"You've got to feel bad for anyone who dares to question your logic, because you'll definitely reduce them to a pile of simpering, whimpering apologies in a matter of moments."
And last week on Thursday, it told me it was Monday.
Also, since everyone here loves arguing, or so it seems, I figured this would be fitting.
Anything new happening with the clan world? Last time I was gone for a while and came back, RAT had some rebellion issues I would have never expected.

I like your siggy. Anyways, I have heard some funny things about people using horoscopes.
One girl at my school said "Isn't it weird that a lot of the stuff comes true?"
I couldn't answer due to some situations but if I could I would have said something along the lines like this.
"It's self-fulfilling prophecy. They are written to be as general as possible so it fits nearly, if not all, personalities."
TL;DR: It's a cold reading.

It's funny when they come true, when you read a horoscope after the fact.
But when you make that many guesses, like dreams, some are bound to come true.
Also, what's mostly surprising, is how they can pinpoint your personality with just survey information leading to their conclusions. (This sign is like this, that sign like that). And they can even predict future friendship or relationship issues and benefits between two signs.
It's not all 100% accurate, but for some reason, it's accurate most of the time. Astrology... :/
Anyway, yeah, it's an awesome signature. lol.

Horoscopes are just general statements that give the illusion that someone is being told something from a higher power, much like other spiritual advice. Psychics for example ask vague questions about someone that most normal people can relate to, such as a dead relative or financial struggle, in order to persuade them to do something productive to counter act their struggle.

Well I've read all about the psychological phenomena that psychics play on that allows them to hit their target just about every time. It's all simple stuff, and easily mimicked, but with Astrology, they take surveys of thousands and thousands. I can read the descriptions for every sign other than mine, and none will match me as well as Scorpio does. I'm sure that's not true for every Scorpio, but all of this data shows patterns.
We don't know why those patterns exist, there's no way we can explain it with science or philosophy, at least not that I know of, but they do exist.
Day to day horoscopes are a bunch of bologna though...
