Scientific Criticism of Vedic Astrology

This brief thesis examines eastern vedic astrology by comparing its claims with modern scientific evidence. The study reviews the historical background of the tradition and uses basic mathematical calculations to evaluate if the forces attributed to planets can influence human life. The analysis demonstrates that the gravitational, magnetic, and light effects from these celestial bodies are extremely weak. The work concludes that vedic astrology holds cultural importance but its predictions do not meet scientific standards.
