How should i say? Horoscope have always been hot around the world. Despite that, I still think believing in this, is pure bullshit.

Astronomy arose from the division of the northern hemisphere night sky in the ancient times into twelve regions of thirty degrees each. The twelve regions were namely Aries(Ram), Taurus(Bull), Gemini(Twins), Cancer(Crab), Leo(Lion), Virgo(Virgin), Libra(Scales), Scorpio(Scorpion), Sagittarius(Archer), Capricorn(Goat), Aquarius(Water carrier) and Pisces(Fish). Apart from this twelve regions, there one more which most people are still not aware and it's called Ophiuchus(Serpent Holder)= 30Nov to 17Dec. Well, for most of the time once allocated to Scorpio, the sun now actually rises in a constellation which is the Ophiuchus~ Roughly, two thousand years ago, when the zodiac(sun signs) was created, the sun rose in Aries at the march equinox. Now the sun rises in Pisces at the same equinox. This is due to the fact which it is pointing in a cycle of about twentyfive thousand and eight hundred years.This is referred to as the precession of the equinoxes.

The dates given in magazines , newspapers and books are what your star signs would have been had you been born two thousand years ago. The one we are using now is the julian calendar rather than the Gregorian.

The type of reading you find in books and newspapers, they say, is just superficial generalisation. But that is what many people accept. "I'm a really typical Gemini" and "He's just like that because he's a Sagittarius". If there are no common features among those within a given sign of the Zodiac, then doesn't the star sign become irrelevant.

When i first read about the horoscope at elementary school days, it felt so happening to me in reality without realise its pure bullshit. You see, when u first read the horoscope, you react to what the horoscope wants you to do in order to avoid bad karma or something. If you never follow or follow, the result will still be fixed. Just that is either good or bad. But it may not happened to both often. So it is not particularly acurrate. Then its BULLSHIT! Example. Cancer~
An emotional and sensitive sign. They tend to be home loving and family oriented. They like security and safety. Displaying an innate ambition they take a safer, more subtle path toward goals. Success is important but is balanced by their caring for others. They may appear to have a hard exterior, but are very soft inside. They have an unexpected tenacity and a deep and complex personality with which they hide their vulnerability. This can lead them to be very moody, their defensiveness often mistaken for shyness. Although a little prone to self-pity they display enormous compassion for others.
They are born for the nurturing careers => social work, nursing, childcare and the service industries. Their tenacity makes them good in business, and their love of food, history and the sea often leads them to a career linked with one of these
Take note particularly in the next description and you will know what am i talking about~
It is weird but your social life and your private life are diverging pretty strongly right now. They "SHOULD" spend some time thinking about it - chance to bring them back in line is coming up
So this people stubbornly accept and follow.

During the year 1997, the astrologiers predicted that there is a star falling to the earth. When we look at the stars, it look small to us. BUT, do you know star's size is about 1/4 of the earth surface? So if it will to happened, will i still be here writing blog for viewers to read? In year 2006, the astrologiers predicted again saying that it will happen 40 years later. i would not say that it will not happened but it just reminds me of a nursery story ' The Boy Who Cried Wolf '.

Humans always 'thinks' that this is this. Remember this, somethings are beyond our mind thinking. In the world, there's more opinion than fact. In the case of horoscope, they are 'fixed' opinion and not fact. Horoscope is just a matter of believe and following.

The race chinese are particularly auspicious on their horoscope. They 'believe' that horoscope direct them to know who they are really from which i find it stupid. My reason is simple, chinese thinks that they are from an animal among the twelve animals in the horoscope.Then animals refers to our 'Gods'? Bullshit! Again I must stressed the word 'think'. They THINK that this is true because in there are several things true to them in terms of horoscope. The more stupid believe is that the your behavior is somehow same as the animal in the horoscope. So we were once animals? LOLs.. This is sort of degradation, humiliating us as chinese.

So what happen to those people who will born in feb 29? Bad Karma? Bad Luck? After they died, their soul just vanish?

Conlusion:
Shouldn't we be working hard towards our goals, so that success is achieved? If we are dislike by some people, shouldn't we change ourselves to become a better person in life? Hey! Sometimes,things does not follow the way you want. Everything that you do, have it's consequences. Thats life is all about and not 'believe' things that are irrelevant. Just be more positive....

I concur.
Most horoscope fanatics are either teenager girls that lack of love or blatant reality escapist.
It's alright to believe, but it's retarded to use Horoscope as an guidebook of life.
It shows one's shallow side.

Still, one must admit that horoscope is some knowledge that a guy must possess in a way or another to get closer to girls. Like an essential bridge or something. Haha.

Anyway, decent post if it was entirely composed by yourself.
Esp the second paragraph. Well structured and choice of words was good.
However, the word bullshit should be used moderately. Unless in jest then it's a different story. lol

Ok, I am sorry for the triple post.

On your final point with Chinese and zodiac. Its zodiac not horoscope
I don't think your idea on it is entirely clear.
And I have some points I would like you to receive.

I don't think that Chinese actually believes that they used to be their representing zodiac.
At most, they believe that they hold characteristic of their own zodiac.
Still, this might not be a bad thing after all.

Taking the bull zodiac as an example.
We all know that bulls are typically referred to be obstinate and unyielding.
Assuming that one is born in the year of bull. And this particular guy here is having a communicating barrier with other of his colleagues.
So in this case, regardless of being true or not, one might utilise this known fact and try to change his usual obstinate self.
Like this, he might me more well like by colleagues as he is more welcomed to others opinions. And this might aid him in his career.

Finally, most of the time Chinese simply uses zodiac on how will their luck/love factor be in the subsequent month/year/week.
