Using theoretical models to discover unknown planets reinforced Newton’s theory of universal gravitation and proved its usability. Had astronomers not found the planets, the theory would have been in doubt, or even falsified and replaced by another theory that could explain the previously observed orbits as well as the discrepancies.
Meanwhile, astrologers were enthusiastic about these discoveries, which increased the range of heavenly influences they could explain. They have endeavored to associate the discovery of each of the planets with events characteristic of its power and influence. The discovery of Uranus, associated with human rights, rebellion and progress, is related to the American and the French revolutions of 1778 and 1789 respectively. The discovery of Neptune, the planet linked to both cults and the occult, was closely followed by the emergence of a Chinese clerk, Hung Hsiu-Ch'üan, who decided that he was the son of God, and in 1847 attempted to conquer China and establish his own dynasty. It is believed that more then 20 Million people were killed during his Taiping Rebellion The discovery of Pluto, which rules atomic energy, is associated with Cockcroft and Walton splitting the atom in 1932.
Astrologers forecast; yet there are no known records of astrologers foretelling the discovery of the new planets. No mismatches between astrological observation and earthly events had ever been attributed to unknown heavenly bodies, nor is there any evidence whether adjusting the charts for the new planets has improved the accuracy of astrological predictions. Whatever the reason for the planets’ orbital mismatch might have proved to be, astrology would have remained unchallenged, irrefutable, and therefore, by definition, unscientific.
to be honest with you i don't like prediction, i believe that the future is not always set. we have free will, therefore there are many factors which affect findings.
my fleeting interest in astrology comes from the fact you cannot fault a full astrology plan, done by a professional. which gives all your characteristics good and bad depending on the exact time, date/where, which house the planets were in relation to each other. then again a person should actually know themselves so why have it done! it is interesting astrology but my opinion on whether it can accurately predict findings as mentioned above i'm abit sceptical to be honest. It is scarey what people will do when they only have half of a story and what terrible things can happen.
I'd rather deal with the here and now rather than worry about future happenings.
