It's natural for people to look for confirmation.
If you dislike a person or an idea, you will see only negative aspects.
If you read your horoscope, you will tend to fit the actual events to the vague, non-specific descriptions in the horoscope.
If you really want to test it, you should not look for confirmation, but introduce a random element.
Have a friend cut away the dates of several days or weeks of horoscopes, and you must place them in order. Do you get it right?
Or have your friend cut away the starsign and you must choose which one described your day best - see if you get the correct sign.

Most of the horoscopes are so open it is easy to interpret them as being about you. If you want to test this out get some one to read out the horoscopes in random order then pick which one you think is the most relevant to you. If you pick the one that is your sign then maybe there is some truth in it.
One other thing to concider is that the star sign where created a couple of thousand years ago and heve moved since. You will most likely bee a different sign than you think you are. I think that most poeple are the sign after they one they are. Sure you can find your real sign somewhere on the web.

you can prove that (notice spelling "that" not dat) they are false by doing this little experiment. retype the horoscopes from the paper and change the signs they are listed for. then pass them out to your classmates and ask them if they feel the horoscope is accurate. since you have mixed them all up none SHOULD be accurate. however about 85% of people will say the horoscope is accurate,even when given the wrong one.

You can't it's the same with religion, spirituality and anything "paranormal" It's just a question of faith, if you truely believe then it become real for you personally. As for plain astrology I personally think it's just an set of generalised comments that pertain to all people at different times and if you're looking for an answer to a problem or feeling you'll probably be able to find a comment that fits in a horoscopre somewhere.

The problem is that the stars have moved quite a bit since horscopes were begun so they aren't as accurate as they would have been thousands of years ago.

First they are nonsense and secondly if they were real what difference would it make to anyone. I mean if a fortune teller told you would meet a tall dark stranger and that was right you would still meet a tall dark stranger even if you had not been told that
