Are one of those people who truly believe in what the horoscopes are predicting or telling them? or are you like me who just likes to see what it has to say, but doesn't really govern my actions?
There are times though when it's tempting because it seems that what it says truly is right.

I believe that it has something to do with your sign. My sign is scorpio ask any scorpio they would tell you that, they find it very interesting to look up in their daily horoscope, even in tarot reading, anything that has something to do with astrology. Well, just to sum up my opinion.. I believe that somehow they foresee some of the highlights in your life its up to you to value it or not. thre is no harm in trying. [angeldust008]
I am also a scorpio and I agree. [ladygator]
Yes sometime I believe in horoscope. But one needs to create a limit in believing horoscope. Horoscope is just a guidance for your next step. For example if daily horoscope says that you are going to get short temper or going to have fight then for that you can try to avoid fight with people around you. In my point of view horoscope is good to believe till you are able to take it +ve way. [vinshe82]
It's nice when you put it that way, it's just some sort of guidance or warning, doesn't really mean things could happen, but it's nice to be reminded prior so that we could be reminded when we do need to adjust our attitudes. Thanks for the response. [laydee]
No, I do not believe. It is easy to prove with the systems that just use the sun signs - They group all of humanity into twelve groups, and surely there are more than 12 destinies out there. Here is an interesting post: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Sceptics-Skepticism-3364/starting-become-skeptic.htm It explains very well how the scam works. [Qaeyious]
Nah, I dont believe in those stuff but i always had fun reading them. Some of it strikes me but most of it dont. I just happen to read them coz some of my friends like reading them. What I think about those horoscope makers is that when ever they say something positive or nice about your horoscope, then off course you will be flattered a begin to dream hopefully it would come true like "today, you'll met the woman of your life". [Jankar]
I guess it also boils down to our psyche and the law of attraction too, believing will soon become action. That's why these horoscopes seem interesting. But still, if we just keep it fun, then it's okay. [laydee]
No, i don't believe in horoscope but i do read them as a guide in a sense that sometimes i should be reminded of something. Horoscope usually tells you what you are taking for granted like health, family or friends. Sometimes horoscope prompts me to do things better. When horoscopes tells me something that is really specific, then i chose to skip because i don't want something to be controlling my life. Afterall, the decision is still mine. [modstar]
I used to believe in Astrology, because it seemed like it was actually predicting things for me.If we can find a good astrologer,he can predict our future with some accuracy up to some extend.But,now it very difficult to find a good astrologer.Some people with out knowing astrology cheat people and destroying the reputation of good astrologer also.Most educated people dismiss astrology as rubbish,but there is something in it. I still believe that more research is needed in this area.There is some mysterious force controlling all our day to day activities.with out seeing God,we all believe in God.I think arts like face reading,palm reading and horoscope reading needs more study.There is lot of scope in this are.if we explore it in a proper way. [sreejithsreenivas]
I dont believe in horoscopes like you'd find in your local paper by any means but I am a huge fan of and believer in astrology.. [Ravenladyj]
I enjoy reading my horoscope from time to time I find it entertaining. However I don't 100% believe in them. While I enjoy trying to relate my life to what the horoscope is saying I know that the horoscope isnt true. All because I dont believe in them doesnt mean I cant enjoy reading them. [sammyspam]
I do believe in horoscopes.. but only to some extent.. But I firmly believe the concept of "waves" surrounding us.. Each and every person has a certain pattern of waves surrounding them.. It depends on the way they think and act.. those who have a lot of positive thinking have positive waves around them.. Some people believe that these waves are in turn governed to some extent by the planet positions at the time of their birth.. But horoscopes are PREDICTIONS and may not be 100% true.. but yes, if you get your planet positions right, your horoscope is predicted by the right person you can get abt 98-99% correct answers.. [Jaj_sahi]
yah u r really rite. horoscopes r belivable only upto some extent. what u have written is understandable to few persons. i was looking for a reply about positive n negative waves.. n i got it by u. [chetan_hotshot]
I personally think that if you read them it stays in the back of your head and you do what the horoscope says without thinking.. They can be fun to read just dont read the one for your birthdate.. Thats what i think anyway... [ruworth]
I do not believe in horoscopes. the future is not for us to see,whatever will come will come....Believe in God...He will do the best for you... [nidz_16]
Most of the time not because every time I tried to have faith in them, they betrayed me. So, I am not the one who follows horoscope. Although, I belive that position of stars has an important impact on our life but I don't believe in horoscope which is published every day in news paper! [sanuanu]
YES! Honestly way back 2008 I had a case that 6 horoscope in a row was truly happened to me. [roi2345]
whoah really.. could you really say these were events that were really unique from those of other people's? [laydee]
I think horoscopes are all in your mind. In highschool my best friend and i had our horoscopes texted to our phones every morning as a daily alert and it almost seemed like we lived our day just to make our daily horoscope true. Its a mind game and any statement regarding what is in your agenda for the day can almost relate to anything. We found ourselves saying, "Oh that what our horoscopes meant this morning!" throughout the day when in reality that just seemed silly. I do believe your character and traits do relate to your sign but not what you future holds, whether its just a daily prediction or for the upcoming year. Horoscope are in good spirit either way! [Jillianmc]
well, i used to think its bullsheet but when most of my friend told me that there is a woman who live in our city center can foretell ones future accurately by reading palm and from ur birthday. so i wanna have a try especially when i hear that she would go aboard. [singasongforme]
Hi laydee, Whatever one may say, it is quite an intriguing subject. Sometimes the predictions come so true, and makes you wonder if there really is something in it. But on the whole i prefer not to know anything about my life beforehand because , i feel it is better to take things as they come without any apprehensions or expectations.. [kiran8]
well, yes..I m exactly like u in this regard..!! its great to hear though we tend to forget when we get back in ur fast moving lives.. [drdivu]
I don't take them seriously. But I do sometimes wonder if there is some truth to 'real' astrology, beyond the sun sign that is applied to 1/12 of people. My chart as a whole scares me with how well it seems to suit me, and a horoscope based on all the parts I would give serious consideration to. [eponiine]
i don't believe in horoscope, it's just a coincidence that what they say sometimes collide to what we are doing. i don't believe on the things that people have predicted, there is only one God that can predict our life. [xannebull]
I do believe in Horoscope but not so blindly as I belie in our efforts and hard work too to change our lives.The predictions of my horoscope proved to be 90% right in my life.It has helped me to be forewarned of the weaknesses of me and tread accordingly.I do consult the astrologer before venturing into any new thing.happy [balasri]
i dont believe it either, but i will use it as a guideline it will make me more determined todo something. [matttagos]
Yes and no..depends..can predict someones actions in some way we each have our own planet that rules us,moods swings and all kind of actions can be predicted but also we each as individuals can evolve and step outside from that influence,depends on people who know when we are on our way to become and adult those have also an impact and can make use better or not,planets rule us..that's a fact always...movements also can affect us more or less..usually we don't notice much..i don't think that some horoscope can say exactly what will happen that day,nobody can see the future...just a prediction and can be taken like that..might or might not happen..depends mostly on our own actions [hcsicrissan]
I never look at them! In this life, the way we are created, in our natural state of being, what we take in either visually, or auditorally, has an affect on our outlook. Some say the planets and the objects of creation have an affect on us...and indeed they might if we allow it...it's almost self induced..our mind, once having taken in the horoscope reading, sets itself up to look, either consciously or unconsciously for the fulfillment of the reading. My personal belief is that it is not ordained of the creator God, and therefor is not the best route, or thought that I should take in. On that same note, Satan, who is a master deceiver, can use those things to get a person diverted, or distracted from God's word. The horoscope in and of itself may not be destructive, but could perhaps be a tool to keep us from relying on the one who deserves all of our love, and adoration. Just a thought! [gwynn156]
The more you believe in it the more I gues you are going to let it direct your actions and in the end perhaps make it turn out the way it had said. No I just read it for fun i think its pure coincidence when it gets it right its soo vague [headabnger2884]
Sometimes I feel like it is a self fulfilling prophesy - if one believes it they will look for those things to happen - I think - Typically they written in vague enough form that any day can fit. I find them entertaining to look at occasionally but it certainly isn't a daily thing - nor would I change plans based on the information. [Trensue]
The horoscope is made up as much as the Easter bunny is. Neither have any real clout just superstitions people like to believe. Do you even know how the horoscopes are made? There is nothing planned out or directed or showed to anyone. There was no reading of the stars, just a bunch of random facts mismatched together with a month. [csrobins]
To be honest, I don't believe horoscope very much. But I still respect it. Since it has a long time history and so many people believe in it, I think it has some values to us. Maybe we should believe horoscope partly and also believe our feelings partly. [xingxingsky]
Of course sometimes horoscopes seem to be right! They are written in a very general way and each reader interprets it according to what is happening in their own lives! They are purposely written with vague ideas both positive and negative! There are a million ways of interpreting the simple 'It will be a good time to start thinking of making changes in your life, or they may be forced on you.' There are millions of people who share the same signs. If you knew how many people could speak English and have access to a computer then divide that number by 12 it's still in the millions. I am one of 3 Capricorn sisters and we often 'compared' our horoscopes. The only rule was you had to read the horoscope after the day or month. You then had to choose one statement that you thought was true and say why! Then say if you agreed with each other reasons. The game as spread to the evergrowing number of younger 'Capricorns' in the family! There's always someone who can come up with a negative interpretation! As much as we like to think we are 'different' we could read any sign and find as much 'true' in them too. [Annmac]
It's true, most of them are vague and it's up to the reader to figure or decipher and relate it to one's life. Nice response. [laydee]
I think that horoscopes can be entertaining. I also think that the people who write them are talented in writing and making a brief statement apply to many people. I know when I read a horoscope I start looking for something in my life that it applies to. They are never very specific and almost always I can find a way to apply it to something I'm dealing with or going through, but I don't think that the people who write them are psychic or truth tellers. It can still be fun to read them though. [harmonee]
well honestly speaking i do believe in them when they are related to my past and future. Many a times what is stated happens to come true and also some of it dont. Some people say that we should live our believing in the horoscope. I think that is not right. At times what is says helps us to prepare for the things that are going to happen in the future. [schoenmaker143]
hi yes i do believe in horoscopes and our star signs does have impact on us.i dont completely rely on the horoscope and dont laze out all day.i do work hard and i expect results. and in our traditional Indian Hindu marriages,horoscopes do play an major role. happy mylotting [23uday]
hi Well according to Indian astrology ,out of millions of stars in the galaxy,only 27 stars cast their influence on the people and these stars have their own names and have their god.there are many things in the astrology which have to be considered and when a person is born,depending upon the time at which the person was born,have their own birth name and birth star ,and these stars are considered when finding a match.Zodiac sign compatability is checked here.astrology is an in-depth and vast subject.but one should not totally rely on it.it would be like building castles in the air.and not all the astrologers can predict future and blessed ,true can predict,if u want to know more ,you can google about this. happy mylotting have a great timehappy [23uday]
hello laydee, i love reading horoscopes coz i find it interesting and fun but i don't really believe on what it is saying...but somehow, there are times that it looks like its saying right about me...but i guess its just coincidence, coz if horoscopes are true meaning all people with the same zodiac have the same fate...just thinking...:-) but really horoscopes don't affect my daily life...but i always read it, actually i read it first whenever i have a newspaper...:-) have a nice day! :-) [ckyera]
Most of of their predictions about life are generally related to what you will be doing for the day. But some of the horoscopes just cam out to be true but not always. Maybe they are telling something that is all about you for that matter of day. [technoobs]
Hi there laydee! I really do not believe in horoscopes. But it's fun reading them. If what it says happens, maybe it was purely a coincident. [dolce_vita78]
Partly I believe, partly i dont. Because these horoscopes are so generic and it it is really true, that means all of Scorpio's out there have the same future? [clouds0327]
