A rant about horoscopes

I keep seeing people post their horoscopes on twitter, and admittedly I signed up for an automatic daily post. I like to read what someone has decided that I, as a Capricorn, have to face each day. However, I constantly keep forgetting to check it.

Horoscopes drive me insane! Some person out there believes he can predict the future from stars, publishes it and people read it. It’s just a lucky coincidence if whatever is said comes true. If what was said for each star sign was actually real then every Capricorn, and other signs would get exactly the same luck.
It’s great that people have beliefs, if no one had any beliefs then everyone would struggle to find any positives in life. My belief is that you bring your own luck in life, that if you fuck up there are consequences; you don’t get anything for nothing – you have to work at it. And if a daily horoscope is the thing that boosts you and gives you confidence and guidance then so be it…

I just read mine for today, and I’m supposed to get in a debate with a friend. Me and my best friend are totally opposite, she believes in horoscopes and we already know our differences. But yes, she may read my status and get into a debate. That is not because some star in the sky has moved into a position, it’s because we have a difference of opinion. And there is also a chance that she sees my status and says nothing about it. It’s all chance, she’s a Gemini and I bet her horoscope doesn’t mention a debate.
