Do you believe in Horoscopes? You can look at your Horoscope here. Just find the picture with your birth date (on the right) and click it. Then it tells you your horoscope.
Penny: I'm a Sagittarius, which probably tells you way more than you need to know... Sheldon:Yes... it tells us that you participate in the mass cultural delusion that the sun's apparent position relative to arbitrarily defined constellations at the time of your birth somehow affects your personality.
Quote from the pilot episode of the Big Bang theory
I'm a Taurus and I don;t believe in astrology or horoscopes or anything like that. I've read my horoscope a few times and its always wrong anyway. It says I'll have a good, happy week and I never do.
On a freak coincidence someone might actually share these qualities, but everyone is different and it doesn't differ because of different birth dates. So no, I don't believe in horoscopes.
I believe in them when they are done properly. Which they hardly ever are.
To be done properly, they need to be based on very specific info about when you were born. There's a ton of calculations and such...
What the average person considers a horoscope (typically what you find in newspapers/tabloids), is absolute rubbish. That's all there is to say about that. Real horoscopes are as different as real people, and not just a generalization of 12 groups of people.
Properly, as in something along the lines of numerology and stellar birthcharts?
I've seen the theories of the alignments of the planets...I can't comment on their accuracy though as applied to myself because I only know the approximate hour of my birth. But needless to say I'm skeptical of their predictive power.
A more scientifically compatible way of going about this is demographic studies, though they do tend to give mixed results. One phenomenon I've seen is the possible correlation in birthdates and ahievement indices...possibly something to do with being born around the Winter-Spring time. While I'm writing this I'm trying to look for the study but I can't find it so you'll have to wait ;_;
But yeah, a bigger driver to success would be socioeconomic status. In my school, in which most of the kids came from sufficiently affluent families, it turned out that more than half of the top 20 academic performers in my year had their birthdays in the first three weeks of August. I'm still not sure whether this is reflective or coincidental.
I don't believe in them. I am currently in a psychology class and have learned that they are general and feed on the positive qualities that they say about you.

I don't know enough about either of those to reply to that.

Yep, tabloid horoscopes = pure rubbish that leech on some people's willingness to believe.
My mom used to do real horoscopes all the time. Never any specific predictions, because that's not how it works. Just energies and generalizations of what kind of things might happen in that period of time...
One could argue that even the custom horoscopes stay so vague that they can't be 100% wrong. Honestly, I don't mind that view. I'm not gonna live my life after calculations about the sky, but it can be interesting to listen to anyway (if it's not the "oh you're a Taurus, this is how your week will be" nonsense).
a: I want to know my future? good or bad? b: You will be rich next month with my spell. a: How rich? b: rich enough(he means you stupid enough to believe what I say) to buy a new car. a: OK, thx. b: No problem bro(he mean no problem you mor~...)
Next month you come back and you find out that you are still the same, and you ask
a: Why I'm not rich now? You say I will be rich with your spell? b: Yes, I said it(This person is stupid, If I can be rich with my spell, I will use it for myself), you just don't have enough Lucky Charm, you will need one. a: Really? OK, I'll buy one.
Then you can continue the story by your own.
No offense, It just suddenly I want to write a short story(lol, this story is good haha)
Usually ending up reading my horoscope at the end of the week, or the week after, because I do not really read those magazines. Always concluding they either do not match "You should use more time on your family this week" usually the week where I am actually staying with my family, and therefor could not be using more time with them, unless... Yeah. Or "This week you will have money" I never have money.
Well, not sure if I believe in the real ones or not, though, it is like... Idk.
Yeah, because you pretty much only find them in magezines or on the computer. You would have to search for it on the computer, and your probably reading a magizene on the toilet...

HAHAHA! Nice one, surfthenet. Even though I know I don't have a fortune teller near my house.... or anyone does for that matter... unless you live next to a carnival or something. XD
