Revealing the Scientific Framework of Astrology’s Hidden Models
The crucial challenge remains: Our predecessors built an astonishingly complex system—from Bhava (house) to Shadbala (six-fold strength)—with countless unique variables. They aimed to solve a difficult puzzle. However, where is the modern, rigorous statistical framework that confirms the importance of these variables? In statistics, we can quantify which factor explains78% of the result and which explains 3%. In astrology, we rely on tradition. We must acknowledge that for all the elegance of its many factors and rules, the astrological framework currently lacks the data-driven validation that defines the boundaries and optimal application of its rules. This step—of using data to prove and refine the rules—is our fundamental duty today.
