The title pretty much explains itself. I am no skeptic, I'm just wondering if there is any way for us to look at astrology and explain it scientifically. Just why does astrology work, and how can it influence our lives, individually and collectively? Also are there any books on this particular topic that I can read on?
The scientific method can be applied to astrological claims so in that way astrology can be viewed from a scientific point of view. But as far as a "theory on astrological phenomena" there has not been a generally agreed upon conclusion and your guess (or educated guess) would be as good as any. Theories ranging from the linguistic, naturalistic, quantum, occult and psychological have all been proposed and I am sure that the proponents of each have strong reasons why their conception is the best. Yet, the debates rage on.
