According
to the famous astrologer in India,
Scientific advancement has been critical in establishing the high levels of
living that we now enjoy. Without a doubt, mankind's breakthroughs and scientific
discoveries have established the groundwork for advancement that persons only
one or two generations before could never have dreamed. While most people
recognise the role of science in many of the innovation we take for granted
today, large segments of the population in developed countries are sceptical of
scientists and either unable or unwilling to weigh the merits of evidence
gathered through carefully designed empirical studies against anecdotal
evidence or outlier observations.
Examples:
Recent
examples that have received significant media attention include proponents of
anti-vaccination campaigns and supporters of the belief that global warming is
a hoax caused by greenhouse gas emissions, as well as current scepticism toward
wearing a face mask to prevent the spread of an airborne virus during a global
pandemic.
Scientific
literacy:
It
has been described as critical for well-functioning nations and societies, with
arguments that more scientifically literate citizens make it easier for
democratic societies to make informed and fair decisions about science-based
issues. Scientific literacy is a broad term that relates to people's ability to
comprehend and analyse scientific results, as well as their ability to evaluate
information based on its source and methods of production. As a result,
scientific literacy is a crucial cultural trait, as a lack of it strengthens decision-making based on ideas and
emotions rather than verifiable facts.
The
veracity of astrological forecasts in the field of love relationships is
examined in this research, an idea that has been received with suspicion by the
scientific community and is sometimes equated with scientific illiteracy. It
is, nonetheless, a phenomena that has long been accepted and consulted by large
audiences all over the world. Indeed, astrology continues to offer advice to
individuals in books, on the internet, and in magazines and newspapers on
personal topics such as relationships and career choices, potentially
influencing the lives of its most committed adherents. Despite of the fact that
prior research into the veracity of astrological forecasts has made significant
contributions, the majority of it is based on very small and sometimes heavily
selected samples.
Background:
Ideas
based on astrological principles can be found in almost every human
civilisation dating back millennia before Christ's birth. The core underlying
principle is that the placement of celestial objects at a period when it
matters to the individual has an impact on key aspects of their personality,
motivations, wants, and needs. As a result, an astrologer, who has been taught
to calculate the location of key objects and provide an accurate reading, will
be able to offer forecasts or make recommendations that will have a favourable
impact on an individual's well-being. Astrology was regarded a science until
relatively recently, and was an important element of the culture of various
ancient civilizations.
Western
astrology dates back several centuries before the birth of Christ, with
Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos, considered the first comprehensive astrology textbook,
being credited with the foundation of modern astrology. Western astrology is
known for its horoscopic nature, which means that predictions can be made based
on the positions of the planets and stars at a specific point in time, usually
at the time of birth suggested by the best astrologer in India.
Theoretical
framework:
According
to the famous astrologer in Kolkata, the
concept that the position of celestial bodies at the time of birth has a
profound influence on the personality is the theoretical foundation on which
astrology forecasts relationship compatibility of two persons. While the theory
is obvious about which characteristics are influenced by which celestial body
and the strength of this influence based on the celestial body's position at
that moment of birth, it is less clear about the process that causes the
predicted outcome. In order to completely examine a range of distinct traits, natal
astrology, the most comprehensive astrological reading, requires information
not only on the individual's time of birth but also on their geographical
location.
This
is required to determine not only the location of the sun at the time of birth,
but also the locations of many other celestial bodies, each of which has a
distinct influence on the personality of the individual. The 10 celestial
bodies studied, ranging from the Solar and Moon to Venus and Uranus, shift
between the twelve well-known sun signs at variable intervals, each having its
own implications for how the individual's associated attributes are displayed.
For
example, if the planet Venus, which rules sexual and other forms of attraction,
is in Cancer at the time of birth, the individual is likely to be a nester,
whereas if it is in Scorpio, the love life is likely to be stormier.

The
astrologer must also handle the twelve "houses," which symbolise a
different level of influence over certain areas of the individual's life. The
fifth house, in terms of their spheres of influence.
For
example, influences a person's romantic and child-rearing experiences, whereas
the seventh house influences marriage and partnerships. The ascendant, also
known as the rising sign or first house, is the sign that was rising over the
eastern horizon at the time of the individual's birth. The ascendant rotates
through all twelve zodiac signs every 24 hours, implying that each sign is the
rising sign for one day. As a result, if an individual's sun sign is Aries and
they are born when Aries is ascendant, their personality qualities will be
bold, ambitious, and impulsive.
Following
the sign chart, allocating the remaining eleven houses is simple after the
ascendant has been established. If the ascendant is Gemini, the second house
will be Cancer, then Leo, and so on until all twelve houses have been
inhabited. While a full natal reading necessitates more information and is thus
thought to produce a more exact astrological reading, the bulk of horoscopes
read by the general public are based on a sun-sign astrological reading. The
twelve sun signs are said to be distinct based on three characteristics that
together create the foundation for an individual's key personality attributes.
Two
dimensions:
The
first dimension categorises the sun signs into two groups: positive and
negative. Individuals born under the positive signs are thought to be more
extroverted, objective, and forceful, whilst those born under the negative
signs are seen to be introverted, subjective, and receptive. The sun sign's modality
is the next dimension, which divides the sun signs into three categories that
represent distinctions in how people express themselves.
The
changeable sun signs, which include Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces, are
thought to be adaptable and versatile. Individuals born under the four fixed
sun signs, on the other hand, are focused and determined, whilst those born
under the four
cardinal
sun signs are enterprising, change-makers, and doers. The elements constitute
the third and final dimension, with each sign of the zodiac being assigned to
one of the four elements: fire, earth, air, and water.
The
twelve sun signs are distributed evenly across the four elements, with three
sun signs in each, following the same logic as the previously discussed
dimensions. The linked traits reveal information about an individual's
personality, with the air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) excelling in both
intellect and sociability, while the fire signs excel in vigour, enthusiasm,
and intensity.
Each
sun sign is represented by a unique combination of traits when the three
dimensions are combined, allowing the astrologer to make predictions about
fundamental features of the individual as well as deciding which sun signs are
the most compatible in romantic relationships.
Previous
research:
Despite
the scientific community's long-standing criticism of astrology, which usually
labels it a pseudo-science, empirical research exploring its possible validity
are scarce. The difficulty in evaluating the validity of astrology is
inextricably tied to the vagueness of horoscope predictions, making testable
hypotheses difficult to formulate. Indeed, the ambiguity of astrological
predictions is likely to be one of the reasons for its continued popularity
among the general public, because people are more likely to accept vague
descriptions of themselves as accurate if they believe they are the result of a
systematic procedure and were created specifically for them.
Another
feature:
Another
aspect of astrology is self-attribution, which refers to how knowing one's
horoscope effects how one remembers events. More specifically, someone who
reads in their daily horoscope that they will experience some sort of
misfortune is more likely to pay special attention to things that could be
viewed as threatening or harmful, thus positively reinforcing confirmation
bias. Hamilton indicated that the degree of favourability that astrology
provides is a crucial factor of an individual's acceptance of it.
As
previously stated, according to the best astrologer in Kolkata, they expect the index individuals'
distribution to closely resemble that of the marriage market population,
implying that, in the absence of any preferences correlated with zodiac sign,
an individual's probability of marrying someone who, for example, is a Pisces
should be 8.7% (5778/66,063), regardless of the index person's own sign.
