Say for example one reads the daily Horoscopes printed by the Washington Post in D.C. on their website for April 13th.  If the guy reading it is in Seoul, Korea for example, where the time is 12 hours ahead, does that mean that he should actually be reading "tommorrow's" daily , i.e. for April 14th, and is the horoscope only accurate for half a day?  Or is this inconsequential because horoscopes aren't designed to be so accurate by the astrologers who compose them.  Or, another possibility is that astrology is a hoax all along of course, but given that it is a topic of study by people who take it seriously, how is a "day" defined in specific astrological terms?

I have debated this once with another knowledgable person. We came to a conclusion that any calculation/prediction is applicable at only time. This time has different representations in different time zones.\nTo explain a little further. These effects are caused because of a planetary/celestial body movement. That happens at a particular instant (assuming a global time - ofcourse this is a violation of laws of relativity). So if the effects are predicted for 12 noon PST then it is valid in India at 12:30AM the following day and so on...

No, its all bulls**t!!!\n\nI have always been intrigued myself, sometimes the non-sense it says makes sense and it applies to your life but its just coincidence...  Nothing else.\n\nI had a friend that she believed in that crap and she will read her horoscope and go almost every other week to a 'card-reader' to get her cards read and for advise, she had some health problems and marital problem as as well... she went to this lady about 2 or 3 times a month (according to my friend, the card reader was always on-point) Well, my friend had health problems as well and this lady always told her not to worry about it she will be OK, she will eventually be happy and not to worry about it.. she always told her that by the time she was 30 years old her life will get better and she will be happy- her happiness will only come after her 20's.   Well, my friend passed away at 27!    \n\nEver since then, i just don't believe none of that non-sense- Horoscopes, card-reader, spiritual advisors, whatever its called, its only for entertainment-  NOT TRUE!!

The horoscopes based on Sun signs in the newspaper are BS. Honestly.  All astrologers who know anything about astrology will tell you this.\n\nTo make your own horoscope you need to learn the basic methods of astrology. Most astrologers make use of the chart. I suggest going to http://astro.com , making an account (it's free unless you want extra features), and entering your birth data. It will calculate your natal chart and once you know how to read it, it will be MUCH more accurate.\n\nIf you're so inclined, buy a couple of astrology books and get into it. It's fun stuff. :)

Hmmm I'm not sure but since astrology doesn't bother to correct itself for the fact that the constellations have drifted one full sign over the lat 2000 years....\n\nMy fortune cookie seems to back me up on this.

If someone did guess correctly, that's all it would be  -  just a guess.  Astrologers/psychics  get forecasts right sometimes simply because they can't guess wrongly all the time!

At the first time I didnt understoon ur question and I thought that you're telling that astrology is B.S. and i wrote something harsh, sorry for that.\n\nnow, to predict for anyone an astrologer needs three details :\n1) Full BirthDate (dd-mmm-yy)\n2) Birth time\n3) birth place(city, state, country / Longitude-Latitude of ur region)\n\n      As far as your moon sign goes, well, Moon is Deblited in Scorpio. So, scorpions think too much as they have two thoughts on every decision they take. Moreover, Moon is the Lord of Cancer. So, being deblited in Scorpio, it gives negetive result of that house which has cancer sign in ones horoscope. Ofcourse there are many rules regarding this. \n\n    If you want proper reading then you can give me three details of urs.

Yeah horoscopes are really silly. And it's like if you read two different papers and two different magazines then you will have 4 different horoscopes... and people actually believe it...\n\nFor that person above, religion is something totally different.

This is something that I have wondered about myself.  What's even more annoying is how people who follow the horoscopes make generalizations about those that fall into a particular sign.  For example, a friend of mine truly believes that all cancers (like myself) are overly emotional and jealous.  I think that is total crap because 1) personalities are different, and 2) as you mentioned before, you cannot learn/discover much about a person by just knowing their birthdate, and 3) the whole idea is just plain stupid!  Wheew, glad I was able to get that out...(I apologize for the rant)...

Yes there is a formula for working it out. They do not actually remember every date and day. I have it in one of my books, I'll find it and add it here later.\n\nHere's a link to site that does the calculations.\nhttp://216.109.124.98/search/cache?p=how+do+i+work+out+what+a+day+of+the+week+was&prssweb=Search&ei=UTF-8&meta=vc%3D&fl=0&fr=ush-ans&u=www.nightmare-relm.co.uk/guest/birth.php&w=work+day+week&d=VgBk9JIFNyTS&icp=1&.intl=uk\n\nI'm still checking my books for the formula\n\nRight I'm back. I've found the answer. I\nYou have to memorise a lot of codes for different days and  months. It's too complicated to write here and I'm not sure that so-called "mindreaders" would be too happy if I gave away the secret.\n\nYou can by a CD with instructions on how to do it.\nhttp://www.world-of-magic.co.uk/magic.asp?id=16568\n\nSorry I couldn't be more help

It mainly affects which horoscopes you should read.  The rising sign is just as important as the Sun sign, and sometimes more so.  You need to read Aries as well as Virgo.\n\nHoroscope forecasts are written as if each sign is in the rising position (the "9 o'clock" on a horoscope chart).  Houses are arranged counterclockwise:  the second house is at "8 o'clock," the third house is at "7 o'clock," and so on.  If you're a Virgo with Aries rising, Aries is at "9 o'clock" (first house) and Virgo is five signs away at "4 o'clock" (sixth house).\n\nHoroscope forecasts describe events that relate to planetary activity in the houses.  They'll often describe the effect of a particular planet on each of the signs, and the planet will affect each sign in different ways.\n\nLet's say the day's forecasts talk about a planet that's currently in Saggitarius.  In a Virgo forecast, this would affect the person's home and family life, since Sagittarius is on usually on the cusp of the fourth house of a chart with Virgo rising.  This forecast would only be relevant to people of *any* sun sign with Virgo rising, but not Virgos with a different rising sign.  \n\nA person with Aries rising (and *any* sun sign) would read the Aries forecast.  That same planet in Sagittarius would affect the Aries forecast differently:  The forecast would likely describe travel, higher education, or religion, since since Sagittarius is on usually on the cusp of the ninth house of a chart with Virgo rising.  This forecast would only be relevant to people of *any* sun sign with Aries rising, but *not* Aries people with a different rising sign.\n\nThis is why you need to read the chart for your rising sign (Aries), so that you get the correct effect of the planetary activity in question.\n\nHope this helps.

For the most accurate reading, it is best to ask a professional astrologer who is able to calculate your personal charts and interpret it for you in detail.  \n\nAnother way is to click on the 1st link below and fill in the appropriate spaces to have your chart done professionally.  It is free but if you do not understand how to read it, you once again will have to seek out a qualified astrologer. (Much better than Astrology.com in my opinion.)  \n\nKeep in mind that you WILL need both of the dates and exact TIME and places of your births otherwise this will be a sensless endeavor. (1st link)\n\nAlso, Chinese astrology is VERY good in determining your compatability.  Usually people born within a 4 year span from each other hit it off very well....but again that can change depending on your star signs.... (2nd Link)\n\nIndian astrology also puts another interesting twist in the scenario.....this goes by the position of where the Moon was during your births verses the sun. (3rd Link)\n\nI found combining All astrology together is the best way.  You be the judge.\n  \nHope this helps a little....\nGood Luck to you...\n\n:) \nPeace!

Yes, Indian literature is full of references to the 'Sharada Sashi' [Spring's moon], and the 14-day long festival of LOVE which ends on the 'Sharada Poornima' [Full moon of Spring] day.\nIt is also recorded that young men and women [both married, and un !] used to come out in groups - and enjoy themselves quite publicly - along the banks of rivers, or on the seas' shores !\nThanks to 'western' influences, we have forgotten all that - and imagine that we need a Valentine's Day to express our hearts' desires !\nAnd worse, all those self-appointed 'guardians' of our Indian subcontinent's 'culture' go about bashing-up and terrorising harmless young lovers [in typical 'western' style !] - conveniently forgetting that it was India who first initiated a healthy intermingling of boys and girls, to neutralise the frustrations that such 'isolationist tendencies' can generate !\n...Hey guys 'n gals, how about getting the whole wide world to celebrate the Spring Moon festival ?! Unlike St Valentine's Day, it will last an entire fortnight !
