In an intriguing twist, it appears that astrology and data signs share more than just a passing resemblance. Both disciplines seek patterns and make predictions based on large sets of data.

This connection to contemporary data science has roots in the ancient practice of astrology, a fact that predates the development of modern data science. Alexander Boxer, a renowned data scientist, even refers to astrology as humanity's first set of algorithms.

Boxer's argument is presented in his book, 'A Scheme of Heaven: The History of Astrology and the Search for Our Destiny in Data'. In this book, he explores the long-standing belief in a hidden code in the tree of life or the movement of stars.

Despite questions about its validity, astrology continues to be a topic of interest. It's interesting to note that astrology's predictive methods, while not scientifically validated, have been used for centuries to make predictions about human behaviour and events.

For some, astrology is an ancient science that they still check for fun. The practice, with its focus on patterns and predictions, underscores the human tendency to seek meaning and make predictions based on large sets of data.

Whether you're a believer or sceptic, the similarities between astrology and data science serve as a fascinating reminder of the human desire to make sense of the world around us.
