  • Think about it- i know u know the truth about religions. apply the same to astrology. it's a cold read- if u look at half the horoscopes ( for other signs) or whatever u r using, u will see it applies to u. general predictions. its all just convincing bullshit- ive seen my horoscope and its bullshit to me. sometimes they get it right and its convincing to that person.
  • The Barnum Effect: The tendency for people to see vague descriptions of, say, personality traits as astoundingly accurate when they could, in fact, apply to many people. The Forer Effect: Tendency of people to see vague descriptions of, say, personality traits, to be uniquely applicable to themselves even though they may apply to many people. Add to this the very human tendency of subjective validation and you have a working pseudoscience. I'm not saying astrology is all hocus pocus. It could be 100% real; I don't know. But I bet if you read a person who'd never heard it before their personality traits according to astrology, but read them the traits for the wrong sign, they would still be amazed at how accurate it was.
  • Take a horoscope you feel particularly speaks to you. Read it to a friend of a different star sign, telling them that it is indeed their horoscope. The fact that they will tend to believe the horoscope shows how generally vague and universally appealing the horoscopes are designed to be.
