Especially the Horoscopic astrology.

Wiki: A horoscope was calculated normally for the moment of an individual's birth, or at the beginning of an enterprise or event, because the alignments of the heavens at that moment were thought to determine the nature of the subject in question. One of the defining characteristics of this form of astrology that makes it distinct from other traditions is the computation of the degree of the Eastern horizon rising against the backdrop of the ecliptic at the specific moment under examination, otherwise known as the ascendant.

Horoscopic astrology has been the most influential and widespread form of astrology across the world.

What do you think about this matter ? I think it can be true less or more. My base idea was, at this world everything builds on cause and effect. The Earth, our birthday, stars, even weather, and so on. These can piece together the small environmental variables, and produce smaller or larger effects day-by-day.
Usually I read my horoscope at least once per week, if I don't forget it. happy.gif I just thought I would ask your opinions guys about this.

Oh, any my consellation is - Capricornus. ^^

Personally, I don't believe in that. Human psychology confirms that people will always look for truths and patters and that is why people always say "Oh wow! My Horoscope was so right!". They find things, even if remote, and see how it works in their personality. Besides, everything in the universe that has mass emits gravity on everything and where they are wouldn't change anything as we would still be affected the same.

Yes, my mentality is rather in that way too. ^^

Thats the point. Discuss others opinions, about it could be study by scientific aspects, or not.

Indeed, it is also an appropriate topic for this forum.

I mean there are legit 'fortune' tellers out there... my dad for one, a fortune teller told him he would have a serious heart problem in 10 years -- and 10 years later lo and behold, i had to be sent away to live with my grandparents because my dad was bedridden with something like weak arteries or something like that...his heart almost failed. So I do believe in it, whether its scientific or not...that same fortune teller told him he would go to America even if he didn't want to...he married my mom obvs, and she wanted to go to America -- and there it was, even though he didn't want to go he went.
