Before my project, I used to hold open minded attitude towards horoscope, and I did not even know if I believed it or not because sometimes I did, sometimes I didn’t. However, I read it whenever I saw it on newspaper. After 14 days of my experiment about being faithful horoscope watching and practicing daily, I had a different understanding of horoscopes. If you ask me “Do you believe in horoscope?” now, my answer will be “No, I don’t.” No one or no a kind of knowledge can predict future and life.
In the 14 days, I was a faithful horoscope watching and then practiced it in life daily, but I didn’t see any help and luck it brought me. Besides the fact that I didn’t even win a dollar in my lottery experiment included in this project, I also did a little statistics myself about the result of the horoscopes in the fourteen days to convince myself. After all things happened, I can evaluate the accuracy when I look back now. I summarize my daily horoscope and conclusion of the day:
3/1: kind of agree/disagree with the daily horoscope
3/2: disagree with the daily horoscope
3/3: disagree with the daily horoscope
3/4 totally disagree with the daily horoscope
3/5: kind of agree/disagree with the daily horoscope
3/6: kind of agree/disagree with the daily horoscope
3/7: kind of agree/disagree with the daily horoscope
3/8: agree with the daily horoscope
3/9: disagree with the daily horoscope
3/10: disagree with the daily horoscope
3/11: agree with the daily horoscope
3/12: totally disagree with the daily horoscope
3/13: kind of agree/disagree with the daily horoscope
3/14: kind of agree/disagree with the daily horoscope
What I get is 6/14 shows neutral result (part of the horoscope is right, part of it is wrong), 6/14 shows negative result (the horoscope is wrong), and only 2/14 shows positive result (the horoscope is right). This is totally out of my expectation when I was expecting I might get 50% is right and 50% is wrong after omitting the 6/14 of neutral result. The data convinces me that it is no use practicing your daily horoscope in life since life is just that unpredictable.
Take what I did on 3/6 as an example, as suggested by my daily horoscope, I was planning my trip to Japan in summer with my friend Olivia. We checked the tickets, looked up online to search hotels, and discussed about where to go shopping in Tokyo. Then the disastrous earthquake happened on3/11. We were shocked and sorry for Japanese, and without doubt, our trip must be canceled. I am not saying that it is a pity not be able to travel Japan, what I say is that nothing can predict what will happen in the future. Even the precision instruments and machines can’t predict the earthquake is coming, how can fortune tellers tell you who will be your husband in the future?
Therefore, after lots of research I did for this project, I learnt more about horoscope. According to my understanding, horoscope is a figurative analysis of the positions of all the planets in the zodiac, for a specific place, and for an exact time and date. This means, that any person’s horoscope, is based on the planetary positions according to their place of birth, date of birth, as well as the precise time of birth. However, the planets in the universe keep moving constantly. Compared to their positions with those the ancient Greek astrologers observed 2000 years ago, they are totally different now. A new planet move into the zodiac and the 12 old planets were not in their original place any more. That is why there are actually 13 zodiacs nowadays as I mentioned in my first post on 3/1.
In my opinion, horoscope might be accurate 2000 years ago, but it is not credible now. It is instead, the trick that the fortune tellers and those who believe and support astrology use to public in order to maintain their profits before they find a new tool and doctrine to supper the current 13 zodiacs theory. Some people tend to use horoscope as an excuse for their failures. For example, when people get their failed mid-term back, they might blame that horoscope says that day is not their day instead of realizing this is the result of not preparing enough. You have to know that you are the only who control what kind of life you have. Although horoscope predicts that you may pick $100 bill on the floor in a Chinese restaurant, it is definitely not going to happen if you insist to stay home. Which means no matter what horoscope tells you or suggests you to do, you are the only controller of your life.

To all who follow my blog, you should trust yourself, and use your hands to change your destiny, instead of following your horoscope and letting it decide what your fate will be.
