Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the validity of astrology, stating that anyone who believes in it cannot be considered a rational person. He argues that for any field to be termed a science, it must be based on verifiable and falsifiable principles that yield consistent results under the same conditions, similar to Newton's laws of motion. Astrology, he contends, lacks this demonstrative value and is instead a bundle of unverified beliefs and myths driven by fear and insecurity. While acknowledging it as a profitable industry for storytellers, he emphasizes that it remains a subjective choice rather than a logical or scientific discipline.
