Is there any scientific basis for the "constellation"?

Modern people have some doubts about the zodiac. Constellation divination is calculated from the year when a person was born. Astrology believes that the fate of human beings is related to the characteristics of constellations, and there are some unspeakable things in it. In the eyes of scientists, astrology is no different from fortune telling. Now the more educated students or white-collar workers, the more they believe in astrology. So does astrology have a solid theoretical foundation?

Astrology cannot be called astrology. Some scientists are against astrology because they think there is no real theoretical basis. Astrology studies the sun, moon, earth and other planets, so it is called astrology. Astrology depends only on the stars in the sky. There is an essential difference between the two. Back to the topic, scientists now say that astrology has no basis, so why can't we use scientific basis to break this superstition? In fact, many scientists have done such experiments in the past and all ended in failure.

There are two reasons for failure, one is self-attribution and the other is Barnum effect. Self-attribution means that when people are disturbed by the outside world, their cognition of things is not so simple, so they will choose the category of psychological cognition to answer questions. Now astrology has spread widely. Everyone has some astrological information more or less. During the experiment, people will tend to their favorite astrology. Such an experiment is doomed to fail, because the answer will never be true, even if the experimenter believes it is true. Barnum effect says that people's self-awareness is usually summarized by a vague concept, because there are not many numbers that people can really know themselves, and they are too subjective to be used as a basis. For these two reasons, astrology still exists and is accepted by the public.

Astrology appeared many years ago. According to Aristotle's soul theory at that time, the human soul can drive the body, which is the origin of all human activities. He also put forward the theory of perception. Hiddowd believes that the soul can perceive everything. Now fortune-tellers also say that celestial bodies are visible, souls are invisible, and souls contain rationality and harmony. Astrologers believe that constellations can test people's character because celestial bodies and seasonal changes are important factors affecting people's temperament.
