You can't prove nonsense with logic, much less math logic. These days, the
scientific study is a distinct field called Astronomy.

'Scientific technique' is based on sound 'logic' and hence will work
for any situation - only that 'logic' is not absolute. There are many
schools of logic that are incompatible with each other. Western math
and science are based on 'western' logic but since it is usually
referred to as just 'logic' we all have been trained to think that's
the correct and absolute logic.
That said, I dont think astrology and vaasthu have any basis even in
Indian logic!! My guess is they all began as scams and have stood the
test of time only because it feeds on people's insecurity. Same reason
that godmen still find gullible followers.
