Résumé
This mini book, part of the ESSENCE series from Five Minutes, offers a rigorous exploration of astrological beliefs and real celestial influences. Drawing on more than twenty recent studies (2024-2025), the author dismantles the notion that zodiac signs dictate our personality or future. Controlled tests show that astrologers perform no better than chance, and large surveys reveal no link between astrological signs and well being.
Moving beyond critique, the book also presents genuine astronomical phenomena. It describes the modest effects of solar storms on cardiovascular health, the subtle rhythms of lunar cycles on sleep and menstrual cycles, and the decisive importance of sunlight in synchronising the body clock and regulating mood. One section explores cognitive biases - the Barnum effect and confirmation bias - that feed the popularity of astrology and highlights the influence of education on scepticism.
Clear and engaging, this mini book invites readers to trade horoscopes for scientific curiosity. By showing that the stars inspire but do not dictate our destiny, it encourages a critical mindset and reminds us that sunlight, not astrology, is our best ally for well being.
