Everyone knows a horoscope is used to forecast futures and a person’s character based on the position of stars & planets at the time of their birth.

Yeah, whether or not that is true is a toss-up.

Some believe.  Others don’t.

But mostly horoscopes are enjoyed for entertainment with a dash of hope thrown in for flavor.
