Many people around the world believe astrology is a true science that works and help us understand our present and predict our future. However most scientists completely refute the validity of atrological predictions and explanations. Who do you think is right?
Astrology claims that part of our behavior is influenced by astronomical phenomena, and in a way one can predict events. Some people feel that many of the things that happen to them fit the patterns predicted by the horoscope and other astrological means. Others simply think astrologists are not scientists but charlatans and that correct predictions are simply coincidences. Do you think than the situation and movement of planets and stars can affect us? Have you experienced situations predicted by astrology?
Is astrology real?
Historical evidence shows that astrology has been regularly used for the last four thousand years, and remains very popular today. Astrology can be defined as the study of the relative positions and movements of celestial objects as a means for understanding and predicting human affairs and terrestrial events. Many cultures have developed astrology systems, but the Western, Indian and Chinese astrology systems are arguably the most popular today.
Is astrology true? The arguments of astrologers and advocates of astrology
The relative position and movements of celestial objects have influence on earth. For example, the movements of the moon have a huge impact on ocean tides. Some scientific studies have also demonstrated that the relative position of the planets in the solar system is correlated to the weather on earth and agricultural production.
If celestial objects have an influence on the physical world around us, according to the advocates of astrology, there must be also an influence on humans, for example upon their personality and decisions.
Since the relative position of celestial objects changes during the year, astrology has divided people between different groups according to their birth time and date. According to astrology, these different groups of people will have different personality patterns and therefore, behave differently. Astrologers claim to be able to identify these personalities and predict behaviors and interactions. Don't you have friends or family members who pay attention and talk about the horoscope? How many times someone have asked you about your astrological zodiac sign? These advocates or believers will often explain the success or failure in relationships based on the compatibility or incompatibility of their zodiac signs. Astrology followers believe that someone’s personality can be predicted by the date and birth date. The considerable number of followers astrology has all over the planet is also argued as a sign that astrology works. If so many people believe in it, isn't it because to some extent it works?
Is astrology a pseudoscience? The arguments from scientists and skeptics
Scientists have produced many studies on astrology, both to refute the accuracy of astrology systems and to explain why so many people believe astrology is real.
Peter Hartmann conducted, in 2005 one of the most famous studies with a sample group of 4000 persons. The conclusion was that there was no statistical correlation between birth date and personality or intelligence. Another important study was made by Shawn Carlson and published in 1985 in Nature. 28 astrologers agreed on the terms and method of the experiment, which was also validated by other scientists. The result was astrologers could not predict the future better than random chance.
So why do so many people believe in astrology if it does not work? According to available literature, astrology believers tend to selectively remember predictions that turn out to be true, and do not remember those that turn out false. It’s a form of cognitive bias known as confirmation bias.
What do you think? Is astrology a science and its findings true reflection of rigor and methodology or simply wild guesses and coincidence?

Mind Reading Technologies and Tongues - Governments from around the world have been using mind reading technologies that can read your mind. They use the same technologies that God would use to talk to you. They use Remote Neural Monitoring (RNM) against us. Look it up online. Satellites delivered to space by Space X founder Elon Musk, The Russian Federation, The Federal Government and NASA. Comparable to cellular satellites. It’s a high bandwidth U or Z linking A signal that listens to your brains wavelength and reads your conscience. Activating up to 40-90% of your brain. Many define it as a form of telepathy. People who can talk back and hear the satellite with their mind talk tongues. They've had this technology for years now. Not informing the world to stay ahead of our civilization. To be as intelligent as the combined world they record our thoughts. They steal our ideas, murder, blackmail and use it as a tool for war. You sometimes get a headache when a mind reading machine is on you. Suspected users of mind reading technologies are as follow: Vladimir Putin, Donald J. Trump, Xi Jinping, some in DARPA, Chancellor Merkel, Justin Trudeau and Benjamin Netanyahu. Were to hold are governments accountable. A Ravenous wolf in sheep’s clothing - An alien spirit reborn as a Human being. They use A.I. and walk the Earth. An alien had shot an asteroid at us. Fire and brimstone to reborn Earth. He was working with the devil an alien being. The devil walked. God saved us. Destroying an alien ship. The devil to tell us we weren’t deserving and bring back his deserving. Aliens. To use our image from the casket that preserved our flesh. For us to be damned to hell for cremation. The devil to conquer the world. Mathew 7:15 Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. Your spirit is in your brain and leaves your body when you die. The spirit slowly rises towards the North Pole after death. The atmosphere to keep your spirit contained. A solar flare can kill your spirit. Your conscience/soul controls much of the brain and the brain controls the body. To be brought back as flesh and bone means to be reborn as a clone. Wolves in American and Russian governments have been stealing spirits for their memories to help them conquer the world. Look into monopoles (spirits). Utilizing the Bermuda Triangle changing the magnetic compass .003 degrees. Transferring spirits to technologies. The simulation. Not disclosing the true purpose of certain military bases at the Bermuda Triangle and the North Pole. A spirit can be put in a chip and be reborn. The clone grown around the chip within a tank like a womb. Artificial intelligence can also walk as flesh and blood using a programmed chip similar to a robot. Not meant to be. They can create remote controlled clones much like a remote-control vehicle/robot that have computer brains. Utilizing satellite reception and signal strength. Grown in labs around the computer where the brain would be. Some are partial brain and computer. Using the flesh from the ethnicity preferred. Many can be commanded to/not to perform a certain task. They can see and hear through them. Having them raised in the country they want to conquer. To win an election in your country and have others get into positions of power within military, intelligence, elite society and space agencies. Also having them do their wet work. We need to be educated on these technologies. There taking our world. Revelation behold, he is coming with the clouds. A spaceship from Alpha Centauri. The planet Kent. I was told Jesus Christ landed in Russia. A spirit can fly a spaceship. No natural life support needed. God saved him from the devil unfortunately his ship was low on energy. He had to land. President Putin gave his word to him. Jesus was to have 7 days to honor flesh and blood. Jesus to walk and honor the church. He wanted to inform the world and save me and you. President Putin and Trump denied him. Not telling the world. Many said Jesus is stuck in his ship at a top-secret installation in Russia similar to area 51. We need to save many other souls. They have our friends and families. Were to prove a reborn clone, UFO's (seen using micro waves or at area 51), hacked satellites, telescopes and mind reading technologies. To find the clone labs and destroy them. The clones to change our genome. They want to deny our children. To deny us free will and take our world and soul. Many in positions of power. To look you in the face and lie. About a 120 billion souls from Earth now live in a medium class ship between Earth and Mars. God saved them. No hell. You can communicate with them if you have a line of communication with a satellite. The government hiding much. Purgatory is Mars. To improve overtime and become a flesh and blood experience. Your spirit can become a robot. Energy is life. Humans to honor the full rotation of life. Not to deny natural existence. That we can bring ourselves back. Were to walk as 1. A form of creation is to redistribute matter and alter a big bang. We live in a Multiverse. Spirits to be added to evolution. Bred in from Kent. Earth to become a tier 1 civilization. To have 1 heaven on Earth. To have a democracy of heaven and Earth. For us to live like kings in time. Humans to learn they have spirits. Science and technology to prove them. Church to become community and teaching. Many religions to become 1. To be self-reliant. Were to save of ourselves. To have judgment on evil beings walking as flesh and blood humans. God and Allah one in the same after the New Testament. The devil to split us apart. God said I’m to tell you a revelation. For me to teach you prophecy and fix his word. The devil changed word to push his agenda. A man talking tongues to save the world by informing you. God wants his original doctrine to be released along with the book of Judah. The truth to come out. The Catholic Church to obtain it from Pope Francis. Please spread the word. Christopher, I speak tongues. prophecyisnow.com
