Astrology - The validity of astrology

Main article: Validity of astrology

Astrology is a very controversial subject. The case for and the case against astrology's objective validity are discussed more fully at Validity of astrology.

Some astrologers argue that astrology works by a mechanism that is (yet) unknown to science and that it is validated by their personal experience when applied in real life cases. They argue that it does not make the hard predictions that science would require but informs the user of subtleties to decisions that would otherwise be missed.

Skeptics see astrology as repeatedly failing to demonstrate its effectiveness in controlled studies and see those who continue to use and believe in it as gullible and deluded, or even as charlatans.
