The Truth About Astrology - Full Documentary In our modern age of science and rationality, the mere mention of astrology is enough to evoke a broad range of reactions across the spectrum of society. For many people, the term astrologer summons to mind images of hippies, new-age witches, so-called psychics or a variety of other charlatans and frauds. On the other hand, kings and emperors throughout history have used their secret knowledge of astrology to their own great benefit. To this day, politicians and judges, world-famous celebrities, powerful businessmen, and financiers from New York and the City of London to Moscow and Hong Kong, still use astrology to guide them when they make important decisions. So what is astrology all about, and how can this ancient science be put to use to help you? Read on to discover the answers to these and other questions. First let's tackle some common myths and misconceptions about astrology. - Astrology is not magic. This bears repeating: astrology is not magic. The science underlying the practice of astrology is based on thousands of years of empirical research, and as with all good science, our understanding of astrology continues to evolve and improve as we do. Just as alchemy paved the way for the development of modern science and the widely-respected scientific method, so too will astrology lead the way to a greater understanding of the energies that permeate the Universe and how their ebb and flow can affect terrestrial life. - Astrology is not a new-age fad. We've all seen the signs for those shady tarot and palm-reading shops, and if you've traveled through Europe (especially Eastern Europe) then you've probably encountered various gypsies and other ne'er-do-wells hocking their fortune telling and astrology services, often at exorbitant prices. Unfortunately, most of these people are charlatans and frauds; some of them are well-intentioned but delusional about their own capabilities, and occasionally you may find a genuine astrologer out there, but the vast majority of such individuals are nothing more than snake-oil salesmen (or women, as the case often is) and they know it. Real astrology is an ancient science practiced by respected individuals throughout history, including right up to the modern day. You won't find real astrologers hocking their services with exaggerated claims, false promises, or gimmicky promotions, because they simply don't need to. And although some legitimate astrologers do sell crystals, essential oils and other natural products, you wouldn't find most of us within a mile of a New Age shop. Many of us are doctors, lawyers, teachers or professionals in other fields, and astrology is just another aspect of our lives. - Astrology is not based on superstitious mumbo-jumbo. Much of the confusion surrounding whether astrology is or is not a legitimate science stems from the fact that astrologers have historically made great use of symbolism and allegory to communicate their understanding of how the position of the stars impacts terrestrial life. Modern astrologers still use much of the same terminology and symbolism simply because modern science has yet to catch up with astrology. We are only now starting to study and understand the impact of things like mass coronal ejections from the sun and how they impact life here on Earth; it's no surprise that we haven't even begun to understand how the electromagnetic waves and radioactive energies of other stars may impact life here. - Astrology is not easy. This is a bit of a double-edged statement. On the one hand, the principles that underlie the practice of astrology are quite simple and easy to grasp; but on the other hand, just take a look at the nighttime sky next time you're away from the city! To get the most accurate readings from any astrological chart, there are usually two or three dozen different aspects and relationships to look at and take into consideration, and this is what makes astrology complex and difficult, especially if you want the most accurate and detailed results. Remember those kings and emperors I mentioned, as well as the politicians, celebrities and market-shaping financiers around the world? Well, part of why they are able to use astrology to their own benefit is because they can afford to pay for the services of skilled astrologers. When a powerful businessman in India wants to find a good date for his company merger, the astrologer he hires may take anywhere from several days to several weeks to select the most opportune time. Good astrology takes time and effort, because there are many planets, stars and celestial bodies, as well as their positions and relationships to one another, which must be considered.

I think that it could be measured how exactly the Sun affects us people if scientists succeed to capture solar energy (for unlimited energy purposes) & interpret it.
Astrology is surely intriguing -

There is no evidence for Astrology, total bullcrap. It is even dangerous for it completely destroys peoples ability to look rationally at the world we are living in. It makes me angry that an increasingly number of people believe in this Pseudoscience, especially in Europe and Western societies.

Can Virgos and Capricorns live together? Its the 66 million dollar question and the most logical, reasonable answer is simply no. My apologies for a terribly awkard and childish, immature, spammy comment about this otherwise quality video (this comment is over 30 lines, and mentions the philosophy of Karl Popper, and modern astrology research - to prevent this comment from wasting the time of its reader, it is advised the first lines be read first, and the latter ones later). It goes like this. Capricorns have often been called the masters of ad hominem, but so has the negative part of the Virgo personality. If the Virgo does not say no with the Capricorn in advance, according to some of those who advocate against a Capricorn / Virgo relationship, the Capricorn will dominate the relationship and then destroy it, blaming the Virgo, usually citing some fictional flaws the Capricorn thinks he has detected in the Virgo, whom he is always trying to correct. Science has grown to become surprisingly comfortable with astrology, particularly the scientifically proven notion that capricorns and virgos are unable to live together. Despite I assert that it has been proved scientifically - I am not saying that it has anything to do with planets affecting people. The point is that astrology is largely symbolism. Astrological charts are largely symbolic. Because of that, their results can be falsified. Thus said, Karl Popper would have agreed that computerized astrology charts are scientific. If we can find a chart, whose results can not be falsified, if we can find a capricorn / virgo relationship whose result is not a failure because virgos can not live with capricorns because it is beyond their nature to do so and thus their capacity, then it will, judging by Karl Popper´s logic, not be a scientific chart. Of course my comment is terribly awkard and childish, but I have never met any scientist in my life, who is overtly hostile of astrology. The reason astrology has become associated with pseudoscience, is because everyone is judged because of their natal or birth charts. Before 2005, I remember Karl Popper having defined the scientific method something on the following terms: ´if scientific test results can not be falsified when it comes to test a claim, then the claim is scientific´. Now it seems to be the reverse: ´if scientific test results can be falsified when it comes to test a claim, then the claim is NOT scientific´. Of course he never said it directly but you get Karl Popper´s view, and therefore his view on science and such things as astrology, and WHY astrology has been called a pseudoscience. Maybe our culture has conditioned us to agree that Capricorns and Virgos cannot live together, that societal pressure has resulted in most Capricorns becoming convinced that, the reason they can´t spend times with Virgos is, because Virgos are Virgos. Now, imagine if our constellations were all named something different, and all had different dates, and the names of the planets were totally different - would the Virgo equivalent and the Capricorn equivalent still be unable to live with each other?

I understand what she means by saying your "confident on the outside but worried on the inside" , I believe it could be true whether it's true or not, people choose to believe what they want to believe.
Honestly I am the opposite, I'm worried on the outside but somewhere inside I have confidence -
#Zomby Woof whats up with the pampers commercial coming on several times during the video? @Alexis Doe
Hey, truly dug listening your video presentation. You offer quite simply cool observation. Wherever you get a minute , I would like your criticism on any of my video recordings. Kudos -
This is a great documentary/study into Astrology
-
The way the occult can give you personal knowledge is from Demons... You provide a doorway for them to get into your life.
-
Astrology is occult from ancient Babylon-research if you don't believe me...the bible says it's an abomination so it has no business being combined with Christianity. Anton LaVey former Satanist high priest said that all new age and Astrology is Satanism just not giving him glory for it...follow the stars instead of Gods word at your Spiritual peril.
-
I disagree with a few points: Astrology is not "the attempt at" anything, Astrology just IS. It is Man's study-able map of Life and World.
Secondly, Man has studied the skies for much more than 5000 years, as this documentary states in the beginning.
Shame.. -
