Definition for Astrology
From Biology Forums Dictionary
The study of the influences of the positions of the stars and planets on human affairs and earthly events. In his Confessions, Augustine relates an interesting experiment which serves, at least to his mind, to debunk astrology: two children who were born under practically identical astrological circumstances, but radically differing socio-economic circumstances, are followed to adulthood. Unsurprisingly, the son of the slave becomes a slave, while the son of the slave owner becomes a slave owner, contrary to what astrology would predict.
