I don't in no way believe in the horoscopes and zodiac signs. But one day after the subject was randomnly discussed by me and a friend, I decided to look up my zodiac sign and horoscope details. What I found about what my horoscope says about my recent past and immediate future was somewhat accurate. That scared me a little. So my question is this: Is there any truth about the things the horoscope says about people's personality, love compatibily, interrests, and etc...? Tell me what you think!

Honestly no. People will try to say it's real or that it's demonic in some respect, but it's pretty harmless unless you're some person that follows each days report word-for-word. I check mine every day on the paid-to-click thing and have had some pretty funny parallels like you had. One day it said that I would struggle with a virus. I noticed a lot of people were sick around me, so I imagined I'd be getting sick or something. Turns out that same day my PC got the worst virus I ever had to deal with! lol
The problem here is the human mind is ALWAYS looking for patterns. ALWAYS. So if something aligns to what you were told earlier, you may think that original "teller" knows what it's talking about even thouigh it's highly illogical and irrational (for instance christians with their biblical prophecies- "the bible said this, which looks like what happened here! Therefore it's true!"). For instance a year ago I thought I was being 'haunted' by the number "101" as I kept seeing it everywhere I went. But then I realized how many numbers I was staring at during the day and that whenever I saw 101, my mind would only log that one pair of numbers instead of all the others. My mind would disregard the other hundreds of number pairs I saw during the day in favor of that one just because it aligned to that pattern in my mind.
"12:12...12:30...12:42...12:53...12:57...1:00...1:01 OMG 101 AGAIN IT'S HAUNTING ME!"
"Hmm...address...93...97...105...103...101 OMG THERE IT IS AGAIN!!!"
"10010100101011100101011000101...OMG THE BINARY NUMBERS ARE IN ON IT TOO!"
So something like the zodiac signs and horoscopes are nothing but entertainment-- what they say will stick in your head for the day and if something happens close to what the readings said, you might be convinced. It's a clever trick though! I will say I like them because they tell you to watch for positive and negative things in your life that you may have not noticed or should really sit and think about. Similar to a fortune cookie I suppose. But to think that our lives are determined by the stars, though sounding cool, is a little too wacky for me. I hope this makes sense.

No. Their a bunch of :bs: .

That's a very good response,and yes it makes very good sense. But be careful about the comparisons you make, so you may not offend anyone because people do believe in the prophesies in the Bible.

Well I imagine I've already offended people who believe in zodiacs, so...
;)

I stay away from horoscopes and the like. I think they're just a notch below witchcraft.
-
well i dont know what to say but i do find out that certain info are true or come to be true.
-
zodiac signs and horoscopes are just for entertainment purposes only,people who are believers make it a bigger deal than it is ,i believe its all about positive thinking----if u think u can do it then u will!!!! ;D
-
Some of the stuff that say is true about some of the people some of the time, BUT a TRUE PROFIT always says what is true all the time.
Christians are NOT supposed to participate in things of the Devil, but many so called Christians do. BUT they will have their day to stand before God on Judgement Day.
-
Not really
-
I think horoscopes are for entertainment. when I used to read them, they never seem to pertain to what is going on in my life.

I got the single best fortune cookie in my life the other day. It read "You think its a secret, but it never has been one." I still have it in my wallet. It makes me feel special.

The thing about horoscopes (and fortune cookies ;) ) is that they are so general and vague that you can honestly attribute almost anything to it to make it true. So if my horoscope says something along the lines of "You will wake in the morning and find that things are not always what they seem," I would be foolish to think that if a ManBearPig walked to my door and knocked on it asking me to donate money to something other than Global Warming Research that my horoscope came true. :dontknow:

Falconer, this is for you... be afraid, be very afraid. I think it could be the next big horror movie... ;) ;) ;)

You are right Christians are not suppose to participate- look at the story of King Solomam when he tried to get an answer from the witch- the Bible tells you they exists but we are to stay away

Yeesh...the superstition in this thread is off the charts...
-
I don't believe that the horoscopes and the zodiacs signs are true because these are only guessed future events that depend on the position that the stars and planets aline.

I was always taught not to believe in the horoscope/zodiac. I do read mine every now and then, and sometimes it is funny how there might be a comparison here and there. But the truth is that it can be a comparison towards anyone actually. It's always the same things over and over. Great love and money, no luck and broke.

I mean in my opinion I believe in da zodiac because i feel the stars aren't up there just for decoration I feel all of God's creation are of importance,besides think about the people that use to navigate by looking at the stars think of how the pyramids of giza and other ancient sites are lined up with the stars they must be deeper than what we think of them.

no i dont. it is demonic

No it's not.

Because, quite honestly, attributing evilness to something of which you don't approve is perfectly okay. It says so in the Bibl... wait, what?

I like horoscopes I read mine daily but do not live by it if it works out and makes sense sweet if not sweet..Sometimes my horoscope may make a crappy day seem better so no harm..So yeah I dig horoscopes :thumbsup:

I totally believe in horoscopes and the zodia, If you truely want to know moreabout yourself Check out a book called "The secret Language of Birthdays" (realtionship workbook and birthday keeper). This book has saved me a lot in learning about ppl I meet randomly or have become good friends with. Its not like a regular zodiac book that stereotypes all 12 zodiacs. This book breaks it down by the day you were born. For ex: I was Born July 6, I was born on the "Day of Magnetic Desire" my strengths are: fantasy-rich, run, psychologically astute, attractive, intent, and involved. My Weakness are: Self-distructive, obbsessive, embarrasing, stuck,and addictive. All this is true on my behalf.
This books gives you a personalogy report of yourself..Try it out it might make you change your mind about believing.

No, I do not believe in Horoscopes or Zodiac Signs. I think it just for entertainment and amusement.
I think each one of us is put on this Earth to make our own destiny, so I never really have had an interest in Horoscopes. :sad1:
I do though, like to believe in Fortune Cookies and carry them around if they relate to something in my life. ;)

Most atheists are made to offend so I don't think it matters. Hyro's and zodiacs have been around since the beginning of Babylon. A huge problem is Jesus name being written in a fish symbol I mean what's wrong with these churches, are they deliberately promoting false religion. Btw umm the assyrian mythological God known as Dagon was half fish half human. The original concept of aquaman and poseidon etc.

I don't believe in horoscopes & zodiac signs; i do find the horoscopes sometimes quite entertaining. :peace:

It would seem (no offense) especially ridiculous to believe in the zodiac now, considering the (eastern) sidereal and (western) tropical zodiacs no longer align with each other. In fact, with the addition of Ophiuchus into the sidereal zodiac, people born on specific days of the year are allowed to pick what their sign is! For example, people born on September 16 are allowed to choose between Leo or Virgo. Anything that allows people to choose which general personality and fortune you receive isn't really something I'd see as trustworthy.
But sure, they are fun to laugh at sometimes.
