Parashar21 is built around the concept that the focus of astrology should be on establishing correlations between celestial events -- as represented by patterns in a horoscope -- and events in the personal life of individuals. Attempts to explain how and why astronomical bodies affect -- or cause -- life events are unnecessary and irrelevent to the study of astrology. This is explained further in this post, Astrology : Correlation, not Causality in the ThoughtShoppe blog.
Correlation is a phenomenon that can be analysed by statistical techniques like testing of hypotheses. If astrological hypotheses on the correlation between specific celestial and personal events are to be accepted then these hypotheses must be accepted only after the meet minimum levels of confidence and significance. This paper on the Statistical Testing of Hypotheses in Astrology describes a framework that can be used to conduct such tests.
