   If you are an astrology junkie like me, being told you have Asteroids in Uranus isn’t really what you want to know. http://www.psychic-junkie.com/astrology-junkie.html

   Certainly some readings are fake but then there are charlatans in every field.
   Many people do not believe that astrology can be real simply because they take a to simplistic view and only know as much as is printed in daily newspapers. These are vague and often do not take into account the many details relevent to each person. It is not just about the position of one plant at the time you where born but the position of many it relation to one another.

   Another reason many people may consider it ‘fake’ is if they expect to much from astrology. Astrology is not a way of prediciting the future and is not a definitive description of a person. But then neither is DNA!
   Even an expertly produced detailed astrological chart can only act as guidance and offer insight into a situation.

   Personally i faind true astrology to be quite accurate and certainly relevant to the world around us and ourselves as individuals.

   In my opinion, yes. Realistically, how can you expect the movement of Jupiter, for example, to influence your behavior on the day you were born? Jupiter is at best about 400 million miles from Earth when we’re both on the same side of the sun. When we’re on opposite sides, that becomes roughly 600 million miles. I’d bet that your neighbor’s car exerts more gravitational pull on you than Jupiter does. But nobody says that you’re a born leader because your neighbor drives a Benz, do they?

   Another thing to consider: James Randi has done a lot of work researching how people look at astrology. His most famous demonstration was to go to a college class, and hand out that day’s horoscopes to students based on their sign. Then they had to state whether they thought the horoscope was accurate or not in their eyes. Most said yes. Then they exchanged horoscopes with the person next to them, and found out that they all were looking at the exact same horoscope. Surprise, surprise! It turns out that most are written so generally and vaguely that people tend to read into them what they want to see, or they agree with the positive things written there. After all, who’s not going to agree with the description, "You are a born leader".
