First of all, it must be emphasized that horoscope and astrology are not the same thing. If astrology and physics are compared in a familiar scientific category, "constellation" probably corresponds to "force analysis" in the mechanical branch of physics. I still remember that people who think in physics in middle school can easily come to a conclusion that force analysis is often only a step to study the motion characteristics of objects, and there is still a long way to go to get the real answer.

Secondly, explain the problem of "scientific basis". I suggest that people who really understand the precise meaning of "scientificity" and "scientific basis" carefully read Cheng Yinan's answer under reading. I think this is the most appropriate and objective explanation of whether astrology is scientific or not. The conclusion is correct. Astrology studies people's personality and life, and these things can't be used for experiments at all, so if the "scientific method" in human knowledge system remains unchanged forever, astrology will never reach the standard of "science".

If it is not scientific enough, we will not study these contents? The answer is obviously no.

A result that we don't know the correct rate, so we don't care? You must be unwilling.

Unwilling psychology, the psychology of seeking knowledge, the psychology of longing for a sense of security, and so on are all calling for a "system" that can provide accurate explanations like science. Moreover, the public simply does not understand the operating law of science, and is more inclined to blindly follow a conclusion, "just say it is not reliable." In this vague background, astrology can rapidly expand its influence.

I hope everyone can clearly know that astrology is absolutely not up to scientific standards. And I hope everyone can further recognize the fact that the development of your personality, what will happen in your life, and the so-called relationship between personality and destiny may not be absolutely correct in your lifetime. Most of the problems we care about do not have the conditions for scientific experiments and cannot draw accurate conclusions. Anyone may be right or wrong, and our most urgent psychological needs may not be met.

On this premise, let's discuss the vague knowledge system of astrology. For the convenience of writing, let's call astrology a knowledge system and a theoretical system.

The theoretical basis is simple. People have "interaction" with the planets in the sky (not the planets in the astronomical sense). To be exact, people are influenced by planets, even absolutely dominated. And you should always remember that current science cannot prove what this interaction comes from, is it mysterious invisible energy or particles? No one can prove it. This is the magical result of the joint action of pure "hope" and "imagination". On the basis of this purely unprovable "hypothesis", human beings have worked hard to build a huge and complete building. Of course, in the eyes of the scientific system, it is a pure castle in the air.

Almost all people who study astrology and claim to know astrology will convey an idea intentionally or unintentionally that "everything" has been revealed by the planets in the sky. As long as we can accurately grasp the laws of planetary motion, we can accurately analyze the future "everything." Please note that this is an extremely vague concept. Please note that it is almost tailor-made for our "most urgent psychological needs". But this is undoubtedly wrong. Most people are unaware of this mistake, including astrologers. They tried their best to expand the terminology system and expand the way of theoretical analysis, trying to "explain" that his conclusions and predictions were accurate, but you didn't feel it, or you weren't smart enough to understand it.

We can't know everything Can we infer that we know nothing? I tend to think that astrology is an unclear and incomplete system, and human beings try to find laws with it, but so far they can't provide real laws like scientific methods. It's annoying that all the laws are incomplete. But at the same time, it also leaves more imagination space for many people and provides the possibility of "being able to complete".

Astrology is a "huge hypothesis", which has not been proved so far. You will find that physicists can put forward a unified idea and deduce a unified direction when discussing physical problems, and future generations can continue to move forward along this direction. But astrologers are fighting each other. ...

If you are willing to hold a naive imagination, that is, there must be a connection between people and the stars in the sky, then please continue to look down. If you firmly believe that unscientific things should be abandoned, please leave with satisfaction and convince astrologers to get lost based on Cheng Yinan's answer.

To be responsible, the conclusion is "imaginary". The process is the same as any problem that you want to be assisted by scientific theory and scientific data. You use formulas and data to construct various possibilities in your mind and propose various solutions.

Astrology has a complicated discussion system and its formal logic is quite clear. However, only those who have been trained in scientific thinking can insist on using this complex logic to deduce a partially correct and incomplete "result". Such astrologers are often cautious when providing conclusions, and all possibilities should be considered. It is also easy for listeners to judge this person with "natural scientific thinking" and feel that they dare to say answers that are not allowed. But if you compare scientific papers, you will also find that the correct way of thinking is precisely this cautious attitude. You should always remember that you are on a road that no one can guarantee that you are right. What makes you so confident that everything you say can stand the test of time? This is actually not a matter of astrology, but a matter of people. There are many such people in the "scientific community". See a perpetual motion stick ...

The power of science lies in the accuracy of logic. If you talk nonsense, you will find that you can't go on at all and get stuck in a few words. It's like you use the formula of conservation of energy, and you don't believe the result of your calculation, which forces you to go back and test your thinking process.

The power of astrology lies in the low accuracy of logic, and you will find it very smooth if you talk nonsense! What's even more awesome is that people will believe you when you talk nonsense. There are countless concrete examples, such as the classic broken clock theory. For example, an anonymous respondent said that his "star luck" was all fabricated, and his fans were still one after another.

A large number of "people" who have received strict scientific thinking training are all human beings. They can use this cautious attitude to "verify". Whether it is natural science or social science, whether it is physics or psychology, their judgments and conclusions are likely to be proved wrong, but they are cherished by future generations. It is these misguided attempts that constantly guide future generations forward. Unfortunately, in the field of astrology, there are too few people who are willing to make stones. Everyone thinks they are standing on the other side of the river and have time to laugh at the idiots behind them. This is probably why science can shine brilliantly and astrology is still at the stage of invention.

In the astrology system, there are three reference coefficients that affect the results, namely, the planet, the position of the zodiac where the planet is located, and the mysterious "palace" area drawn according to the birth time and latitude and longitude. According to different positions and angles, there will be different deductive logic. If this formal logic is used carefully, a formal "result" can be deduced. Again, whether this result is "true" cannot be tested.

The so-called classical astrology, modern astrology and Indian astrology are all so-called "formal logic", or you can understand them as different formula systems. Just like eating meat is good for health vs.

Eating vegetables is good for health.

Same. Which sentence is more accurate? The result of logical deduction is not necessarily true. You must first learn this special astrological logic and astrological thinking, then describe the "result" carefully, and then verify whether it is true in reality.

This is exactly the same as scientific thinking, except that science occupies all areas that can be replicated through experiments, and we are very easily confused. We found that after different people reached the same semi-finished conclusion with the same logic, they encountered data that were not available in various astrological systems in the process of verifying reality, and no one said how to deal with it, so your thinking began to get out of control. Formally, you will find that there are dozens of ways to analyze the same problem, and the same way of thinking may lead to dozens of conclusions. You don't know which to listen to.

I think what you are asking here is "astrology".

If you mean whether astrologers can provide accurate predictions, my answer is that some people can and some people can't; Some things can be predicted and some things can't. Basically depends on the level of people.

For example. When a person gets married, this kind of thing is definitely not something that scientists can solve, but everyone hopes that this problem can be formally deduced at some point, and everyone likes the feeling that "the stone in his heart has fallen". When I use astrology, I boil down the "event" of marriage to "a certain house", find the "star" corresponding to this house, calculate the "appropriate interval" of this star at "a certain time" according to astronomical data, and tell the other party the time (quotation marks are astrological content, not expanded). But the problem is not over yet. This time has different calculation methods, that is, different formal logic. Perhaps the fans of modern astrology will fight with the supporters of classical astrology, because they have not found the same astrology as their respective formal logic, and naturally they have not guessed a unified time. Secondly, married couples and two people's astrolabes are likely to launch at different times. Which should I press? It's not in the astrology book.

Whether it can play a guiding role in reality is involved from this stage. This does not depend on astrology at all, but on people's understanding and experience of the world. A person who has never been married, a person who has been divorced for fourteen times, a person who doesn't trust marriage because of his parents' divorce, and a homosexual who will probably never get married. Will they agree on marriage? Obviously different. Their understanding of marriage is likely to lead them not to strictly use the logic provided by astrology, and they may follow their own every step preferences. Because as I said before, the logic of astrology is not as strict as that of science, and the evil consequences brought by too much flexible space are reflected here.

If you are anxious to grasp the real problem of marriage, you should first find a "marriage" expert. But unfortunately, there is no such person in society at present, and there is no compulsory course "How Love Should Go to Marriage" in universities. Both parents think that you should bring someone to get married after graduating from college, and that you are gay, which is why you are furious. In this environment, your own attitude towards marriage may be ambiguous, and of course it is easy to be deceived by the formal conclusion of "unknown origin and unclear ideas"

There are many practical problems similar to those of marriage. For example, the choice of career, the suitability of doing certain industries have not been taught, and finding a job has become a very valuable thing. Don't you just pick an astrologer and he has to tell you what all occupations and industries are like?

Many questions need to be told by real experts in this field. Why ask an astrologer? As for the role of psychological relief, you exaggerate the significance of psychological relief. Some people can't have children. Do you feel at ease when they ask? If you don't give me time, you are lying, right? For most difficulties encountered by most people, there is only one way, and that is to "stand up and walk on without crying." Don't think you are a favored son of heaven. No one will pity you if you die.

What do gentlemen want? Want psychological comfort, a lot of money is waiting for you to send. If you want practical guidance, first find an expert in the corresponding field. Oh, experts are flooding, so we should keep our eyes open ... I hope everyone can overcome their inherent psychological defects, such as "wanting to listen to good words", "wanting to make themselves comfortable", "wanting to make themselves feel less guilty" and "wanting to get all the benefits without bearing the consequences", keep working hard and keep a positive attitude towards life and thinking.
