RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by Volv on 05-16-2008 at 05:42 PM

No, I don't. Maybe if my horoscope reading could tell me what I'm going to eat for dinner tomorrow, how I'll do in an exam or something more specific like that instead of telling me stupid things like "you may not be feeling your best bla bla".


RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by Basilis on 05-16-2008 at 05:48 PM

I am a Virgo but I don't really believe in horoscopes. It is all general like "You meet friends" or "You will succeed in this but be careful in the other"


RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by RebelSean on 05-16-2008 at 05:57 PM

There's bits and pieces of my horoscope that I do believe, but I don't always believe them. Some of them have indeed been happening lately. I'm "cancer" by the way.


RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by Sunshine on 05-16-2008 at 06:11 PM

I'm Aries (April 2nd).

I don't believe in horoscopes, but I do believe in the character traits of starsigns in general. Do note that those aren't always as black and white tho, one can have traits of sign before or after too depending on the birth date (and possible slight changes because of live's experience).


RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by albert on 05-16-2008 at 06:17 PM

I believe that people who relie on it will get more positive if the hosroscope say they'll have a good day; helping the cause.


RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by moi gem on 05-16-2008 at 06:33 PM

i believe in the characters, i don't beleive in what gonna happen!!


RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by Voldemort on 05-16-2008 at 07:01 PM

I do. I base my nonexistent social life on horoscopes.


RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by joey on 05-16-2008 at 08:19 PM

i reckon it sort of persuades you to do certain things like be nice or do something in a particular way just because your horoscope says something will happen, but only if you believe in it. assuming you do take it into account of what you do in your day then yes, it could make your days more positive. IMO, its bullshit :P


RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by Chris4 on 05-16-2008 at 08:48 PM

I don't believe in anything supernatural really.

Horoscopes are just random.

RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by Jesus on 05-17-2008 at 12:35 AM

I'm cancer. My horoscope says I shouldn't believe in supernatural stuff like horoscopes...

nah kiddin, but I don't believe in it anyway :P


RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by Th3rmal on 05-17-2008 at 12:43 AM

Im capricorn.

I dont really read them so theres not much for me to believe/not believe in. IMO i think that people who believe will try to make them come true, instead of just running the natural course of things....


RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by Justin on 05-17-2008 at 01:19 AM

I'm a Leo.

I don't really believe in them although some things that they say sometimes occurs.


RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by Volv on 05-17-2008 at 02:34 AM

<insert star-sign>ians, you are good at heart but sometimes feel misunderstood. You will meet a special someone tomorrow and/or in the next seven years but there will be a number of challenges in the way of friendship. Keep up the effort and positive results will follow.

I'm starting to think I could become a horoscope reader :o


RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by Jarrod on 05-17-2008 at 02:36 AM

i belive in astrology cos my mum does and it does actually work if it is done right the daily horoscopes are often dodgy though
also gemini's get on really well with aquarians which i happen to be;)

I agree with that.

There are how many people with the same star sign and It's hard to believe that all these people will have the same situations/problems.

RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by mattisdada on 05-17-2008 at 06:28 AM

I dont belive in them. But im very much like my star sign, which is scary :). Im a libra. I keep teh peace.

Maybe, we should become a very horoscopic site and make it all Libra's are mods, and all Cancers manifest and die.... :D

hi jarrod...... (A) looking for business?

(a hooker is always asking me if i want business on my way home, no way of avoiding her :P)
RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by SikStyles on 05-17-2008 at 04:09 PM

I do not. I think when you read them and believe them you will see those things come true thus believing it even more which basically proves "it's all in your head" quote.

this is more my vies i just didn't think of wording it like that,

some annual horoscopes aren't to bad though


RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by Matt-in on 05-17-2008 at 11:05 PM

Im A Virgo For 24th August. I dont believe in it :) Lol It is just a guess that a couple of people do it,

They say that dont believe in horoscopes but make sure you read them lol I dont know...

I dont read them neither believe in them ;)


RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by somelauw on 05-18-2008 at 06:08 PM

No, I'm down to earth. I don't even read them. I would have been a sagitarius, however the positions of the stars when the Babylonic people invented astrology 2000 years ago, have already changed.


RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by Chris4 on 05-18-2008 at 06:51 PM

Horoscopes say something 'might' happen, or whatever that is going to happen, there's a chance of it happening to anyone.

For example, today my horoscope says:

quote:
When asked to help with a weekend event, you could fall easily into practical mode. Preparations might require stripping down an area. DIY projects could take your mind off other matters too.

Well yeah, we're doing some wallpapering and DIY in my house, but I haven't done it 'this weekend'. There's a chance that anyone could be doing DIY this weekend.
RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by blessedguy on 05-18-2008 at 07:02 PM

...take a look at mine:
"Good news will arrive by e-mail"
(the original, for those who think it is a wrong translation: "Boas notícias chegarão por e-mail")

I'm pretty sure that almost everyone that hasgot an email receive good news by mail! :P

Thats my arguement to my friends too! (Y)
RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by androo123 on 05-28-2008 at 08:54 PM

I'm a Taurus/Aries, but I like to be known as a Taurus. The reason I'm two is because I have my birthday right on the line (April 20). Some magazines say Taurus starts April 19th, some say 20th, and most say 21st, but I refuse to be a complete Aries. Oh yes, and I partially beleive in Hororscopes, if you read an old horoscope months old, and you think of what happened and you read it, it actually makes sense.

Because you try to make it work out...

The quote in your sig is wrong :p

Also, I wouldn't keep reviving old threads although I think this one is ok :p

I think anybody who believes in horoscopes are idiots.

That being said, here is James Randi debunking the whole astrology/horoscope concept!

RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by user27089 on 06-04-2008 at 01:35 PM

No I don't believe in them, mainly for the reason that they're written in one of two ways:

1. People from the magazine/newspaper are each asked what their star-sign is and what they want to happen to them, which is subsequently then published;

2. or individuals are paid ridiculous amounts of money to come up with the horoscopes by looking at the stars, it's a complete farse.

If everyone's horoscopes came true, the economy would be screwed up with so many people winning the lottery - how many people with Aries are there who would've won the lottery if they'd came true.

I've also got a suspicious feeling that some of the things that come true are down to the self-fulfilling prophecy. If you read something, then you're going to expect it to happen and behave in such a manner for these things to come true. For example, if a single person looking for a 'soul-mate' reads it and the horoscope says: "You will meet a tall, blonde haired stranger who is your soul-mate", they're going to be looking out for someone who's tall with blonde hair, once again how many people are there who fit that description? Hence the reason why some people may think they're real.

They're a waste of time, anything supernatural is just a little bit ridiculous.


RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by Thor on 06-04-2008 at 01:37 PM

No, I don't.

I see no reason why to believe, but many reasons why not to believe.

(Most of them which are enlisted in this topic anyway.)

It's unfortunate that despite tests such as that one, people will choose to ignore such evidence and continue to believe it. It's amazing how easily deluded people really are.
RE: do u believe in Horoscopes?? by Joe on 06-05-2008 at 03:32 AM

Horoscopes are real. I see them all the time.
