People actually refer to themselves and others by their sign and think that's the root of their problems...

I think that people born within certain signs exhibit similar personality quirks. Not all will, but enough do as to keep the idea of horoscopes popular.
I believe in astrology, but there's so much more to it that our sun signs.

that's what the signs are supposed to do, provide the individual with generalities about the person born under the given sign. doesn't work well, but is an interesting basis for learning something.

People believe in horoscopes because they are EXTREMELY accurate.

For the same reason that they believe in god... they need to know that something other than them is in control of things.

I am quite annoyed with that right now. I was on vacation with my family last week, and my niece was carrying around a book on astrology the whole time trying to tell us all stuff about ourselves. Oy.

It's just something to talk about when you meet people
