Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the validity of astrology and the fundamental distinction between science and spirituality. He asserts that astrology cannot be considered a rational or scientific field because it lacks verifiable and falsifiable principles. He explains that for any discipline to be termed a science, it must demonstrate consistent results under the same conditions, much like Newton's laws of motion. Since astrology relies on unverified beliefs and narratives rather than demonstrative experiments, he classifies it as a myth or a collection of stories that often profit from human insecurity and fear.
