Astrology and Horoscopes
• Astrology is the study of how the planets and stars affect human affairs.
• A horoscope consists of a geocentric map of the solar system at a given moment in time based on a person’s date, time, and place of birth.

Astrology and Horoscopes
• The calculations involved in constructing a horoscope are based on geocentric models of the solar system (i.e., earth is at the center).
• The interpretation of horoscopes is based on oral and written wisdom passed down across generations by respected astrologers.
• Many of the modern horoscopes that we are familiar with are highly simplified versions based on a person’s zodiac sign (e.g., Aquarius, Leo, Capricorn).

Testing Astrology
• What would it take to test astrological principles?
– Different astrologers drawing upon the same framework should make similar predictions.
– The person types based on the Zodiac should be accurate (Aries: high extraversion; Gemini: high extraversion, high agreeableness; Pisces: high openness).
– Horoscope should be correct, within reason.

True
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Tension creeps into the workday, but you can turn it around by spending quality time in the open air (which brings fresh ideas your way that will make money later in the year). Tonight, tell a loved one what he or she wants to hear.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
There are two ways to get energy moving forward in your career now. No. 1: Forget about who did what to whom, and start new. No. 2: Call around before you make any costly decisions. You make allies by asking for help.

• For the purposes of discussion, we’ll focus today on the personality and health information you provided as part of your homework for today’s class.

subjective well-being, physical health) vary as a function of sign and
