      Would like to know your opinion on some principles of astrology
      1) Saturn and Jupiter take 2.5 and 1 year to transverse one rashi and there are 12 rashis multiply both we get 30 years and 12 years to complete one cycle suggesting Saturn and Jupiter take that many years to complete one cycle around sun
      2)Rashis are assigned some elements like Saturn has rashis associated with gas and earth, Suggesting gaseous atmosphere with a earth (solid) core

      Vedic Astrology is not meant to do Predictive wisdom.
      Vedic Astrology itself says you should not do prediction.
      Prediction is not at all Goal.
      Astrology is used in Diagnostic and study of behavior and characteristics of a person.
      Whereas you are thinking it is Predictive Science.
      Astrology is to do more of inference and interpretation not to do conclusions.
      I'm most fond of science, but I think you have read only Science books and
      engrossed only within logical science not multidimensional thinking.

    While I never trust nor like astrology, I often used to lean towards it earlier. But the nail in the coffin came when I had applied for universities for masters and I got back to back rejects and had lost hopes. Then our neighbors came to us. He is an astrologer. He said stars are not with me and I won't be able to do master's yet. It not only pissed me off but given the state I was in, it completely broke me. Cannot forget how pissed I was at my parents for calling him. Fortunately one university accepted me and now I have completed my master's degree. That day onwards, whenever someone speaks about astrology to me, I shut him up. Had I believed in that shit, I would have never grown to be what I am today.

    I was in relationship with my girlfriend for 3years. Parents checked with 6 different astrologers and all of them predicted that I would die within 3-6 months of marriage. Also, I would lose wealth.
    Back then I used to be a believer and I too was scared. I started to learn more about my religion and at some point I felt it was illogical and cringe. I started my journey as an atheist. 15 months after marriage, our net worth grew and I'm still alive 🥂
    P.s. I didn't do any remedies the astrologer asked to do.

    To a believer, any attack on Astrology doesn't make sense because their personal astrologer is supposed to surpass all boundaries of common sense itself. If you finally debunk a particular Astrologer as well, then they'll just find another one. But anyways, astrology was a topic I had been waiting for, and this is the best video debunking it from an Indian perspective. I addition to all that you said, you could've added the fact that the position of stars in the night sky also changes very slowly over time which means that Astrology can never be a universal law. Lastly, I really get a lot of Vsauce vibes from this channel and you're doing a great job, just keep making quality content that you enjoy yourself.

    great work on the research! only one recommendation, avoid calling people 'dumb' who fall for pseudo-science. They are driven by fear, so we need to alleviate that fear with a better alternative. Caaling them dumb or stupid would just shut them out completely, hence making no difference in their belief system.

    • @kumarikamohanty
      @kumarikamohanty 2 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      True. Good research indeed but calling people dumb here, is a bit insensitive. Humans in distress like to cling on to hope thru prayers and positive predictions. An IISc scientist from my family recovered from a chronic illness, while I believe it was medical science... His mother believes it was due to blessings of Amma Bhagwan (a couple in South); my relative spends insane amount of money on Amma Bhagwan, which onlookers find stupid, but for him it is the least he can do to keep his mother happy (his mother had donated her kidney to him).
      So there are many such factors that have kept the astrology industry thrive.

      Astrology and horoscope have become shit because of too much traffic around them, everyone who can look like an astrologer is predicting future. But this doesn't mean that astrology is wrong or the pre-marriage compatibility calculations are wrong. Earlier people used to match a lot of things to negate any possibility of same blood marriage. But, I don't have any information about Mangal dosh as of now to prove it's legitimacy.

To change your bad horoscope all you gotta need to do is do good karma and meditate. Cause meditation helps you to control your reactions to emotions so bad planets cannot harm you.

    Nice Video. I can illustrate another example of how flawed vedic astrology is. Vedic Astrology goes by Date of Birth, Place of Birth and Time of Birth and the horoscope changes drastically for every 15 minutes. I tested it with an astro software. So if you take the case of twins, who are born with a few seconds, minutes difference, accordingly they should have similar lives or at least similar timelines but we know that twins don't have similar lives or similar timelines. Vedic Astrology goes by a lot of general predictions, like Mars in 7th house is cursed for matrimony; when it coincides, you feel it's right. Therefore creating some kind of illusion in your mind to corroborate. I think all of us need to be extremely careful with this destiny changing business, it's dangerous and psychologically damaging. Best way to predict the future is to invent it :)

    I had a discussion with my friends who are all my batchmate doctors, on astrology. Most of them were surprised by me calling Astrology pseudoscience. I just put 3 questions in front of them.
    1. Why are navgrahas given so much importance in astrology.
    2. What is the nature of this energy that connects planets to human bodies and has such a massive impact on our lives.
    3. What should be considered the time of birth in case of C-sections, which are manipulable. Why is the time of conception and formation of zygote not considered for astronomy.
    4. I asked them to show me any prediction that went right.
    No satisfactory answer from any of them and i was kind of dismissed for my grilling of the supposed ancient wisdom.

    Back in 1991 , some days before Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated , a lot of famous astrologers were invited by the magazine "The Illustrated weekly of India" to make their predictions about his future, and without exception ALL of them predicted that he was going to become India's next prime minister. Several of them even said that Rajiv had a "raj yog" and so would remain the prime minister of India for a long time to come. None of them predicted his assassination or even a threat to his life. A few days later , Rajiv was dead and after some time had passed , some of them started to claim that they had seen a threat to his life and had warned about it. If someone can access the archives of May 1991 editions of the illulstrated weekly of India they can verify the same. I have personally read it and the magazine's then editor Kushwant Singh had pointed it out as well.

    How Astrology works? Consider the following points:
    1. The revolving planets and planetary alignments orchestrates Solar activity where the weak tidal forces of the planets is amplified by Sun’s magnetic field. Resonance is said to play a role here.
    2. As a result, there is a formation of sun spots on the surface of sun, because of Solar activity induced by the planets there is a variation or fluctuations in Geomagnetic field which is known to influence a wide variety of organisms.
    3. The Geomagnetism is linked to the solar activity, the fluctuations in solar activity causes change in Geomagnetic field variations.
    4.Magneto-reception is an ability of an organism to be able to detect Geomagnetic field and able to navigate with the help of geomagnetic field. Organisms are able to detect Geomagnetic field due to magnetic particles present in brains and birds are able to navigate due to cryptochromes present in their eyes which helps in detecting light.
    5. Scientists have discovered traces of magnetic particles in human brain particularly in Brain stem,Cerebellum and Cerebrum. Cerebellum is responsible for motor coordination, balance and equilibrium, fine body movements.
    6. A study says that Geomagnetic field conditions plays a major role in development of foetus, thus Geomagnetic conditions are responsible for sustaining of life on earth.
    American Radio Engineer and amateur Astronomer John Henry Nelson discovered that revolving planets and planetary alignments orchestrate Solar activity and thereby affecting the propagation of Radio waves which caused distortion in Radio communication.
    The discovery of Radio Engineer John Nelson seemed to suggest that alignments of planets with
    respect to the Sun also had an effect upon Earth. These angles also seem to coincide with Astrological aspects:
    Opposition- 180 degrees
    Quincunx- 150 degrees
    Trine- 120 degrees
    Square- 90 degrees
    Sextile- 60 degrees
    Semi-sextile- 30 degrees
    In traditional Astrology, the opposition, square and trine aspects are said to be powerful and
    other aspects are said to be less powerful.
    Astrologers took keen interest in his discovery.
    British Astrophysicist and Astronomer Dr. Percy Seymour has written 2 books on Astrology.

    @easytutorials6412 4 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    Some nice points made, but! I gotta disagree here. You know, I was just an atheist/agnostic/skeptical like you and then I got introduced to astrology. Instead of listening to what the science and logic has to say about it I decided to jump into it, learn about it, and try to see if it can predict anything about myself. Remember, all the logic, all the proof are nothing against practical experiment and results. If it's working, it is working, the Universe is not compelled to make sense to you. And no points for guessing, it actually worked for me. After learning to read the chart properly I found out that it can actually predict many things about my personality. And NO! They were not barnum statements, I know cause I was aware of them before I dove into astrology. I hope you will agree that "You will be a good singer" "You will be an atheist/skeptic" are not barnum statements. Now, you must be thinking that oh, he doesnt seem to be an atheist. Well, astrology predicted that as well, my kundali said that I will change my opinions about God/Spiritualism frequently. Which I do....
    Also, predicting the future is very hard and only expert astrologers can do it. If doctors fail to save a patient do you say that oh! the medical science doesnt work! NO! You don't say that you say that maybe doctor wasnt good enough or the case was very hard. In the same manner, sometimes astrologers do make wrong predictions but they are not always wrong. For example, when I started digging into astrology my mom told me that once she went to an astrologer and the first thing he said after looking at my dad's kundali was - "DID U BUY ANY PROPERTY IN 2004?" I was shocked because it did actually happen.... She also told me that he predicted a child's death correctly (gave the exact date). Please consider these points and tell me what do you think...
    Trust me, I want astrology to be proven wrong more than anyone else in this world, because it challenges my atheism. But it just keeps on proving that it has got some substance...
    EDIT: I also, asked one of my friend to give me his dob, time, and place (remember time of birth is very important) and I tried to predict something about him from my limited knowledge of astrology. The first thing I said about him was "You don't have good relations with your dad" (funny thing is I was afraid of getting ridiculed coz I always thought that he had good relations with his father) but to my surprise he agreed and said you are right me and my dad always fight, argue about something and our view points dont match....

    • @scienceisdope
      @scienceisdope  4 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      Thanks man for the comment :) I love to be a part of civil disagreements like this because it promotes discourse. And hearing contrasting points of view helps you not fall prey to confirmation bias.
      My rebuttal: I would say predictions like "you will be a good singer" or "you'll keep changing your opinions about God" are too general and apply to too many people. For instance, the latter applies to me because there was a period when I kept shuttling back and forth on my position on God. The same goes for "you don't have good relations with your dad". It's way too general. Don't most people our generation have disagreements/fights with parents?
      The predictions you mentioned about buying property in 2004 and predicting the date of someone's death sound like very specific predictions. Even I've heard several predictions like these(and miracles in alternative medicine). But they're always second hand. Just like how you mentioned that it was your mother that told you this. There are many small details that are lost when information transfers hands. So I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that astrology works just because of this.

      about the points that you have made, trust me i have taken care of all these logical fallacies that a common man commits, as i said i was an atheist and i have ridiculed astrologers in the past, it even cost me friendship with some people. So you can understand what kind of atheist i was. But just because I like science and logic, I can't deny the truth that is in front of me, no matter how unscientific it sounds.
      Also, about my mom, she is a skeptic herself she doesnt worship any god or believe in any kind of ancient rituals and shit. so i can believe in the info i got from her.

      @@easytutorials6412 Hello Rahul. I hope you are doing well. Brother I would disagree with your point of view because of few reasons. You started by saying that instead of listening towhat science and logic had to say you jumped into it and so on. Bro, if you have already discarded logic then wouldn't that expose you to being a victim of confirmation bias? You will not be able to evaluate things properly. More or less that's how even faith in religion works, i.e. without logic. And please once again remember correlation does not imply causation.
      Now, if I make a random prediction of someone's death tomorrow and if it comes true, would I be accurate all the time? And will that mean that my prediction had a logical reasoning behind it? Well, my answer is no.
      And one more important thing to consider is that no one has explained is that how does planets and stars affect us. They fail to give the reason behind it, all they do is give statements like it will have positive or negative impact on us. And the most surprising thing is that those effects can be changed after a small Pooja or ceremony (and some cash and clothes for Pandits).
      Now allow me to make 2 statements. 1) I have constant disagreements with my wife all the time and we argue a lot. 2)I love my wife a lot and is willing to anything and everything for her. Now they may sound contradictory. But both are 100% accurate. First statement is true for me and it could also be true for person going through a divorce.
      I hope I have explained my point. I don't expect you to agree with it though. Regardless, have a wonderful day.

    Time of birth and place of birth matter in Indian astrology. It is a calculation.
    I was very skeptical about Indian astrology. Then I discovered, from personal experience, that it is the astrologer that matters. Most Indian astrologers are accurate at telling your exact past. But Most are vague about predicting the exact future, which I agree is impossible.
    My personal experience is that most astrologers are either fake or not knowledgeable. There are a couple of them (random visits to an unknown astrologers, not planned) that astounded me with not just my personal characteristics, but were accurate about my profession, what my parents do for a living, my interests, number of siblings I have etc.
    I totally agree that people get fooled by astrologers, but I feel that predicting something or reading a horoscope accurately is a gift, acquired only by a select few. True astrologers don't show off and are to the point.
    Astrology is mysterious and secretive.

      _"True astrologers don't show off and are to the point. "_
      Astrologers could rake in a hundreds of thousands or a million dollars by demonstrating in skeptics challenges that astrology works. If they don't want the money, they could donate it to children hospitals or the likes. But this is also not worth it it seems. They either don't want to demonstrate their skills in a controlled setting, or they try it and fail. Why is that? Nobody can explain in detail how astrology could work, nobody can provide good evidence that it works.

      Some people are good at reading people. There are literal face readers who's job it is to do this. I think it's a tremendous skill but to attribute it to the constellations would be a collosal claim that requires an equally convincing proof. We claim things to be "mysterious" when we don't know much about it, and perhaps much isn't known bcz there isn't much to be known and this is all yet another desparate attempt of humans to find tools to solve our problems and we're filling the logical gaps with our imaginations. I think we do this as a survival instinct, it's not possible to know everything so we make up stories to make the fear of the unknown palatable.

      I know this reply is a bit late but predicting someone's past can be done with certain accuracy. The way a person walks, talks, behaves and what he talks about can reveal a lot about his past to a sharp and cunning mind. Whatever these astrologers determine about someone's can always be traced back to information they gathered from you. For example, if you attempted suicide long ago but now you're talking happily to an astrologer, he won't conclude that you attempted that suicide.

      Now as Ayurveda is a quite old concept, it is bound to have some things that work and others that don't. It has some geniune lifestyle advices which can help you, but as it's basic premise is wrong, it would be very hard to identify good advices.

    Ok this video has so many factual and conceptual errors.
    1. Birth Rashi is not the transit of Sun, it is the transit of Moon in Vedic astrology.
    2. Vedic astrologers do take procession of equinoxes into account. It is called Aynamsha. There's a controversy as to what is the exact value of Aynamsha. But overall they agree withan approx value.
    3. The claim that India took zodics from Western astrology is not a settled debate. There are out of India theories where it is conjectured that zodiac was taken from India by the Westerners. Or may be there is a third source. This is because the theory that Zodiacs came to India during Alexander(approx 350BC) is inconsistent with mention of Zodiacs in Hindu epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata which are dated atleast before 500BC. But various dates from 700 to 1800 BC are proposed, by Western historians themselves. So this proves that Indians were aware of Zodiacs before the arrival of Alexander.
    4. There are only 12 zodiacs along the ecliptic. Not any more. The number twelve is not a random number picked.
    There are 27 Nakshatras because moon takes approx 27 days to revolve once. It stays in one Nakshatra for one day approx. There are 30 days in Month because that's the frequency at which Full Moon occurs. There are 12 months because there are approx 12 full moons in one year. So the idea is a zodiac is unit where the Sun stays for one month. Its backward working. Once in a while for error correction we have Adhika Masa, something like leap year, that's when we have 13 months. But on a regular year there are 12 months. So 12 zodiacs are arrived from this, as far as I know.
    5. Moreover the idea that correlation is not causation, is half true.
    Undisputed correlation means the two incidents are in the same family of causal links.
    Disputed correlation is not causation.
    Undisputed bijunctive correlation is causation.
    6. "Indian astrologers don't give an explaination as to how planets influence you" This is not completely true as they do give a supernatural explaination, which ofcourse you would not agree with. But they do make an attempt to explain how it all works. The claim that they don't give any explanation regarding the mechanism of Astrology is technically wrong.
