![]() Sadly, we are the only folk who will accept ‘forensic’ as a legitimate adjective for astrology, ‘astrology’ as a noun that may credibly follow ‘forensic.’ While we know what the study of meaning in the cosmos can achieve, our astrology is generally dismissed as a pseudo-science by Those Who Must Be Obeyed.

The Oxford English Dictionary’s definition of forensic in English is ‘relating to or denoting the application of scientific methods and techniques to the investigation of crime: forensic evidence.’ Wikipedia adds an extra significant phrase.
