Scientific astrology, also known as astrological science or astrological astronomy, refers to the application of scientific principles and methods to the study of astrology. It aims to bridge the gap between traditional astrological beliefs and scientific rigor by using empirical evidence, statistical analysis, and a critical approach.

In traditional astrology, practitioners believe that celestial bodies, such as planets and stars, have an influence on human affairs and can provide insights into various aspects of life, including personality traits, relationships, and future events.

Scientific astrology seeks to examine these claims and evaluate their validity using scientific methodologies.

Proponents of scientific astrology often emphasize the need for empirical data, rigorous statistical analysis, and controlled experiments to test astrological hypotheses. They aim to identify correlations between celestial events and human experiences by collecting data and analyzing it in a scientific manner.
