by The concept of science applied to astrology
The discipline of astrology lacks the necessary scientific basis for contemporary scientific understanding. According to it, astrology fails to conform to the established standards for scientific inquiry, which require rigorous and systematic investigation through theoretical and empirical means to study the mechanisms that govern the physical world.
The convergence of science and astrology entails an inquiry into the correlation between cosmic phenomena and the observer’s consciousness. The latter functions as an organiser of a cosmic vision that would otherwise remain incomprehensible. Essentially, the universe and human awareness are inextricably linked as part of a unified process. This enables us to explain astrological dynamics not solely in a worldly sense but as symbols or signs integral to our unitary consciousness.
Of course, this does not preclude astrology from using the tools from natural sciences, such as the geocentric-ecliptic coordinate systems and planetary ephemeris, nor does it diminish the inherent value of the natural sciences in the areas where they are applied. Instead, astrology provides a complementary approach to comprehending ourselves and the world around us.
For further in-depth analysis: Is astrology experimental, or is it based on axioms?
