Topic:Pseudo-Astronomy – Debunking the Celestial Myths
Introduction:Ever wonder how Mercury in Capricorn in conjunction with Pluto might affect your love life, career or daily adventures? The positions of the planets with respect to the zodiacal constellations appears, for millions of people, to play a role in their daily rituals. Whether it is out of habit, curiosity or true belief, people check their horoscopes in hopes of gaining some insight into their personal lives. However, the principle on which astrology is based has no scientific merit. In this show, we’ll debunk astrology along with other astronomical myths such as the “predicted” 2012 Armageddon.
