Astrology researchOver hundreds of years, research into the subject of astrology has occupied the minds of believers and nonbelievers alike. An example is the Research Group for the Critical Study of Astronomy. This United Kingdom based group is independent of government controls. Its mission is to monitor the standards set up for experiments to ensure sound scientific methods and empirical studies. A secondary mission is to encourage and enable astrology studies within the boundaries of cultural studies, sociology, statistics and psychology and to provide the basis for collaboration internationally on astrology research. While the goals and mission of the group are admirable, much research is being done outside of their purview. With the tremendous wealth of material available on the internet, and through software database programs, this is an exciting time to be involved in astrology research. The American Federation of Astrologers is a similar group in the United States. Not only are they looking at culture, sociology, statistics and psychology as a basis for scientific astrology research, they are actively involved in the study of ancient texts referring to the subject of astrology. The AFA also believes in making its extensive database available to members of the organization as well as lay-persons in the field. Persons with an interest in history, archaeology, psychology, statistics, anthropology, sociology, cultural studies all have ties to the field of astrology. Astrological research can thus take many forms. Some of the more common themes for researchers have been: History - Ancient texts and manuscripts have been located in libraries and repositories through the world. These texts are translated, studied, sometimes annotated, and used in popular writings to describe the history of the field. Statistical - Statistical data is collected, recorded, massaged, categorized, and summarized, then made available as database information to researchers who can use the information to support or debunk a cherished theory. Sociological - The study of societies in the sense of their birth, characteristics, history and possible demise flow in the same way that a natal chart can be prepared for an individual and can be researched by use of the tremendous wealth of information available. Health - Much research is being accomplished currently in comparing physiological characteristics and traits with astrological signs. Questions such as: "Is there a correlation between astrological information and Alzheimer's?"- if answered empirically with a "yes", might be yet another method of treating previously untreatable conditions. Much software is available currently through most of the astrological websites to assist in the field of astrology research. Caution needs to be taken to ensure a quality source of information for the research, else the conclusions may be subject to dismissal or even ridicule.
