You'll find it's wrong because newspapers and many astrology sites do what's called - to put it in layman's terms, sunsign astrology. What that basically means is that they assume everyone born on a given day is born at noon. I mean, let's face it, they can't possibly calculate or print a horoscope for everyone born every minute and every second of every day, now can they? That would take up an entire newspaper or website in itself. To get a more accurate reading, read the horoscope for your rising sign, which narrows down the time of birth and makes it more accurate. For example, if you were born between noon and 2:00 today, providing there were no interceptions in your chart, depending on your latitiude and longitude of birth, and exact time, chances are you would have Aquarius rising. If you were to read that horoscope you would find it would be far more accurate than reading the horoscope for Scorpio.

Ok, honestly: any sun sign horoscope from any of the major webites (Yahoo!, MSN, whoever) are usually crap. They are waaay too generalized. I mean, think about it, if you're reading a horoscope for a Gemini, not every single Gemini in the world is going to be having that kind of day predicted. What about the Geminis who have a strong Cancer influence on their chart? Maybe they're having a day more like a Cancer would.
Don't worry about misinterpreting it. Most of them are so bad that I think they're worded the way they are so that people will think "Well, it sounds smart...must be true...but I don't get it!"
I hope this helps you. Trust me, it's not you :)

I think of horoscopes as being like that little line they put at the end of movie credits, "Any resemblance to persons or events real or imagined is strictly coincidental."
There's nothing to interpret. Taking them at face value, if anything in your horoscope actually happens that day, then whoopidy-doo. Just a coincidence.

I'm not intending to insult you. But in order to interpret your horoscope, also see 'Load of Crap'.
Don't let the advise of false spiritualists control your future. They can only guess about it.

They are written purposefully vague so that they apply to almost anyone and appear to match all kinds of different circumstances. Take them with a grain of salt.

This is how you interpret it. It is crap. The stars have nothing to do with your life. Period. It is just another scam to try to get you to spend money, just like tarot cards, palm reading, and fortune tellers.
