It is interesting to
think that the stars, the planets, the moons, and such could play a large effect
in our lives; where they were when we were born, if certain ‘alignments’ can
bring good fortune or bring misfortune and so on. Studies have been done
however and no factual evidence exists that indicate that these things are
true. Many see astrology as just a fun diversion, but there are some take it
quite seriously. Certain ‘traits’ of different astrological signs are usually
vague or so wide ranging that one could see these traits in themselves, but one
could easily find traits that describe them in other signs as well. Newspapers
print astrology columns which supposedly provide guidance on what might occur
in a day in relation to the corresponding sign of the zodiac. Practicing
astrologers often scoff at such material. Yet, experiments have been done on
personalized horoscopes done by ‘professional’ astrologers, and have shown poor
results which are no better than the newspaper versions which of course runs contrary
to the claims of professional astrologers.
