Astrology is a widespread belief of people like a religion. In Sri Lanka astrology is used in most of special occasions such as marriage, building a house, naming a newborn etc. Even though there is no proven science, majority strictly believe it and many do not hesitate to postpone even most important things in their lives just because of this.
As I know the Horoscope, one of the main components in astrology, is the map which shows the position of the planets at the time of birth. According to the astrology, practiced in Sri Lanka, nine (9) planets can be seen in the horoscope. Among those two planets are (Rahu and Kethu) mythical and the rest is really the members of our solar system.
In science it has been evidently proven that the earth and the other planets of the solar system go around the Sun. But in astrology it is considered that the Sun and the other planets go around the earth. (or relative motion of other planets against the earth).
According to the astrology the future of an individual can be predicted studying the position of planets (horoscope) at the time of birth and motions of the planets influence the lives of people.
Planets can affect the earth and people even in science. But the influence of planets in astrology is completely different from what explained in science.
As an example when a particular planet comes closer to the earth, the underline region of the earth might experience the force of gravity. But in astrology two people standing closely experience different effects according to the position of the planets of their birth charts.
How does a planet million miles far away from the earth influence millions of people in different ways? The other thing is, if the astrology is so accurate why the sex of a person cannot be exactly expressed using the time of birth. Astrologers are unable to come up with an acceptable answer. So is it really worth to depend on astrology?
