Why are horoscopes such crap?

Why are horoscopes such crap?

This is mine for today.

—”Capricorn (12/22-1/19)
You’ve been kind of bored and restless lately, and might be thinking that a change of scenery would suit you. Stop telling yourself that you’re just trying to duck out from responsibilities — instead, you’re trying to find a way to rejuvenate yourself. Take a loved one along for the ride — someone you’re sure can be more than just company, but also be part of the regeneration process.”—

Do these things ever apply to anyone? Every one of mine is always so bloody far off!!! What say you, members of Y!A…
Have you ever had a horoscope that applied to your situation in life. Like ever.

Only once when it said i was angry. Actually i was pissed off that i actually wasted my time on it. They’re full of crap just like the people who make them.

Answer by thesnakeinthegarden
People love crap. They eat it, watch it, read it, believe it and love it.

A quote:

“Enlightenment is man’s release from his self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage is man’s inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another. Self-incurred is this tutelage when its cause lies not in lack of reason but in lack of resolution and courage to use it without direction from another. Sapere aude! “Have courage to use your own reason!”
-that is the motto of enlightenment.

Laziness and cowardice are the reasons why so great a portion of mankind, after nature has long since discharged them from external direction, nevertheless remains under lifelong tutelage, and why it is so easy for others to set themselves up as their guardians. It is so easy not to be of age. If I have a book which understands for me, a pastor who has a conscience for me, a physician who decides my diet, and so forth, I need not trouble myself. I need not think, if I can only pay – others will easily undertake the irksome work for me.”
-Kant

Answer by _MiR_
Probably because the majority of horoscopes are not based on anything at all. They are just made up like fortune cookies for profit. To add to this, horoscopes tend to be based off of sun signs which only account for a small part of each person and it’s impossible to right something credible that relates to about 1/12th of the population. I personally hate horoscopes I don’t read them unless I need a good laugh. I like how they always mention I will meet my dream man.. this happens every month. Just as an update, I’ve yet to meet my dream man and I certainly don’t meet a new one every month.

Have you checked your Horoscopes lately??

which horoscope are you?

Aries March 21 – April 19
Add more romance to your life by pampering the people you love — and yourself.
You know, of course, that substance is what matters — but all the better if this person’s substance comes with some sexy wrappings. You’re feeling pretty magnetic yourself. When the two of you meet, watch out!

Leo July 23 – August 22
In a stressful situation today, you need to stay calm, even if no one else can.
Let people see the warmer side of your personality. Heck, let them see the downright gleeful, childlike side while you’re at it. Not only will they like what they see, but you might be pleasantly surprised too.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 21
They say that honesty is the best policy, but white lies can be very useful today.
The thrill of the chase is the point. After all, you already have what you want, so you know the outcome. You and your sweetie need to indulge in a few romantic games, just as long as the rules are understood beforehand.

Taurus April 20 – May 20
Keep your alliances secret — your choices might be misunderstood by jealous folks.
You’re feeling like a Contrary Mary, even if you’re normally a Nice Nancy, but you’re not doing it out of perversity. You’re simply bound and determined to try new things to see what else could possibly appeal to you.

Virgo August 23 – September 22
Be prepared to have your regular routine turned on its ear in a fun, cool way today.
You’re motivated and inspired right now. Most importantly, you’re filled with a serene and startling clarity. This sense of purpose guides you to the right people who are willing and eager to help you with your plans.

Capricorn December 22 – January 19
Someone (you can probably guess who) is jealous of the acclaim you’re receiving.
What happens to goods when they’re left in the shop window for too long? They fade! The stars say it’s time for a change of pace, a new attitude and some fresh anecdotes so people can really appreciate your fabulousness.

Gemini May 21 – June 21
You don’t have to deal with opinionated people today — you know what you think.
Build up the strengths in your life rather than tearing yourself down. It’s easy to get caught up in the negative, but it’s not inevitable. Focus on your strengths rather than your perceived weaknesses.

Libra September 23 – October 22
You can make amazing things happen in a group situation right now, so go for it!
Some people need to draw attention to themselves, while others naturally attract the spotlight. Right now, you fall in the latter camp. Bask in the glow of others’ admiration. You could definitely get used to this

Aquarius January 20 – February 18
You may be asked to compromise your principles today — don’t make any promises.
If you come on too strong, you may end up pushing the other party away when you really want to draw them closer, so ease your grip. Practice self-sufficiency and you’ll find what you need in your own backyard.

Cancer June 22 – July 22
Extravagant gifts may be hiding a guilty conscience. Look a gift horse in the mouth.
A sly someone could talk you into something that’s really not to your benefit — or your checkbook. No matter how persuasive this person is, don’t buy what they’re selling. It’s time to protect your best interests.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21
Authority figures who think they know everything don’t today — warn them.
Under this astro influence, every emotion you feel is more heightened than usual. If you’re in love, you’re over the Moon. Conversely, if you’re in a snit, it’s a doozy. Just remind yourself that this, too, shall pass.

Pisces February 19 – March 20
Improving your health is admirable — lecturing other people to do the same is not.
Branch out. Take a language class. Try some exotic delicacies. Attend art galleries, poetry readings and cultural festivals. If you make an effort to enjoy and indulge in the new and the sublime, it will indulge you.

    Because if you get your horoscope from different sources on the same day, each one will be different.

    I Like these.. they are always accurate for me…

    Aries March 21 – April 20
    After the weekend you just had it’s probably a relief to get to work for some peace and quiet. Whether the news you’re grappling with is exciting or unsettling, you get clearer and clearer until, by Sunday, you have all the info you need. Just keep calm.

    Taurus April 21 – May 21
    Life settles down a little after all the excitement of recent weeks (it was exciting wasn’t it?) But others are still in a volatile mood. Never mind. Just bide your time and figure out what’s going on gently as you go. Decisions come at the weekend.

    Gemini May 22 – June 21
    The sun arrives in your sign, offering not only birthday treats but help with making sense of all the strangenesses of the weekend – and the week to come. How you deal with recent excitements and developments is important. Call in reinforcements.

    Cancer June 22 – July 23
    Over the coming weeks you’ll carry on having a lovely time. But there will also be something stirring deep down, some realisation dawning. And with so much going on behind the scenes you could find yourself exhausted. Get in some zeds.

    Leo July 24 – August 23
    Whatever someone’s said, whatever bombshells might have been dropped or sudden developments that have, er, developed, you can turn it to your advantage. And today you work out how. Now, in fact, no one can hold you back.

    Virgo August 24 – September 23
    Clashes and changes of mind are still possible, even if you feel you’ve had your fill of weird events over the weekend. But the solution to all your ills is to keep talking. Even if some people are driving you so batty you want to send them to Coventry.

    Libra September 24 – October 23
    It will be much easier to knit together thoughts and feelings this week. Which will help make sense of both. And given how things have been happening that don’t make too much sense, that will be a useful thing, right?

    Scorpio October 24 – November 22
    However worked up you may be, however busy, however riled, however downright exhausted from running around, you still need to have a sensible conversation this week. Not just a conversation, a whole negotiation. It will help with the exhaustion.

    Sagittarius November 23 – December 21
    If someone has been confusing the hell out of you with their like-this-one-minute, like-that-the-next behaviour, well, this week you start to get a handle on what’s going on. And it may well be not what you suspect right now. Insight’s coming.

    Capricorn December 22 – January 20
    Do you ever get tired of the role as the sensible one? But if someone has been loopy, or off on one, or carried away with some pie-in-the-sky scheme, you can bring them down to earth today. Try not to do it with too much of a bump, eh?

    Aquarius January 21 – February 19
    The whole business of self-expression goes into top gear this week. As does your creativity. Whether this manifests as the urge to paint your masterpiece, or to tell someone you like the look of that you like the look of them, is up to you.

    Pisces February 20 – March 20
    You’re still kind of buzzed up by new information, sudden happenings and a whole bunch of new urges. Keep talking about it. What’s going on now has the potential to change the way you live – and in a huge, exciting, positive way.

    mine is cancer,thxs a lot i rarely have the time to read it…. toushka that was really amazing,from where did u get them

  6. Chloe June 29, 2012 at 6:15 pm #

    I’m Pisces… I don’t read it usually, but I do read the characteristics of every sign…. i think it’s more accurate when you know where’s your moon sign, mars and venus… I asked for my natal chart at cafeastrology.com, i found theirs most accurate… still trying to find if it’s totally true….
