Virgo horoscope for Septermber 23, 2004:

Hmm, must mean I have to start live life out in a box..... The question is when and how??? maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, maybe... maybe...

Do you believe in horoscope?

Honestly, I don't know if I believe or disbelieve horoscopes, I certainly don't let them rule my life like some people. Plus I don't do a lots of reading about them anymore, I just came across one while surfing the net. When I read horoscope it just for fun or out of curiosity. When I get hold of a newspaper in the morning I always turn at the back page, "hm, what does my sign says today".

I'm just wondering, how do they suceed in getting people to believe in horoscopes and how is it that sometimes some of what is written does match the reality? If the horoscope said: "Something good will happen today", surely everyday there's something good that happens!!! I mean the probability for it to be fullfilled is large.

My birthday is on 26th of August (Virgo) I had a classmate who was born on the same day in the same year...Yet, we didn't have any common traits or charateristics. Worst is we even fight constantly! Though from the readings you can actually observe similar traits about people from the same horoscope. Can be that this is anything but mere coincidence or perhaps applied psychology? Something like people born around this time must be sharing something or the other!

Horoscope can be just for fun, but it's that how it is for everyone? Some people say it's forbidden in their religion, some says it's just based on pressuming things without enough scientific bases. Unfortunately there are people who are really supersticious. But in a way sometimes even I become supersticious. Think about it, in a way each one of us does sometimes become supersticious. What do you say?
