Acharya Prashant asserts that astrology cannot be classified as a science because it lacks the fundamental prerequisites of verifiability and falsifiability. He explains that science is based on experiments that yield consistent results under the same conditions, such as Newton's laws of motion. In contrast, astrology consists of a set of unverified beliefs and narratives that cannot be demonstrated or proven through rigorous testing. He describes astrology as a story driven by fear and insecurity rather than logic or rationality. While acknowledging that individuals are free to hold subjective beliefs and that the astrology industry is highly profitable, he emphasizes that these narratives should not be termed scientific. Ultimately, he views astrology as a bundle of postulates that are not available for verification, making it a myth rather than a logical discipline.
