The movement of the sun on the astrological signs determines your behaviour in that period. The sun moves across all the star signs changing its position on them and this affects the personality.
So, your behaviour depends on the month and the position of the sun on the sign. Even the current position of the sun affects your personality and influences it as well. The position decides how we will behave. For example, during the Capricorn season December and January we generally get very happy and spend money a lot.
When my birthday rolls around on the calendar every September I often think about zodiac signs. There is something mysterious and exciting about zodiac signs. Belief that celestial alignment on your birthday determines personality may be laughable to some, however, astrology has continued to gain popularity in the US through the past 3 decades. Worldwide, countries such as India, South Africa, and Canada are leading the astrology boom. Astrology has its roots in ancient Babylonia around years B.
Astronomy bloomed out of a pagan society which believed in and worshipped many Gods. Or if Venus goddess of love was particularly bright, it was a good time to make love most likely invented by men. As paganism has faded so has the religious nature of astrology. My guess is that many of the present day users of horoscopes and astrology are even unaware of its origins. Regardless, zodiac signs have pervaded popular culture and can be heard at local bars the WORST pick-up line ever or found in your local newspaper.
Many claim their zodiac sign to describe their personality perfectly. My zodiac sign personality description is even fairly accurate. However, when you take a step back and simply consider the numbers, the likelihood that 12 zodiac signs accurately predicting personality appears highly unlikely. According to the Census bureau the US currently has million people.
If that number were divided by 12 zodiac signs to get a rough estimate of how many individuals would represent a given sign it would result in 25 million give or take a million based on more popular birth seasons. That would mean we could somewhat accurately describe the personality style of 25 million people through one zodiac sign! In addition to the overwhelming statistics of attempting to describe too many people with 12 zodiac signs there have been several quantitative studies looking at the possible links between zodiac signs and contemporary conceptualizations of personality.
The best and most recent study is publicly available online. Our findings on astrology concord in general with the reviews of the research literature Dean et al. In fairness, the present study cannot falsify astrology at large since the position of planets other than the sun might also have an effect. However, as pointed out by Eysenck and Nias , p.
The present large-scale study certainly found no independent effects of Sun Signs, Elements, or gender, and thus yields no support for the common claims of astrology. There you have it…No empirical support for the common claims of astrology such as zodiac sign personality descriptions. So what conclusions can we take from this study?
Since these traits are important in politics, we might expect that if astrology really explained people's personalities, scientists would be more likely to have zodiac signs that astrologers describe as "favorable" towards science. Relies on evidence?
In the few cases where astrology has been used to generate testable expectations and the results were examined in a careful study, the evidence did not support the validity of astrological ideas. However, one of the hallmarks of science is that ideas are modified when warranted by the evidence. Astrology has not changed its ideas in response to contradictory evidence. Leads to ongoing research? Scientific studies involving astrology have stopped after attempting and failing to establish the validity of astrological ideas.
So far, there are no documented cases of astrology contributing to a new scientific discovery. Researchers behave scientifically? Scientists don't wait for others to do the research to support or contradict the ideas they propose.
