What Science Says about Astrology with Carlos Orsi Skeptical Inquirer Presents | Thursday, April 2   Today, astrology is a multibillion-dollar business, encompassing newspaper and magazine horoscopes, digital apps with millions of subscribers, and a growing number of professionals offering services ranging from financial advice to psychotherapy. Yet its tenets are demonstrably false.   Join us on Thursday, April 2, at 7:00 p.m. ET for a Skeptical Inquirer Presents livestream with science journalist Carlos Orsi. Astrology is the archetypal pseudoscience, and its uncritical acceptance leads to consequences that range from personal tragedy to social discrimination. In his new book, What Science Says about Astrology, Carlos Orsi traces the history of the practice, its tense relationship with the legitimate sciences, and its enduring appeal in the modern world.   - WHERE TO WATCH - Skeptical Inquirer Presents is FREE to watch live on these platforms: If you miss the live presentation, you can watch previous episodes on-demand on the CFI YouTube channel About our Presenter Carlos Orsi is an award-winning Brazilian science journalist with more than thirty years of experience writing about science and pseudoscience.
