“…Yet, this critical assumption has been ignored by hundreds of single-factor experiments, including a disproportionate number of Sun-sign-only studies (e.g., Dean et. al., 2016;Helgertz & Scott, 2020), and Moon-phase only studies (Marko, 2017), many of which have been done with unrealistic expectations and have led to disappointing results (Houran & Bauer, 2022). The evaluation of emergent effects would seem to entail an additional approach-a multifactor testing or some variation of multiple regression, and these are methods that the research program also explores.…”

Astrology specifies both past action as well as the future prediction which act as the subset of astronomy that have been represented in the Galaxy system. Horoscope chart is an astrological representation which involves the movement of nine planets located in twelve houses with periodic positional movements. Based on the horoscope representation, some of the houses are empty and others might contain one or more planets. Specifically, this research considered the 9thhouse of a horoscope which focuseson individual education and higher studies including research etc.Generally, 4th house signifies the education of the individual person but 9th house is suggested for higher studies and it has been considered for the prosperous and blessed life. Initially, this research involved statistical Analysis of Mercury, 9th place, 9th place planet and 9th place planet from its 9th place (M999) planets which assist to obtain scores of mercury planet and those three 9th place scores. However, the acquired scores from the horoscope of 201 persons have helped to justify manually and provide recommendation but no validation. Therefore, this paper has focused on validating the M999 planets score using ML methods and compared with existing Kala Purusha Thathuva” (KPT).

“…Although scientific tests aimed at verifying the postulates of natal astrology have repeatedly failed [2][3][4][5][6], horoscopes, an astrologer's interpretation of natal charts, are still extremely popular. This holds even after the strongest evidence against natal astrology to date was provided in a double-blind study by Carlson in 1985 [7].…”

Does planets’ position in zodiac constellations drive the occurrence of human wars? A retrospective test of non-natal astrology

The lack of descriptive and predictive effectiveness of natal astrology revealed thus far does not rule out the possibility that the position of planets in specific areas of the background sky influences human behavior regardless of birth date. This study compiled a list of war events that occurred throughout the twentieth century, which were used as proxies for a state of violence in the global human community at particular moments in time. Ecliptic right ascension (RA) values of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the Moon at the beginning day of each war were distributed across 12 sections of the ecliptic of 30º span each. East RA boundary of Aries was set starting at 23° from the vernal equinox in agreement with sidereal astrology. A total of 210 war events were collected for the analysis. The observed and expected war counts when planets were transiting through each zodiacal constellation were statistically similar in all cases (P values from 0.076 to 0.658). In addition, the occurrence of wars when two planets were in conjunction in specific zodiac constellations was in agreement with their expected positions according to regular planetary movement. Independently of astrology beliefs and planetary dynamics, wars showed a weak trend, though significant, towards occurring more frequently later than earlier in a year (slope: 0.78 [95% CI: 0.12, 1.48]; r 2=0.408; P=0.025). In conclusion, even though the study design favored the astrological theses, no relationship between war triggering and the positions of planets transiting through zodiacal constellations was found.
