Which institution has scientifically validated astrology?

I don’t know why this topic has been brought up again. What happened was truly unfortunate, and it raised serious questions regarding ethical accountability. In my opinion, the current ethical guidelines for astrologers are insufficient. I have given a lot of thought to what should constitute the professional minimum here in Hungary. It is precisely for this reason—and because of cases like this—that I hope supervision will become mandatory here. I envision a one-year internship for newly qualified astrologers, as well as the use of client logs and data reporting systems similar to those already implemented in healthcare. Eventually, these could provide astrologers with much cleaner data—potentially collected anonymously in a database—than the currently available datasets, which are often of very poor quality. I am actually a bit disheartened, as I had assumed astrology was further advanced internationally, making it easier to establish it as a recognized profession in Hungary—officially acknowledged based on scientific findings. However, precisely because of the incident involving Forrest, I intend to initiate this process on the grounds of mental health risks, rather than on the basis of it being a science...

If we examine the entire set of variances across all possible points, is the observed phenomenon statistically random or truly well-founded? Was the analysis limited to the 9th house or solely to Saturn? I am interested because, as of now, there are no evaluable results—neither mathematical nor statistical. What bothers me is the lack of verification in this line of reasoning. After all, even in this context, there ought to be multiple calculation methods available—at the very least, an equation involving two unknowns

Yes, it would really be good to set this straight, because astrologers inherently possess an attitude of superiority—an attitude that creates ethical room for such behavior. That is precisely why I developed a method that makes ethical abuse impossible. However, this requires changes that many astrologers dislike. To this day, there is no proof linking Einstein’s space-time concepts to planetary cycles. Furthermore, if we consider Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development from a psychological perspective, there is no proof there either. And as long as astrology remains rooted in religion and faith, it will become fixed within the religious realm and ultimately transform into a religion itself—at which point the whole thing becomes meaningless. Synchronicity is equated with religion, and these problematic cases will simply continue to accumulate. Modernizing astrology is inevitable, as is a return to the realm of science; yet, poor practices are hindering this process. I myself encounter significant obstacles. There are no minimum professional standards, the current code of ethics is inadequate, and the various schools of thought lack unification.

Before children learn how to succeed in the world, they should first learn who they are. Self-awareness is the foundation of confidence, purpose, and healthy relationships. Astrology, when approached as a tool for reflection and personal growth and can encourage young people to explore their unique talents , strengths, challenges, and potential. Understanding yourself is the first step toward understanding others.
