A certain breed of people have a daily or weekly regimen of checking their horoscope.  For those who don’t know what a horoscope is, it’s a “forecast of a person’s future, typically including a delineation of character and circumstances, based on the relative positions of the stars and planets at the time of that person’s birth.” According to Google.com.

   All information about zodiac signs can be found at Horoscope.com.

   Someone reading their horoscope may think it has to be totally random, made-up information, while others believe every piece of the information they read about their sign.

   There are twelve different horoscopes,categorized by the month and day that you were born on.

   Leos are born in August and are known for how they enjoy being in control of every situation. They are also kind and caring.

   “I shock easily but I do enjoy to be in control of everything around me,” said Leo senior Lauren Selbach.

   However, these characteristics aren’t true for everyone.

   “I was born in August, but I don’t see myself as a person who needs to be in control of my environment. I am more ‘go with the flow’,” said senior Kylie Correll.

   Selbach and Correll are complete opposites even though they have the same zodiac sign.

   “My birth month is June, and I fall under the sign of a Gemini,” said freshman Leah Boone. “I find myself in certain situations where I feel mentally gifted and my attitude can definitely change on a dime.”

   Boone has the characteristics of a Gemini, but she doesn’t always agree with weekly news feeds that share her horoscope for the week.

   The truth of zodiac signs seems to be about a 50-50 chance of people having the exact, or even some, of the characteristics a zodiac sign says they should have.

   “I’m a Taurus, and I find myself being more outgoing and very talkative as well as having Taurus’s characteristics of being reliable and ambitious,” said sophomore Sarah Diemel.

   Every sign is just a vague generalization of things that may or may not happen to you during the week or month, often having to do with the set and rotation of the moon.

   That is why some people believe that horoscopes have no true accuracy. There are many contradicting ideas of the accuracy of horoscopes. There is no true science behind the idea of horoscopes.

   Some statistics show that only 33 percent of all Americans actually believe in astrology, along with 75 percent of those Americans being women. Now these statistics are not meant to change the minds of the readers only to inform you on the accuracy. If you type in astrology on Google, over 2,000 different sites come up.

   Your sign not only shows your characteristics but also the outlook of the week, month or even year. There are even ways to find the compatibility of two different signs. If you are really into it you can find out what kind of tree you are. I’m an Apple Tree because my zodiac sign is Cancer. Find your tree with the DailyHoroscope App.

   There are apps and websites that people can check, and Cosmopolitan releases their own showing of your sign every Monday on Snapchat for free.

   Since there is no true science to confirm all of this information, people must find their own belief in astrology. Either you will believe it or you won’t.
