Hello,
http://www.americanhumanist.org/about/astrology.html
My entire description about astrology differs to that of what
astrology , which is mentioned in the above document.To the extend
which is mentioned in the document, it says astrology as barely a
superficial predicting practice without any scientific basis.I differ
with the document on the question "what is astrology"
To supplement my point i would like to quote the url
http://ignca.nic.in/nl002503.htm which talks about "DATING THE
KURUKSHETRA WAR".
"Dr. R. Subramaniam in his observations also agreed that there was a
need to develop a critical editions of the verses with interpretations
in consensus with astronomy, history, archaeology, Sanskrit astrology
and mathematics. He suggested that verifications should take into
account occurrence of double eclipse, Saturn in Rohini and the use of
all available software and data. Another valid point he raised was
the absence of direct reference to winter solstice in the Mahabharata.
Once that is available it was felt that 'everything could be
nailed.'"
This is what the study of Samhita is, or correlation of various
information present in "history, archaeology, Sanskrit astrology and
mathematics", to this context i said Astrology is a science.
I disagree to that fact that to just count astrology as a
superficial prediction practice.While Vedic astrology had astronomy,
samhita and hora,till this day ,indian astrology holds the components
what are mentioned in the Vedic astrology.
