Glossary term: Astrologia
Description: A astrologia se refere às alegações de que as posições dos objetos celestes no céu preveem eventos futuros na vida de qualquer pessoa. As práticas astrológicas faziam parte da maioria das culturas antigas e ainda estão presentes nas sociedades modernas. No entanto, essas práticas não têm nenhuma base científica: não há nenhum agente causal viável, as previsões não podem ser rigorosamente testadas e as interpretações são afetadas pelo viés de confirmação.
