Have you ever wondered why there is such an evident prejudice against Gemini’s? Even if you didn’t know that was a thing, now don’t you want to find out? Well to tell you the truth there really is no logical reason why people target Gemini. People could have just as easily targeted Sagittarius or Leo but they chose not to. I believe that one thing that made it easier to target Gemini was the fact that the sign Gemini stands for the constellation of the “twins” so you could call them “two faced”. There are always good and bad people for every sign, so there is no real reason for any stereotype against any one of them, especially if you don’t believe in horoscopes. I hope as you read more about the process and the science behind all of the …show more content…
By its definition, horoscope means “a forecast of a person's future, typically including a delineation of character and circumstances, based on the relative positions of the stars and planets at the time of that person's birth.”* Your horoscope is generally, if not always, determined by your “star sign” or your zodiac sign. Now as I continue to study this, I find that determining a horoscope is a very exact process. Now, I can’t explain this in any other way or it won’t make any sense and my job is to educate you on this right? Right, so I’m going to directly quote the website. “Your horoscope charts the relative positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars at a specific time and place of your choosing (e.g., the date, time and location of your birth). Astrologers don't use "clock time." Rather, they measure it as "sidereal" time, as measured from the sun's position at the spring equinox.” So basically it is saying that your birth determines your horoscope. What I find interesting is that Astrologers, when determining horoscopes, don’t use regular peasant time, they use their fancy sidereal time. The only way I can interpret said sidereal time is after the equinox (Daylight Savings) they measure where the sun is due to the time shift. From there you can then determine the time using your hand like “everyone” knows how to do. After all that mumbo …show more content…
(I can’t remember the website now but) A website said that if you believe in astrology wholeheartedly that is 90%-100% true for you. If you believe on the down low, just dabble here and there, it is most likely 40%-60% true for you. Finally, if you don’t believe at all it would only be 0%-20% true for you. In some aspects it seems totally fake. The chance of everyone born in the same month as you having similar traits to you is about as likely as evolution, it can’t happen. But if you think about it, I would say at least half of those people wouldn’t believe in astrology at all and maybe 20-ish% would just believe a little. Though that may be the case, I would still say it is highly unlikely. Most of the tools used in “reading your horoscope” I believe are “hocus pocus” (no pun intended… well maybe a little…). Things like Tarot Cards, dowsing rods and runes may help you to “feel the energy” but really all they’re doing is putting on a show. Astrology is definitely not irreducibly complex, and I could probably rip this apart piece by piece and dive head first into the root of all the stars. [For the sake of my sleep schedule I will save that for my final copy xD] I will add something though, the horoscopes you see in the paper are definitely not something you should believe, and they are most likely not done by someone who knows what they’re doing.
This, compared to the belief about the zodiac signs, is a significant change during the
Astrology is the use of the relative positions of celestial objects to predict events on Earth. It is an ancient field of study, having been in use thousands of years before common era. Cultures around the world had been looking to the skies for forecasts on happenings in their everyday lives long before Europeans began to do so. In Europe, astrology never established itself as a large influence on society until the Renaissance came around, mostly due to the strict Catholic principles that bound people to a particular set of beliefs. Prior to the Renaissance, according to the Encyclopedia of the Renaissance by Paul F. Grendler, astrology was often “condemned as determinist or unreliable or irreligious.” However, as the Renaissance unfolded,

One of the main differences between astrology and astronomy is that astronomy is based off of research and facts, while astrology is based on the beliefs. Founded in Babylon, astrology uses planets and other celestial objects to try to predict the future. Astrology is not a science, it is the theorem that everything that happens in space affects what happens to people on earth. Astrology is considered a pseudoscience, or a belief that is not based on science or the scientific method.
Astrology is defined as the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world. During the Elizabethan era astrology, was used as an influence for day to day affairs. The most known figures of the Elizabethan era, Queen Elizabeth herself and Shakespeare, used astrology.

Most Elizabethans held strong beliefs in astrology and considered it a legitimate science. The Elizabethans astrology consisted in the belief that their fate was intertwined with the movements of the planets and stars. Being that
When I was little, I really didn’t know what astrology was or what your zodiac sign was. When I was growing up, I finally figured out what it all meant and how it worked. From that point on I was instantly clicked. I loved reading my horoscope and when ever I did read it, nine out of ten times it would be right, and that’s why I loved reading my horoscope. It was just something I did every morning, and then I would go throughout my day. Then at night when I would be back on the computer, i would reread them, and realize that most of the time those things did happen, or I did feel that type of emotion.

We our not completely sure if Shakespeare believed in astrology, but later in life in a new play, he had the character Julius Caesar ask the question upon the astrology of the stars placement on when were born, “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings.”

II.
In it he details the contents of “Horoscopic Astrology,” which employs the use of a horoscope, which represents the major constellations and planets in the sky and their movements. The position of the planets at a certain period of time determines the nature of people born during the certain time, or so the theory goes. Astrology is heavily dismissed by the modern scientific community, although it experiences fluctuating popularity throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. During the Dark Ages and Middle Ages, astrology was seen as a canonical and very real science. The Roman Emperors, as well as the Popes, and various European and Middle Eastern monarchs had a personal court astrologer.
So the numbers we got was not different from what we expected. Since we accepted hypothesis there were no errors in the lab that affected results. Which proves our point that horoscopes cannot predict anyone’s life. Also it was noticed that some people got higher correct answers but that does not say that they are psychic. Nick Allum tested an experiment which was to study Europeans believing in Astrology. He had three basic hypothesis which were they don’t have enough education in science to differentiate pseudoscience to science, confused about astrology, and people with authoritarian values believe in astrology. He tested it and it came out that “all three of his hypotheses are most likely true” (Allum, 2011, p. 361-363). This experiment tells us that horoscopes aren’t really believable. There weren’t errors with our data but one little error would be if a group didn’t get what the journal entry was saying they would have just guessed a later cause they were really annoyed by it. This error wouldn’t do major damage to our data but it might have done
Astrology should be taken more seriously. There are five key reasons that outline the truth of astrology. First, astrology has been used for over six thousand years and was historically considered to be more accurate than medical professionals. Several scientific studies have been conducted to support astrological findings. Several yearly predictions that were made astrologically have been known to come true with a high success rate. Additionally, astrologers use a twelve-sign system to analyze individual personality traits, one study on these predictions held a 96% accuracy rate. Lastly, some psychologists today have taken to using astrology as a diagnosis tool and to treat their clients. These clients responded positively to their treatment.
