"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!

Horoscopes are just random.

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.

Thats my arguement to my friends too!

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...

[off-topic]
The quote in your sig is wrong

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

I think anybody who believes in horoscopes are idiots.

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

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.

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.

Horoscopes are real. I see them all the time.
