Glossary term: Astrología
Description: La astrología se refiere a las afirmaciones de que las posiciones de los objetos celestes en el cielo predicen acontecimientos futuros en la vida de cualquier persona. Las prácticas astrológicas formaban parte de la mayoría de las culturas antiguas y siguen presentes en las sociedades modernas. Sin embargo, estas prácticas no tienen ninguna base científica: no existe una fuente causal factible, las predicciones no pueden comprobarse rigurosamente y las interpretaciones se ven afectadas por el sesgo de confirmación.
