Does anyone here place much store by this stuff?

A friend of mine believes quite strongly in it. To the extent she wouldn't go out with someone who wasn't compatible with her sign.

Personally, I think she's mentally defective.

I find it hilarious that people believe the star signs crap that gets printed in the paper. It's ridiculously vague and the one that applies to you also applies to 1/12 of the earths population.

Fergus Gibson knows all.

Disbelieve him at your peril.

Well when I check mine it makes sense to me and if I look at the other they don't mean a thing to me mostly...

Next time you're reading the paper while she's in the room, read out some random horoscope and tell her it's hers. She'll no doubt tell you how accurate it is, etc., which is when you point out that it wasn't hers at all.

Of course, it won't make a difference to her, and she'll just keep on believing, but at least you'll know that she's a retard and you can feel good about that.

Bullsh*t. You could interpret at least a few of the other ones so that they fit your life just as easily as your 'real' one. If not, then you're special, cos that's how it works for everyone else.

That's because you see what you want to see.

I'm going to try this and I know it'll work.

I worked for a local paper for a while in transition year and remember the chap writing them. He honestly just pulled a few words out of a mug and wrote them into it. I used to have great fun helping him with them.

TeddyTedson

Well I checked the star signs here
I looked at more than half yet my real one is the only one the is really on track. It's as if it was made specifically for me.

KeithAFC

Nope. Astrology is designed to seem like every sign is specific but they aren't really. Sells papers though.

I spent my childhood believeing I was a Capricorn (iirc), and believed all of my horoscopes thinking them to be wonderfully accurate. Aged 13, it is pointed out to me that I am actually a Cancer.

Goes to show, us people will believe anything.

Newspapers should have less Astrology and more Astronomy

scarymoon1

i worked in a newspaper once and we made the horoscopes up. so don't always believe what you read.

Gummy Panda

its all bullshít

Here is mine:

"The family surprise you with exciting plans and your contribution will be the catalyst that makes them work.

Clever Mercury helps you deal with officials. You can think clearly about love and a decision you hesitated over is now easy.

Single? A workplace romance is one option."

Workplace romance is not an option since I work with mostly guys lol

Biggins

I don't put any stock in that stuff whatsoever.
Amid the billions of starts and galaxies that exist, some is trying to tell me tht because I was born by coincidence under a bunch of particular one, my future can be told?

Cobblers!
People will read into that daily rubbish what they want to read/see, even at a sub-conscious level.

Mr Bloat

There's also the fact that, if the daily horoscope was correct and an indication of someone's future, surely all of the horoscopes printed everywhere would say almost the same thing for each sign? They don't.

fakearms123

How dare you people make fun of horoscopes! :mad: I live my day based solely on my horoscopes! My horoscope was able to predict the two most significant moments in my life!
1. Your birthday party will be ruined once again by your
explosive flatulence

and

2.Your love life will run into trouble when your fiance hurls
a javelin through your chest

Two painful days... both physically and emotionally!

Penn

Think about all the different types of people in the world, people in other cultures, the number of poor people, the number of rich people, the number of healthy people, the number of sick people, the number of people in jail, the number of people who live in tribes etc etc. And I'm supposed to have the same kind of day as 1/12th of all those people? Bull****.

The worst part is people who make major decisions based on their signs. Here's an idea, make decisions based on logic and reasoning, not what constellation was highest in the sky the day you were born

It's a hoax, so says my religious leader Beth Gaga Shaggy

oeb

I know a few different people who write these, they are all either made up on the spot or grabbed from a random website.

The only horoscopes that I have any mass in are the ones on the onion.

eg Virgo - Pluto rising in your sign indicates trouble in your work life, which is problematic because, well, for astronomical reasons, Pluto will be rising in your sign for the next 87 years.

To believe in astrology you have to believe 3 idiotic things

1. Newton was wrong.

2. That burning balls of gas thousands of light years away can effect you life here on earth.

3. The best person to interprit that effect is fergus gibson.

Its the third one that makes least sense

jimthemental

Reading horoscopes aloud to people is apparently bad luck. A couple of my friends actually believe in this slurry so I happily inform them what to expect when I buy a paper. They go ape

Being a Gemini, the most intelligent SCHIZO and witty of all the signs I would have to say yes, they do hold some ground :cool:

All being said I do follow the onion horoscopes religiously

eg..

Libra Sep 23 - Oct 23
You have evidently failed to learn the lessons of history, as you will attempt to find the Northwest Passage, unite Britain and Ireland, and get your family to stop exchanging Christmas gifts.

Your sudden desire for stability will lead you to retrofit yourself with StabiliTrak, a rather dated skid- control system that brakes your feet individually to improve control

So true...
