I don't read it EVERY SINGLE months.. I've read it once or twice or mabe more, but everytime I've read it, I think it fits me perfectly.

This one day ( Im cancer) And the horoscope told me, that I'd find a friend for life in the the Taurus, and my best friend, she's always been my best, we've known each other for life, she is a Taurus.

Then I told her about this stuff, and she thought she go read her own stuff too :p

Then she read hers, and it said, that if the Taurus and Scorpio were in a relationship, it wouldn't end so well, becouse they would have to deal with a lot of motions.

And guess what, her exboyfriend is a Scorpio, and they didn't last that long, becouse there was so much jealousy and stuff.

I thought it was so cool, I've never acutally 'believed' or lived my life as the horoscope is telling me to do, but that one thing was so cool.

But also, I don't think every single person fits in one of the 12 groups. We're 8 billion people, there must be someone standing out :p

So thats probably why I don't like 'believing' horoscopes.

Side: Yes!! It's so cool!

Side: Yes!! It's so cool!

They are right for literally anyone at any time, and if they aren't, you will ignore them. God, schools need to teach basic psychology.

I read them, out of curiosity to see which vague statements they'll attribute to my future. These "psychics" never tell anything concrete, just useless general info that could possibly happen to everyone.

Side: No, that's crap.....

I often read horoscope but I try to do it when the day is over because you can compare this day with horoscope. However I think that not this things influence on our life and our destiny! It is just interesting and that is all

Absolutely not. Way too compelling objections to believe in the slightest.

Horoscopes - a kind of programming, the mood of his mind on certain events. You start to pay attention to different things and think "it's been written in the horoscope." Therefore, in principle, I do not believe horoscopes.

Side: No, that's crap.....

"If you can show me one example in the history of the world where a single astrologer has been able to prove under reasonable experimental conditions that they can predict future human events by studying the movement of celestial bodies in the sky... I'll give you my piano, one of my legs, and my wife!" - Tim Minchin's "take my wife".

We already know that horoscopes have no actual information content within them. There is so many studies refuting horoscopes and similar woo, I have no idea why people still believe them. For example, there is the widely used technique of cold reading, which you can read more about here: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_reading). Also, there is the study in which a group of people are all given a "reading" and asked to rate its accuracy. People on average rate their reading at 80% accurate. Guess what, they all had the same reading.
