Financial astrology (also known as business astrology, economic astrology, and/or astro-economics) is the practice of relating the movements of celestial bodies to events in financial markets. The use of astrology in financial markets is not consistent with standard economic or financial theory, but might be considered heterodox economics.
The practice of financial astrology carries the implicit belief that astrology is valid and influences human behavior. The scientific community considers astrology to be a pseudoscience.
