Does anyone read their horoscope?

If so, where do you read them? Any websites you’d recommend?

No

I do. I like the Cainer horoscopes (I have the app)

No, but a sudden freak seized me the other night and I went on one of those websites that calculates your birth chart and was quite perturbed by how closely the resulting profile matched my personality. Actually, all my immediately family correspond closely to their star signs although I don't believe there's anything in it. I just find it fun to look sometimes Smile

There's a fancy term that psychologists use for why this happens (seeing only what applies and filtering out what doesn't) but I can't remember what it is now.

Interested in this thread?

No, I think it's nonsense.

@idlenook What website is this?

ladybirdsarelovely33 · 03/12/2018 18:11

No it's made up.

Best taken with a large pinch of salt Wink

Yes it's fun and sometimes spot on

Don't want to piss on anybody's parade, but a journalist friend of ours once worked for a red top n/paper. We'd sit in the pub on a saturday lunchtime and help concoct his copy for the next week.....lots of pints and laughs later, it was doneGrin

(He then got work with the DT and the horror-scopes stopped. But the salacious (and mainly unprintable) stories of fun and frolics of the Royals) made up for the lossGrin

Good times....

Yes pinch of salt obviously. Just interested in where people read them. What was Stanely’s comment about??
