Persuasive Speech Outline: Argumentation Method Don’t do it. Don’t think that just because I am an Aquarius I am a master of manipulation, or amazingly inventive. That’s not how astrology works. The history of astrology goes back thousands of years, and you would think that eventually someone would have perfected the art of reading the all the stars and planets in the galaxy and how their position in the exact moment you are born determines how you react to certain situations throughout your entire life. Astrology may not be a perfect answer to everything, but it can give a person hope for their future. Astrology raises the belief that no man has free will because everything is predetermined in the stars, but it also begs the question that the laws of Nature are not immutable and can be changed. The origins of astrology go back to 3000 BC when links between Earth’s seasons, tides, and planets were first identified. Astrology was first used to plan and predict the outcomes of major political and military events while personal horoscopes were used for royalty and other prominent figures. As religion, astronomy, and scientific theory began to gain momentum in the 17th century, astrology’s credibility declined. In the 20th century it re-emerged as people realized neither science nor religion held the answers to life’s big questions. Psychology Professor Hans Eysenck and the father of analytical psychotherapy, Carl Jung agree the human psyche is influenced by

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.

(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.
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.
Popper says that Astrology is not science because astrologers were too impressed with confirming evidence. Also astrology is not falsifiable. Astrologers make vague predictions and can explain any apparent
