  Three making astrologies

   The astrology is on a joint of three sciences: astrobiology, astronomy and actually the interpretation art which is closely adjoining on psychology.

  Astrobiology

   The astrobiology brings scientific basis under an astrology, indicates a statistical causal relationship between events in space and terrestrial life. In more detail this communication is considered on the previous page.

  Astronomy

   The astrology is called often soul of astronomy. Within several centuries the astronomy was "servant" of an astrology, however, astronomers with interest recouped on astrologers, calling them pseudo-scientists up to the 70th years of the XX century when there were early studies of influence of space forces on biological organisms.
   Basis of all astrology is use of ephemerises, astronomically calculated provisions of celestial bodies. By means of data which are developed by astronomers astrologers make horoscopes, count the culminations of astrological houses, note provisions of planets and define their aspects (degree distances between planets and other points of a horoscope). Thereby the horoscope can be estimated as scientific as bases, necessary for his construction, belong to laws of natural sciences. But the horoscope calculated by astronomical methods is not astrology yet! And here the third component of art of astrology - interpretation art enters game.

  Interpretation art

   The main component of astrology is an art of interpretation. It has purely humanitarian character and is closest to history and psychology. Art of interpretation depends, first of all, on diligence of the astrologer, his life experience, practice, studying of horoscopes of historic figures, partially - at most his imagination, synthetic mentality and educational level. The good astrologer has to possess knowledge not only of astrology, but also of medicine, and, especially, in psychology.
   It is impossible to call astrological art of interpretation science as many rules of interpretation often contradict each other and aren't always accurately formulated. Today it is known a few astrological works containing statistically processed data. It is caused, first of all, by separation of astrologers: everyone interprets, proceeding from own experience. Attempts to generalize the materials acquired by different astrologers and astrological schools are undertaken extremely seldom. Each beginning astrologer faces a problem when in one book this aspect is interpreted in one image, and in other book opposite interpretation is given! All this doesn't add astrology points as to science, allowing opponents to call it a pseudo science once again.
