A well written horoscope is an art of balancing vagueness and specificity. It can sometimes be very fun to read them, especially when they’re also written with a sense of humor.
Astrology, however, is nonsense. If you want to explore it for shits and giggles, fine, but people who treat it seriously drive me batshit.
I voted silly, but was on the cusp of harmful. I think they can be fun, like fortune cookies but when people buy too much into them and begin to analyze other peoples’ they become stereotype-like and lead to unfair assumptions.
It really irritates me when people try to use them as a shortcut to understand others, but as a curiosity I can see the amusement
My twin brother fully agrees with his horoscope and follows it everyday for great success. It is always wrong for me and here I am relegated to buying stuff on a daily deal website.
@hchavers A horoscope that is always wrong is just as useful as one that is always right in the same way that someone who always lies is as useful an information source as someone who always tells the truth!

How about 38 votes and only one complaint. What is the world coming to.

Yes. Yes they are.
I like the chinese zodiac most. Western horoscope I’m a slippery fish… But in the Chinese zodiac… I’m a Horse, of course.
@OnionSoup I’m an Ox, and I would say it is an accurate representation of my character
@OnionSoup @tinamarie1974 and some are dragon, monkey and mouse
I take horoscopes about as seriously as I would astrology.
Dumb and occasionally fun.

If you want to go deep, you can do primal astrology like Steven Yeun. Combine both Western and Chinese astrology and be a Marmot or Camel!

Utterly useless, except for Weird Al’s song “Your Horoscope for Today” That one is spot on!
