Measuring the Truth of Horoscopes
Noureen Ben Halim
Many of us are attracted to the unknown, mainly uncovering the future in ways such as superstition, reading the future, birth signs, and horoscopes. Some people are addicted of reading their horoscope everyday online or in the newspaper. People have argued for a long time whether horoscopes are made up for the purpose of people’s entertainment. Others say that star reading can reveal a great deal about one’s personality and how one’s life will turn out. Those people claim that what they read in their horoscopes turns out to be astonishingly true.

People who read their horoscopes are seen as superstitious, believing in occult ways of uncovering the truth, like Palm reading, and
Tarot reading. A person may cross a black cat or break a mirror and they think that they will have seven years of bad luck. The prophecy of 666 or the Anti-Christ prophecy says that something or someone will appear that will reverse God’s plan for the world. People justify that the prophecy of 666 has been fulfilled by saying that a certain person like a political leader, or a television in the house, are examples defying God’s will by corrupting the world. Does science play a role in making these things, specifically horoscopes, real? The answer is no. Some people say that star reading is made to spark the fear of the unknown in people’s lives and to excite them that something great is about to happen. However, many people always tie what they read into their lives somehow, even if it has nothing to do with them. The reality of horoscopes will always be a debatable issue, since both sides have truth in them.
A situation becomes ironic when people turn their day into one that is destined by their star sign. For example, a girl is having a bad day. She reads her horoscope. It says, “It is possible that something happens to shake up the way that you view life.” She will start tying this sentence to her life in any way she can. It is still debatable whether people should guide their lives using horoscope reading, or dismiss the idea. Should science be the only way to prove things we do not understand? Or should we trust our instincts and go by what we read?
