Astrological twins , temporary twins ( English astro-twins, time twins ) - in astrology people who have exactly the same astrological charts ( horoscopes ) at the time of their birth. Two people would be considered ideal astrological twins if they were born at exactly the same time in exactly the same place.
Since the 20th century, studies of astrological twins have been undertaken to establish the influence of the moment of birth on similarities in human behavior [1] . The experiment with astrological twins, begun in 1958 by English scientists [2] and continuing to the present, is considered one of the most convincing evidence of the falsity of astrology [3] . Scientists studied more than 2,000 people [4] who were born with an average interval of about 4.8 minutes [5] , and tracked their future fate. According to astrology, such people should be close by profession, by mind, by habits, etc. Observations were made of the state of health, occupation, marital status, intelligence, ability to music, art, sports, mathematics, languages, etc. e. In total, over a hundred parameters were taken into account. No similarities were found between the "temporary twins". They turned out to be just as different from each other as people born at different times under any other constellations [3] [5] .
