Is astrology the inverse idea of the chaos theory?

Question

astrology basically says that the planets' & other celestrial bodies' positions have an effect on your everyday life.

& the layman's terms for the chaos theory (explained via the butterfly effect) is the idea that if a butterfly flaps it's wings on one side of the world, that it will eventually cause a tornado on the other side of the world.

now basicly what i read into that is

astrology: BIG OUTER WORLD OBJECTS HAVE EFFECTS ON SUCH SMALL THINGS IN THIS PLANET

chaos theory: SMALL THINGS IN THIS PLANET, HAVE BIG EFFECTS ON ELSEWHERE ON THE SAME PLANET.

strange, huh?

Answer 1

I see where you're coming from, and there could in principle be a causal link, but unfortunately there's no evidence that astrology actually has any predictive value -- it's just wishful thinking.

Unfortunately it's impossible to predict the future, using astrology, chaos theory or anything else. Whoever could do it would be immensely rich. The nearest we have to it are people like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, but they just use their (un)common sense.

Answer 2

Astrology is bunk.  It is perfectly true that small things, such as the gravitational influence of Jupiter, can have a deciding influence on events, but there is absolutely no way that we can know what that influence is.

Chaos theory tells us the limits of what we can know.  Astrology claims to know the unknowable.

Answer 3

No, it's hsadredlab spelt backwards.

Answer 4

they aren't quite inverses.. but do oppose one another strongly

chaos theory is very butterfly effect and fractalization, the same proportion no matter the scale..

astrology is very fate based, set in stone, will happen abosultism

Answer 5

Science deals with facts whose probabilities are not 100% sure. The butterfly effect is one of these, but in this case the probability of it creating a storm is very small.

Astrology deals with what people believe in. This is 100% without any smaller probability applying.

So its is not so much a matter of relative size of the physical phenomenon as to do with the nature of the concept.
