It actually makes me & my wife wonder about the accuracy

By giving vague BS answers. I can give you an example if you like. Before I do, also know that if you read your horoscope everyday and believe it is true, you will adapt your day to make the horoscope come true.
Your BS horoscope.
Your gentle and kind personality will have a conflict today. Make sure you immediately resolve this conflict with the person. Tonight watch the stars and then a good night sleep. You will meet someone tomorrow.
This could apply to anyone. It would be the same thing if I told you that within the next three days you will probably breathe, sleep, eat, blink, and talk. You might even go to the bathroom.
This answer is not a slam on you but on the scam of horoscopes.

Horoscopes in daily venues are generally very vague, and only a good ammount actually use astrology to make their predictions.
what happens is there is an assumption that the cusp of your first House is right on the cusp of your sun sign. in which case if the majority of your horoscopes are wrong or slightly innacurate then you probably have a different Ascendent (cusp of the first house).
they do this to generalize it for the masses, you can go to http://www.astro.com for a more personalized horoscope (Uses Transits) or you can get an astrologer to look at your "Transits". in which they take your entire birth chart into consideration and see how the current position of the planets are interacting with it.
and remember nothing is in absolutes it can only show you what you are more likely to be thinking doing or feeling. like fleeting moods, fleeting thoughts, streaks of ambition or iritability .. etc.. they usualy wont say "you will run into a 100$ bill on the sidewalk"

Horoscopes are random, but I know what you mean. I'll check my horoscope at the end of the day just for the fun of it, and it will describe exactly how my day is. I don't get it, but I've stopped reading it because it's began to completely weird me out.

It's random. They throw out all these general statements. If you beleive your mind will try to make it fit. If you don't well there's not much they could do to make you. :) Like they could say "you will experience some difficult times today in regards to your relationship." If you beleive...even if your not in a relationship, you'll go "oh they mean with my family/friends." If you don't beleive you'll laugh or shrug it off. They are playing the odds. millions upon millions of people could be born within that time frame. I imagine at one point or another it is going to match someone. It's a "shotgun" meathod. They're statements are so general they are bound to be true for someone.

your horoscope like all the others has something in it that EVERYONE can relate to.
i wouldn't put to much faith in it. its about as general as possible. but i'll tell you what when it mentions your name and the place and the time and exact etc etc. then i'd put faith in it. use it for fun-but don't make decisions off of it-you'll regret it.

Horoscopes are generally vague in their descriptions and forecasts, and since you want to believe it, it may seem accurate.

They use statements that are true in everyday life, so they don't seem like they are lies. like "an old friend will contact you today" it could be your boss who doesn't ever talk to you, or a friend next door...really just general statements

Yeah, my mom could asnwer this better than i can but it's really weird how our personalities and minds are somehow attatched to the moon and sun, isn't it? i'm really into astrology and i DEFINITELY believe in it, no question. My horoscopes are almost always correct. it's really weird to me also! it can get really technical with the planets and moon and things, and people spend their lives making the connection between people and our galaxy.

They make statements that could be true for a lot of people. They're very general.
