Skeptical about astrology? Skepticism can be a healthy thing. It counters gullibility and keeps garbage from accumulating in the mind. But a true skeptic should always be prepared to investigate a subject thoroughly before reaching a conclusion. As I point out in the Astrology for Skeptics section, this has not been done. Errors abound, even in extensive academic studies. Most of the arguments against astrology seem to give reasons why it should not be examined at all. I call this the “Lazy Student Syndrome”. As anyone who has tried to teach can testify, some students devote a good deal of their course time giving the instructor arguments as to why they should not be required to learn the course material at all. As I never tired pointing out to them, if they spent as much time studying the subject, they would all probably pass with flying colors. Many of the arguments I’ve heard against astrology seem to fall into this category. “Oh, we already KNOW astrology doesn’t work, so why bother putting it to the test?” Because they Don’t know that astrology doesn’t work. They don’t know what astrology is, what it claims to do, or how to do a horoscope. That hasn’t stopped some scientists from conducting “tests”. Unfortunately for them, what they tested was not astrology. One of the main purposes of this site is to remedy this situation.
Skeptics may still believe astrology to be false after studying the lessons and doing the exercises, but at least they can say “been there, done that”.
