Other Considerations

There is a strong correlation between Uranus' position in the astrological signs and the history of science, the researchers are more drawn to investigate and publish their discoveries in fields clearly related with the astrological keywords associated with the zodiacal sign of transiting Uranus.

This is a great confirmation of the astrology's influence and it also gives us a better overall understanding of the history of science.
