This question is right up my alley. My mom is an astrologer, so I grew up around astrology. Astrology is very complicated and complex, but most people don't know this. There is a lot more to astrology than your horoscope. In fact, I don't even read horoscopes. Horoscopes are silly and hardly ever correct because they only take into account a person's sun sign. Well, that's about 1% of the data a person can get from their astrological chart. An individual's astrological chart is as individualized to that person as a thumbprint. First, you have your sun sign (which is what horoscopes go off of), then you have your rising sign, and moon sign. You have a sign for every planet. Then you have the twelve houses and the placement of each planet and the sun in those twelve houses. Then you have squares and nodes, retrogrades. You have your Saturn return, which is what everybody goes through around age 30 and again around age 60, which is a time of reflection and transition. There are so many different aspects to a person's birth chart alone. Your birth chart, incidentally, is basically a "snapshot" of our solar system at the exact moment of your birth. Now, setting aside your birth chart, you also have to take into account how those planets have moved and changed sinec the time of your birth. It is a very complicated study and takes years to master. Horoscopes are really no more accurate than reading tea leaves when it comes down to it.

Having grown up exposed to astrology my entire life, I have had the opportunity to see it tested time and again and it has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to me that there is much truth in it, but only if you are really looking at your entire chart and only if you have a good and true astrologer, not a fraud who will tell you anything as long as you pay them. Horoscopes on the other hand....well...let's just say I can see why so many people don't believe in astrology if all they know about astrology is the horoscopes you see in the newspaper. If that were the case with me, I wouldn't believe in it either.
