do you think that they're true to some extent? when you read them (if you do) are things true, do they hit you really hard?

i dont know sometimes when i read my horoscope its like wow, thats true. or some things, i dont want to believe, (particularly when its a bad thing).

just wanted to know what you guys thought about it.
not sure if it's too much of a debate, but it involves you 2 cents

whatever that flows with people, it's fine with them.

horoscopes had no proof.

i wonder how they come up with it, too. since they really dont have any proof..

maybe it's like in Harry Potter, when Harry and Ron just make up a bunch of horrible situations in Divination class. haha.

anyway, personally i don't believe in horoscopes, because they're usually inacurate for me.

most of the time, those horoscopes aren't very accurate. every once in a while they're correct about something, but it's probably just a coincidence. i find it interesting to read them, but most of the time i don't plan on it really happening.

Only to a certain extent. Most of them are pretty much the same, just tweaked a bit... everyone has one side, but can flip to something totally different if something upsets you.

That doesn't make much sense, but then again it's 1:32 AM and I'm pooped.

yeah i agree. they're interesting to read.

yeah true i just wonder who writes them and makes that stuff up (or whatever) tarot cards seem pretty wack too. haha

no its dumb luck they get somethings right

I saw a documentary on stuff like this. They said that all horoscopes describe people in a certain way. Let's take this friendship horoscope of the star sign "Leo"



Firstly, iVillage is "the website of women". And at least from what I've noticed, women who try to look up their "friendship horoscope" in the first place must be pretty self-absorbed. So, of course they're happiest when they're with other people. And of course they're happy if they're the centre of attention. So any woman could fit this description.



Anyone reading this will say, "Oh, that's me" because that's what they want to think. You can easily interpret the words in your own way and never cease to amaze yourself. If you think positively of yourself (you pretty much have to to believe in friendship horoscopes), you'll agree with this paragraph.



What kind of person is going to call themselves "discriminate" and "not generous". So .. I think you get the point.

Horoscopres are to vague. Like today you will do something or this person will interact with this person. Might as well just get a fortune cookie everyday at some random chinese restraunt.

WERD

No, I don't.

Anyone literate can be a horoscope writer. You can write something really generalized and vague so it seems so believable.

I don't read those things anymore.
The things they say would happen never happen.

That's the whole point. They're vague so people who read and believe in them interpret them in their own way making them "real."

YES OMGOSH!
I read them twice a day, in the morning and at night to see if it was accurate and most of the time they are.

precisely. it is easy to look at one's horoscope and find that it does suit waht is going on in your lives.

i do have to admit, my fellow taurus friend got m into them, and it is frightening the extent to which i find myself thinking 'jus tlike the stars said'. but it's tounge in cheek, and deep down, no i dont believe they have any huge truth behind them, but rather as jose said, can me applied to any one.

It is something to read but usually inaccurate. So I find it kind of pointless.

I don't believe in horoscopes and I do not base my life around them but when I am reading a magazine or the newspaper sometimes you come across them and you can't help but to read your month and most of the time there to do with love or like finacial problems and like I am only a teendager and I don't evan deal with that stuff yet so like I don't belive in them

i use horoscopes for amusement.

a lot of the "wow that's so true!" is based on a person's perception.
many people bend the meaning of the horoscope to match real life.
