3. Astrology and Numerology: Understanding the Context

Astrology and numerology are ancient practices with rich histories spanning multiple cultures:

We acknowledge the scientific perspective:

• Modern science does not recognize astrology or numerology as empirically valid methods
• No scientific evidence supports the influence of celestial positions on human personality or destiny
