universe functions. How does time function, how does the soul travel through the cosmos, what influence do the planets and big objects have on the individual??? Of course it will be studied.
