Avoid ambiguous language

[edit]

If there is a clear scientific consensus the phrasing must be clear as well. I changed the phrase "the methods used to make interpretations are generally considered pseudoscientific" to "the methods used to make interpretations are pseudoscientific". The information that there is a consensus is available in the first source to linked after this quote. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.230.175.235 (talk) 18:47, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Needs adjustment for NPOV

[edit]

I second the notion that this article needs some adjustment to achieve neutrality. As I read it, there doesn't seem to by anything in this article that would indicate to the reader that horoscopes are not broadly accepted as scientific. Perhaps a section could be added entitled "criticism?" Jminthorne (talk) 07:40, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm rather insulted that wikipedia even HAS articles on Horoscope and Astrology with even the slightest hint of a serious tone to it. This crap isn't a pseudoscience. It's nonsense.Tgm1024 (talk) 18:50, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Including criticism is fine and appropriate. (Don't use an inflammatory tone, tho'; try to be neutral; vicious rants of "Astrology is f***" are unprofessional and will turn people away from Wikipedia.) Btw, I removed Category:Pseudoscience as redundant (both the article Astrology and Category:Astrology are included in said category). Okay?--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 00:47, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hora

[edit]

Hi,
I'm concerned about this. The source says that "The root word for Greek word Hora is derived from Tamil word Orai." This looks like folk etymology to me - it seems very unlikely that Tamil loanwords would have appeared in ancient Greek, although there is evidence of more recent loanwords travelling in the opposite direction. bobrayner (talk) 19:20, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Greek Hora comes from the Egyptian Horus. 24.51.192.49 (talk) 09:56, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
