Hi Mylotters! I have tried horoscope many times, i mean almost everyday. Some of it make sense and some aren't but still i check for it. But, i haven't tried Fortune and palm reading i am so scared to know what's ahead of me. I also think it's kinda creepy. :) Do you believe any of it? Have you tried it too? Does it affect you?

I don't believe much in Horoscopes as it won't always be for us. I have never gone to a fortune teller too but when I was in college, I really wanted to try but I feel so scared that she might say something creepy. In college, I have a professor who voluntarily asked me and another classmate to give our palms. He read our palms and told us what he saw. He is right about it. One of it already came true.

Hi Friend, I do believe in the Horoscope and palmistry. I am interested in reading all this stuff and I analyze myself and sometimes others on the basis of their zodiacs and their palms too. It is fun to do so and also it is true. I think there is some reality in it. Anybody who has studied the astrology can comment here on this post. I have some questions and may be some answers for your questions so, it will be great to discuss the knowledge here. I have not studied fully the western astrology and nor the vedic/Indian astrology. It is easy to predict the Sun sign of a person on the basis of the western astrology by not that easy to predict the moon sign and the sun sign on the basis of Indian astrology.

i have had experiences with palm reading, and fortune telling. I have a friend who does love to have her palms read and sometimes i would accompany her and i would be tempted to have mine seen as well. Honestly i just think they should not be taken seriously because i think out of all the times i had mine read (palms, cards or even tarot cards) they have not been absolutely perfect and they are often just mere guesses that even my friends can tell me. ha ha. =) About horoscopes, i do not believe them.. i have not seen someone or have read something that is quite believable or zeroed in to me and my personal experiences. all those that i have read about relating to horoscopes are quite general.

I like you have read horoscopes and they are fairly accurate for me. I have not tried fortune telling or palm reading. A childhoold friend of my hubby does that for a lil extra cash but you know I don't believe most of that especially if they have to charge you. Plus I've seen the scams on tv how they con you into coming back and paying more and more for more readings or bad omens ect.

hello there. Good day to you. For me, I only believe in horoscopes, because most but not always. They are telling somewhat related to what happened to me. I have not tried fortune teller and palm reading, once i have tried them and what have they said happened , I will believe in them,

yes when i was elementary student i tried palm reading and fortune telling but only once and that time 100% i believed.but now i never tried to repeat it again because i realized that only God know what will happen in the future. and about horoscope yes until now i always read my daily horoscope but it doesn't mean that i believe on it only just for fun!

HECK NO, Horoscopes are just about the most ridiculous things to believe in, ever. The things that they 'predict' -ughn- are just obvious everyday regular things which are bound to happen to you as the time goes past the clock. For example, "You need space" is just another way of saying "Your husband or sibling is going to get in a fight with you over something really silly (LIKE THEY DO EVERY DAY) and you will need space to cool off, so you might go outside or lock yourself in a room (WHICH ANY SENSIBLE PERSON WOULD DEICDE TO DO). So you see, horoscopes are just explain obvious things that you will already experience throughout your day and you start to interpret the horoscopes in such a way that you believe that they are correct. They become omens for the really gullible, and for some, they are just a way of knowing what will happen next when really, those things are just trivial components of their day.

I do not believe in such things. The reason is because it is not right to read those things and it is against my beliefs. I believe that my fate and future is merely determined by my actions in the present not something to be read in the stars or my palm or by random cards. The reason also why I refrain from reading horoscopes is because if I believe that whatever is said in paper is already my fate, won't I act towards that "fate"? Though I have to admit, there are times that I read those horoscopes but I merely read and never take it as something of importance and just laugh it off.

I don't really believe in that since the horoscopes i read rarely apply to my life. But i am interested in it and it seems fun.. I do not take it seriously though, although i want to try tart cards.

Life is what we make it. If we are determined to succeed we can. There's no need to have it seen through fortune telling. And like you said, it scares you. So why try it? Only God, knows what is in store for us. Pray for enlightenment when you are confused.

Well i believe nobody can be a fore teller but for sure i enjoy reading horoscope as a calculative science of stars and numbers.palm reading don't appeal me much as i tried it once or twice but i get trapped in the illogical arguments many a times.You are the maker of your own destiny and your efforts are the deciding factor.

Horoscopes are true to a certain point, your sign and all are true, sometimes tarot.com's horoscopes are accurate, but the ones you see in the paper or in magazines are generally to make you interested in seeing the next one. Fortune telling is tricky as is palm reading, the tellers can always be false, and while I tell fortunes/read palms, I can say it's not easy. You need to watch a teller, they can try to lead you on if they are fakers so that if you give them names or clues they pretty much fabricate it. You should only focus on your question or whatever and let the teller know, that's all the cards/palms answer. You can get a DIY palm kit cheap. Everything is open to interpretation though.

Most of the parts are true in astrology ! It's like a probability.But you can change if u believe in ur self. Our plam patterns change if we change our self.It's kinda true. Horoscope is not astrology.Horoscopes are for entertainment.Astrology is a science and an art.Astrology is NOT a belief either. It is a tool !Astrology represents our emotional psyche.You would be surprised how much you can tell about a person with the chart only and we are all unique. Now I am reading a book about Occult science which blame Christians ! I don't no Y !

I don't believe it, so I haven't tried it. When God created us, he had already planned about our life also, how it will be for each person. So, even though if you see a fortune teller or read horoscope, it will happen only according to God's plan. Maybe, you can change life a little bit but not fully.

Yes I believe them. The problem is there are many fortune-tellers out there who are not really knowledgeable or trained in reading fortune. As a result, many people will treat them as gibberish. However, if one do come across a master, they can tell you your fortune by looking at your face, palm, etc.

yes, i do believe in horoscopes, palm reading but i don't know about fortune telling. We shouldn't take it as serious and we can't change anything by knowing that before. whatever needs to happen will happen in our life. If i came to know a good thing by this things then i will take it as positive otherwise i don't mind about that. I tried some of these and it beocomes true in my life.

I believe in it all. this might be just be me due to my experiences with it all. I have once told my own fortune and it actually happened. Very occasionally i look at a horoscope at the end of the day and find that the exact same thing happened that day. you just have to remember that the future isn't set in stone and that it can be easily changed by what you do or think. Fortune telling tells us the future that will happen if we keep our mind set as it is now. hope this helped. Bless you be

Oh yes, I sometimes do believe in horoscopes. But it depends on a person's personal choice of believing in this stuffs. yeah i had been to several fortune tellers and they had also predicted correct about my past happenings and had also given me quite a few handful of advices for my future.
