Why do people think horoscopes are reliable?!
Question: Why do people think horoscopes are reliable!?
I'm sorry but this I have never understood, they are either so random like a fortune cookie or they are so common in their prediction that 9 out of 10 people will do exactly what it said they would!.
For example!.!.!. Here is mine for today "
Obstructive influences will be present from the start!. Financial news may be disappointing!. Any potential gains might turn out to be less than you hoped!. A bill or invoice might be heavier than you expected!. Treat cash matters with utter care, or avoid them altogether today, if possible!"
well duh we are in an economic crisis!. It basically tells you to avoid things with no rhyme or reason!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

People think horoscopes are reliable because theyre so dang vague of course they'll come true!!! Does it really make sense that the alignments of celestial bodies millions of miles away govern our day to day events and character traits due to what position the Earth was in on the day we were born!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Look - you are reading popular astrology in newspapers and magazines!. These so called astrologers give real astrology a bad name and are a disgrace to the art of astrology!. They are based on sun signs and worse than useless!. You are right in your summary of them!. Go to http://www!.astro!.com and get your full birthchart done based on your birthdate, time and place before you condemn astrology based on this popular astrology
But don't expect any astrology to tell you exact details of things - it predicts trends not that you'll meet a tall dark stranger at your local cinema and you'll win the lottery on a certain dateWww@Enter-QA@Com

Like Bob said, newspaper horoscopes are simplistic to the point of loosing any accuracy they might have had!. What they do is take your sun sign and look at what planets are making aspects to that sign!.
Here's the problem!. The sun (which is the "planet" whose sign is your "sign") is only one of 10 that make up the personality!. So trying to predict based upon a single planet is like !.!.!.!. well I don't know good analogy at present, but you see the problem!.
There is a whole branch of astrology called Transits that is what horoscopes are a bastardized version of!. It makes use of your entire chart and is able to be much more precise!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
