I got home and immediately head for my computer. Basically that has been my routine and sometimes because I spend too much time in front of my computer that i run out of what to do. So what i will do is visit yahoo and read my horoscope. I am a Sagittarius and as I was reading it came to my mind if many people still reads horoscope today , believe in them and actually follows some of the stars advices. So what do you think? Does the stars play a role in our future? Do you read your future? What impact to day have to you?

I use to have my horoscope texted to me everyday. I switched my phone and so i dont get it anymore but i would always read them. I would lisen to them at times and some times i would lisen to what it suggested i do but not all the time. If it told me to contact an old friend i would just because it seemed like the right thing to do LOL.

Seems the right thing to do and as long as it wont do harm to you and to others. Are you following horoscope just because its fun or you take it seriously?

Ok. I do that too. I does not hurt to listen and weigh things if it is applicable to us.

I don't believe in "generic" daily horoscopes, found in newspapers and online. First of all, it's made for fun, and in so general terms, that anyone can find something for itself. It's like saying "You are going to breathe, eat and sleep today". Of course you will, everyone will...
More important thing is that real horoscopes are made individually, because every single person is unique, so should be their horoscopes as well.
When I said that I don't believe in them, I found some interesting things in general description of zodiac signs. I'm Sagittarius as you, and we supposed to be persons with passion for travel and learning. And that's pretty accurate describes my interests in life. How about you, do you share the same values?
I'm not sure about stars having effect on our lives, in sense of predetermination. But it might have something to do with the time when we are born. Fact is that year have seasons, and they affect our bodies and minds. That may be the reason that we are affected by natural influence of season we were born in. It surely affects the weather, and therefor the time we are indoors or outdoors, seasonal food (vegetables and fruits we are eating), and maybe in that way influence somewhat our process of development in early phase of life.

No, not really. Once I had reading from the astrology software, with explanations of results taken from some astrology books. Again, I found some general similarities with my character. It said that I love to travel and few other things that were generally correct, but not that I was convinced that it can foretold my future. It's more about my abilities and what should I concentrate on, in my life (which fields). In that sense, it was more a guide and help, not telling what will happened, because it's entirely on me to use those advantages and possibilities. And results will depend on many factors, but in those fields, there are bigger chances of success.

Thanks for commenting. Yes I do love to travel and like the quest for learning new thing. Have you tried an individualized horoscope reading?

I believe on horoscope. But, not madly. I will just go through my horoscope daily but i wont follow the stars advice. It doesnt make any sense if we follow fully. Stars doesnt play major role in our future. Our future is only depends on our own mind thinks.

I do believe also that it is us who will make our future . But it did remind me of an astrologer who said that horoscopes are only guides it does not rule over our future.

All will be well indeed. I do wonder how they write predictions. Some say that because it is too general that we find ourselves able to relate to the statement.

I do believe in horoscope but don't follow it religiously.When you are feeling low and nothing makes you happy you tend to look at your horoscope but I more believe in moon sign horoscope than sun sign horoscope as it is individually based on one's date of birth , birth place and time of birth. It gives more accurate readings than the generic horoscope scattered all over newspapers or sites.

Horoscope predictions ....there is the need for an able and efficient astrologer to bring those predictions about the approaching future. Rarely does things happen as per their predictions...because accuracy is definitely related with expert knowledge over matters....

I use to go to yahoo and read my horoscope daily every day. Not a day went by that I did not do that. I hardly ever read it anymore these days. If I am just browsing and I come across it I will read it but not out of habit any longer.

It is up to a person if it believes what his or her horoscope states. They don't necessarily need to follow all that is predicted to happen kin a day or a week even months or years. For me at times I visit my horoscope page to read what is in store for me in a certain day, and how will I adjust to something that will happen in that day. There is truly a little bit of truth behind those that is predicted for a certain zodiac sign, but for me these predictions only serves as a guideline to what you can expect to actually happen during that certain day. I usually look at the positive side of what is predicted for me, like for example if it says don't be too extravagant or jealous of your co-worker or anything, well I try to follow them and keep them in mind throughout the day. But they don't necessarily dictate what should I do, but they are just reminders for me so as not to initiate the emergence of any possible conflicts or problems. So if you are fond of reading your zodiac sign, it does not necessarily mean you will literally believe all the predictions, they are just there to serve as guides and reminders to what things we can avoid and what things we can do. Likewise they also serve as motivations for us to strive harder in life and promote our own self awareness of things and people around us.

Horoscopes are something that is extremely fascinating in many ways but there is really not something that I would rather put any stock to it. The future is not something that is set in stone. It is just that simple. We are the masters of our fate, we are the people who cause our minds to make decisions, to really move step by step into life.
That fact in mind, I do get a kick out of reading a lot of the horoscopes. They are utter fluff at best and completely rubbish at most but there are rather entertaining to read. It is just reading something that is really fascinating. But nothing is written in the stars, are actions cannot be defined or predetermined.

I think that may some Guesses They should write the commen fact done all lifes. It may be happen to not all but some ones life. Then they going to trust and seeing that thinks in my life i also do the same. One day i need to travel with my friends on that day i read horoscope. Then it's happen to me on the same day.
it's a commen fact that's done to every one life the guess comes right on that date. Like that would be written. If good thinks happen it's seems to be Good for us.

When I was young I am fond of reading my horoscope in newspapers
everyday. As I grew older, I realized and I've realized that it doesn't
and shouldn't create our own future. We are faced with our own decisions everyday
and this is what creates our own futures. Horoscopes may just serve as our guides
but it doesn't necessarily mean we have to know what's in the horoscopes
fo us everyday.

i used to believe in it before but nowadays i am not anymore as interested. i don't think what it says and predicts are true at all for us..it is fun to read them once in awhile but to rely on it for what our future holds..i don't really pay that much attention to it anymore.

Hii dazzledladly...
Well I don't like reading horoscope nor believe in horoscope. I think there will be no surprise in my life if I follow that such thing. We have got the fate and we live the life in our own way. No one take control I, except the God

No, I do not read or believe in horoscopes. The stars don't play any role at all in my future. My future is in much better hands than that.
Have a great day!

i do not rely just on my horoscope but i do try to read it everyday. sometimes i do not get to it is not a nessesity in my day but when i do i have noticed that they relate to me many of the times. sometimes it relates to a situation i am going thro and i try to use the advice it gives me when i am out of options. i will say a horoscope isnt always right and it can give you the wrong idea in life but you ahve to know what to take out of each one that you read.

I used to have to read my horoscope daily but I eventually got away from it. I used to read them to see how closely related to my daily life it was. Sometimes it was bang on and I would wonder does that mean everyone with my sign was doing the same thing? I'm also a Saggitarius.

I used to believe in horoscopes, but not now, because I think human beings cannot fully predict our lives.Who know our life only God.
