Do you constantly check out the horoscopes in magazines or on the internet? Do you ever base your week's plans around what your horoscope says? Do you discriminate against those who you date based on their sign compatibility? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this is the article for you!
Steps
- Convince yourself that horoscopes are just for fun and do not mean anything. Do this by following these steps:
- Check your horoscope (hopefully for the last time!)
- Look at what your horoscope says. Then look at a different sign's horoscope. Can they both be applied to you? Then try looking at all the different signs. See how general they are? At least a few can be applied to anyone- which proves that they are not legitimate at all.
- Think about your friend's signs. Do their personalities REALLY match the personalities that the horscope claims them to have? Do the people born in the same month as you act exactly like you? You will see that this is not the case - everyone has some stonger personality traits, but they don't necessarily correspond to what a "Leo" or "Taurus" is said to have.
- Look up the history of horoscopes, and see how they are just a pseudo-science. One of the dilemnas that horoscopes have always had is in the case of twins. Twins seldom have the same fortune and many have different styles and personality. If horosopes were real, they'd act exactly the same and have the same love life and fortune. This is simply not true!
- Think about any previous loves, and the people that you get along with very well. Do they all have the same sign (that is compatible with yours?) Not likely. Horoscopes cannot predict people's personality, and in turn, cannot predict people's compatibility with eachother. Chemistry is alot more complicated than the month when you were born!
- Think of how silly the concept really is whenever you read a horoscope. People born of the same month do not have the same personality, and you don't always see sparks with people who have a compatible sign. You will not have good fortune on a certain day because a magazine tells you so. Those magazines are just there to be fun and sell papers to people like you.
- Hopefully you have been convinced that horoscopes are not accurate. It will help if you just stop looking at them, and live your life on your own terms. Have fun, and don't worry about what a magazine column says!
Tips
- The majority of people do not believe in horoscopes. This may be an incentive to think of how silly you look to other people when they find out that you truly believe in them.
- Basing your life around horoscopes is destructuve to your life. If, after reading this article you just can't shake the belief in them, it may help to go to a therapist.
