ИСТИНА

In the modern world, there are concepts effectively applied in practice, but don’t have a scientific basis. The purpose of these concepts is not truth, but certainty. The aim of the report is to show that astrology represents the geometrization of myth. The report presents how the use of geometry and calculations allows astrology to function in the modern predictive paradigm. Formation of paradigm includes: • representation of human life experience in a geometric symmetry form • definition a priori conditions for connecting the experience of life with the point of the celestial sphere (the moment of birth and the transit of the planet) • calculation of a real event for the individual person (mathematical expectation) • creating an image (true or false) of the empirical fact • combination of above-named conditions makes it possible to carry out a mathematical calculation of other points of connection of the past and the present life experience with the points of the celestial sphere and the movement (transit) of the planets • combination of empirical experience and a calculated astronomical event is the basis for the formation of the mathematical expectation of a past or future event (verification condition) • mathematical expectation forms the psychological certainty of individual future. Methodology. The basis of the methodology is the philosophy of psychology of L. Wittgenstein. The problem is considered from the several points of view: • historical: geometrization of the myth • philosophical: geometrization of fact • geometrization of the life experience and the problem of predictions in astrology. Conclusion. The predictive power of astrology is not in the presence of causal links between the movement of the planets and the human life, but in the geometric representation of life events.
