Episode notes

People are going to go, my astrologers accurate that we're talking about in the scientific study that was run? They were not able to do that. Maybe the scientists picked bad astrologers either on purpose because they're scientists and they have an agenda or because they just picked a bunch of hacks who answered and added a newspaper for a study. That wasn't a real astrologer. And it's not ever, ever, ever going to be that astrology itself is invalid.

Do zodiac signs dictate demeanors and destinies, or are horoscopes hogwash? Dave Farina consults the stars about astrology with us here on Skeptical Sunday!

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:

The pseudoscience of astrology (not to be confused with astronomy — the legitimate study of space) purports that the position of celestial bodies relative to Earth influences events and human behavior.
Initially designed as calendrical systems for predicting seasonal shifts and divining the will of the gods, astrology has been observed across cultures since at least the second millennium BC.
From a scientific standpoint, astrology lacks a coherent explanation and fails to make statistically significant predictions.
Experiments with natal charts and horoscopes consistently show no correlation between astrological predictions and real-life traits or events.
Belief in astrology may offer comfort and purpose, but it hinders scientific progress and critical thinking.
