What is your idea when it comes to horoscope?

December 28, 2016 7:22am CST
So I was in the bank queue earlier, and there was an old lady in front of me reading a newspaper in the horoscope part. She read aloud (I find this very annoying) and seemed to truly believe in those advices. I started to laugh discreetly, and she asked what was so funny... I said it was nothing. And she continued to read. The question is... How much nonsense do these people read every day? I don't have anything against (and I respect all thos who believe), even because, you read what you want and when you want... But I think this is all bullshit.

I don´t have anything against people who believe in horoscopes. I have everything against people who read aloud, whatever it is. I want to have my space. I read horoscopes and any thing that camoes to my hands if I go to a beauty parlour. Those lady´s magazines tell me more than I want to know about horoscopes and the royalty. I forget everything when my turn comes

I always liked comedian Robert Klein's take on those things. "'Today is a good day to ask for a raise.' And you read that and say, 'Yeah, if I had a job I would!'"

Reading aloud is really annoying! My Dad does it. I'm not sure he understands the idea (or is, perhaps, simply incapable) of reading in his head! As for horoscopes, I am very open-minded and I know there are things which are true but, as yet, unexplained. Horoscopes, at least those you see in newspapers, are complete rubbish. Two or three sentences of vague information which could apply to anyone. It's like when a psychic asks an audience if someone knows a John or a Mary. Now, if a psychic asked me if I knew a Sebastian or if I used to have a pet tarantula called Gerald, then I might (if I did have a pet tarantula called Gerald) take them a little more seriously. But a newspaper horoscope mainly says things like 'something good is coming your way' which, if you believe, you might think it's going to be some sort of lottery win but then you say 'well, I did have an amazing sandwich that someone made for me' so you'll be daft enough to believe that the horoscope predicted that.

Of course I don't believe in the horoscope. If I ever read it, probably I read it for fun at that time only. That's it. Hard to imagine that there are people who truely believe it

I don't really believe in the horoscopes that written on newspapers or magazines because they are for every one. If you have some one read your life only, then they need to have your date of birth and the hour you were born in... Believe me, they are true... But I try not to read too much into it as it makes me worried.

I believe in horoscope reading...but not in the general stuff they print in the newspaper. That's calculation is based on fixed average time, and unless you were born at that precise time it will have no relevance to you. The stars do impact on us...we know the moon (a planetary body) influences the tides and the flow of blood in our bodies.etc

I agree with you and many times I have thought the same.. My dad used to read it daily and I always told him not to read these bullshit..

i think reading horoscope is kind of fun. especially when you have nothing to do and about to die of boredom. but in my opinion it is not good to take everything in it seriously. i mean a lot of people are born in the same day same time down to the last second but their life is so different with one another.
