Horoscopes—are they just a figment of your imagination, do they consume the minds of surrounding citizens, are they concocted from media advertisers that prey on figuring out the behavior of society or is it all based from a legitimate historical science?

If so, do astronomers spend countless hours studying the stars just to know at the end of the day it is all false? Do professional “psychics” walk around telling tales of wisdom just to get some measly attention?

These are questions that countless people might ask themselves, and quite frankly society is uneducated on the differences among the star signs. Consequently, anything with the words psychic, horoscope or zodiac seem to be coupled together and labeled entirely false or entirely true.

“I don’t believe in them. I feel like it’s a safety net for some, and you can’t base your life off what someone else said. It’s what you make it,” senior Bree Castle said.

Now a daily horoscope generated by Yahoo might read like this—It may be somewhat challenging to get your bearings today as a series of discordant sky patterns can overwhelm the positive professional potentials contained in moon.

Should a person go out of their way to follow exactly what is being said above? Are people that ignorant and take a simple fortune cookie quote and revolve there life around the “meaningful” message?

It depends on who you ask, according to the New York Times. It is precisely false because the first job of science is to observe and then to explain what is observed, causing scientists to dismiss astrology. The problem is not that we lack an understanding of the methodology; the problem is that we lack any evidence that astrology is true. And until we have reason to believe that it is, we have no reason to attempt to explain it.

“I personally don’t believe in them, I know a few who do believe in them but overall I think its motivation and gives people thing to look forward to reading,” senior Collin Christ said.

What some may not know is that there are different types of astrology subfields.

According to a post from Sun and Sagittarius, “people saying that they believe in astrology, but not in horoscopes is simply frustrating because they should know that horoscopes are an integral part of Astrology and the way human kind learned how to interpret astrology knowledge on them.”

Alright, so one may ask, what’s next? What are the different types of astrology?

There is the Daily horoscope that people look up and read to see how their work, health and love life are coming along. And if you think about it, people usually look this up when they have that 4 p.m. boredom.

Then there is the monthly horoscope which is based on a monthly calendar and by a zodiac sign.

Next is the solar (Year) horoscope: It’s based upon Natal chart of particular person. It’s meant for one year regardless of when it starts.

Lastly there is the Natal Horoscope: It’s the basic and most advanced type of horoscope that there is available for astrology. There’re a lot of different astrology transformations but original and most advance would be with the Zodiac system of Aries and Taurus.

So does that mean all horoscopes are inaccurate?

Truth of the matter is that the horoscopes which jump off the computer screen and try to find the readers in the pop up ads are meant to be read for fun, and usually are picked at random from the computer and generated to appeal to the mass media. The professional stuff comes from people that read the charts and stars for a living; they have clients come to them, or more secure webpages that might require some sort of user and password.

Whether astrology is believable or just a coincident-type of science is entirely up to the reader.

According to senior Kristen Dowell, She agrees with astrology but on the zodiac part of it. Many times she feels like a person’s zodiac sign is correct about them. “However, I don’t believe in daily horoscopes. I feel that stuff can be easily fabricated and many times is.”

Horoscopes mean different things to different people. Some are exactly dead on about a person, while others are few and far between. What society can agree on is when they are right; they make an interesting controversial conversation.

“I just think that horoscopes and things like that are just predictions,” freshman Taylor Rickey said, “and you can’t really predict what’s going to happen in your life. You just never know.”
