do you believe in Astrology

In the Huberman Lab discussions, beliefs around astrology are approached with a critical perspective. For instance, Dr. Brian Keating explains that astrology lacks scientific validity. He references the discrepancies in zodiac signs and actual constellations, specifically mentioning that the positions and movements of celestial bodies do not support astrological claims. According to Dr. Keating, astrology fails the scientific criterion of falsifiability, meaning that its predictions cannot be tested or proven wrong, which is fundamental to scientific inquiry. He humorously illustrates this by recounting a personal experience where an astrologer provided predictions based on incorrect astrological information: “I just want to confirm Gemini is born in September... that's a Virgo” 1.

Overall, the consensus in the podcast emphasizes a skepticism towards astrology as a science, pointing out its flexibility and lack of predictive power 1.
