Is it normal that my horoscope scares/pisses me off?

17 Comments

I always read my horoscope from the same site and have done for a few months. But recently it's been saying stuff that scares me. I admit to my love life being a bit crazy at the moment. A lot of shit has happened but we have pulled it together. But my horoscope keeps saying I am basically going to mess things up and it scares me. But why would I? And that pisses me off. Because it insults me with things like"You are your own worst enemy" and "You stir up emotions on purpose". Pretty sure I don't. If someone said that to my face I'd give them a piece of my mind!
I actually don't believe in horoscopes. But they get me a bit paranoid/scared due to my current love life situation. Then I panic and think well I have to change things! Or I even think i shouldn't talk to my man today in case I fuck it all up! Because according to my horoscope, I am just one big walking fuck up.
So IIN? That it makes me angry (not too pissed off but clearly pissed off enough to post) and scared, paranoid and worry about every action I take? Should I just stop reading horoscopes altogether? I thought they were fun but I feel like who's writing them is just there to take piss out of everyone who reads them.

    Newspaper/website horoscopes are like fortune tellers. They use very vague language which can be hooked into and applied to your own life. People fall into the trap of thinking they are personal because the zodiac puts you into an individual group. They're generic, for everyone who reads them, not for you personally.

    Try not to let it affect you.

      This, I had a professor of Psychology that tried explaining this to the class, but I don't think that the message really got through because some of them were still saying "But, my horoscope say dis nd it happend!".

      I realize this myself one day when I decided to read horoscopes for a bunch of friends of mine. The vagueness of the language is quite interesting but nothing that damn near every institution has ever done since the dawn of time.

    Don't even worry about it. Keep in mind that what horoscopes say is always very general and could apply to anyone. Try reading horoscopes that aren't yours and I'm sure you'll find that what they say in others could also apply to you. There is no evidence of them actually being true and is basically a big scam.

    Horoscopes= a newspaper or Website hungry for publicity. Every time you read it you read it again, and again, and again. That means, Mr Horoscope gets about 2.50 off about 1 million people every day. Which means, Mr Horoscope is writing a load of bullshit in his Ferrari parked outside his fucking huge mansion. DO YOU GET MY POINT HERE?

    Most horoscopes arent written by looking at the stars but just thinking what would be common and suitable for alot

    I stopped reading "mine" cause it's bull, on one site it would say the opposite of another plus it makes you depict your days by what it says, if it doesn't make you happy don't do it, I stopped getting curious... It's a bunch of crap... Trust me

    Find a different astrologer. I don't read my horoscope very often but I enjoy freewillastrology.com.

    One must remember, it is not likely for the exact same thing to happen to a whole group of people. For example: I am a Virgo. If my horoscope tells me that I'm going to win big bucks to day, what are the odds that every Virgo in the world is also going to happen to me. It's alittle odd that we all have the sme outcome because our birthdays are around the same time. Just remember, horoscopes are fun to read, but likely not true.

    Many people read horoscopes because they are afraid ilof what may happen next. Life will happen rather or not you read your horoscope. Don't let it destroy you or stop you from living. Just live. Life will unfold itself, so stop reading your horoscope everyday and start to live life! :)

    It's best to ignore tv and newspaper horoscopes, because those are usually full of shit. 'Tis much better to get books on the zodiac.
