Abstract
The last two decades have seen the number of known exoplanets increase from a
small handful to nearly 2000 known exoplanets, thousands more planet
candidates, and several upcoming missions that are expected to further increase
the population of known exoplanets. Beyond the strictly scientific questions
that this has led to regarding planet formation and frequency, this has also
led to broader questions such as the philosophical implications of life
elsewhere in the universe and the future of human civilization and space
exploration. One additional realm that hasn't been adequately considered,
however, is that this large increase in exoplanets would also impact claims
regarding astrology. In this paper we look at the distribution of planets
across the sky and along the Ecliptic, as well as the current and future
implications of this planet distribution.
