Astrology was a science long before the western Enlightenment, which is irrelevant to its unique contributions to human knowledge - as a language of archetypes.

Have the workings of entanglement been explained?

The only thing scientific about astrology, even generously speaking in historical context, is the observations and measurements of what would now fall under astronomy.

Astrology in the context of personality traits or "archetypes", as you put it, has never been a science and has always been a pseudoscience.

Smarter minds than me understand the workings of quantum entanglement about as well as they understand the workings of gravity. There are plenty of things we don't know.

What do you know about the scientific research of astrology? It sounds like nothing, to me.

So you relegate all study of personality traits (which are different than archetypes) to the pseudoscience bin?

>> .. as well as they understand the workings of gravity...

So pretty much not at all then. This was my original point.

That’s called “psychology”. The real science even has that nice little observation that which side of the school admission year you’re born on is basically the only thing about when you’re born that makes any significant difference.
