Yes I think I do. I know several people who have said that the thing they FEAR most comes and visits them. That has certainly happened to me. Not sure that it works in reverse though, sadly. Think it is known as Job's prophecy.

Yes I do, because I have lived one. Sometimes, in-fact for me the majority of the time, people may believe that something bad will happen, or will go wrong and then the person who has these thoughts will inadvertently walk into creating the same situation that they did not want. For example, I was sitting an exam a few years ago and I told myself that I would fail. These thoughts kept in my mind and continued until the exam. When I walked in I was anxious and did not perform to my capabilities and did fail the exam, therefore completing my prophecy.

Yes I do believe these happen more often than people think because they don't always recognise them. I think its a lot to do with people not wanting to face up to reality, usually when they're talking about a negative outcome, eg he won't ever fancy me and then being so paranoid and awkward around him that you fulfil your own prophecy by acting differently but then don't acknowledge that you actually caused that outcome yourself but instead go down the "see I told you he'd wouldn't fancy me"
I don't doubt that I've done that plenty of times and I've seen plenty of people who've done it too

i could constantly ask your self approximately those people who have not got self assurance in astrology and how it impacts them. i understand a lot of none believers and yet they nevertheless have the tell tell traits of their indicators. i think of that contained while it comes to astrology, it does no longer do skeptics any solid to basically be taught people who have self assurance in it even though it may prepare lots greater to concentration especially on people who don't. i think what i'm attempting to assert is that if the guidelines of astrology could be seen in people who don't even have self assurance in it then it won't be able to be useful basically by way of fact of self-gratifying prophecies.

Course. If you believe in prophecy, you'll search it out. Life is what you make it, right?
