Anyone know a really good horoscope website?
I am a dedicated reader of horoscopes, even when they make no sense its always a good feeling when you figure it out, and it helps out your day. the website i used to use was great, until it got flooded with ads, and just looks tacky now.
I was wondering if anyone knows a serious horoscope website that they trust, and this is for believers not any haters

I use shine.yahoo.com
It’s nothing too special, but always hits the dot :D.
My mother uses astro.com.
She uses some astrological data in her work and depends heavily on accuracy.
“horoscope website that [you] trust”
Does not compute.
Yeah, sorry, I would be one of the haters you didn’t want in here. I’m trespassing. Shoot me.
I just want to mention they’re just making it up. It’s not the word of the stars, just that of other people. With that said, I think you might be better off with a general advice site that does not pretend they’re basing what they say on what the stars look like from this vantage point.
I’m not here to hijack this thread. I won’t press the matter if you would prefer me just to shut up.
I agree @Fyrius, just want you to know you are not alone. I wonder why few people try to investigate alternative cause-effect models. The unborn baby’s hardwiring of the brain depends on the environment of the mother. Seasonal changes cause hormonal changes. That would make a lot of sense. Stars and planets have virtually no effect on unborn babies.
Astrology can be beneficial because of the placebo effect. Horoscopes should never cause nocebo effects. Superstitious beliefs about Friday the 13th cause real damage, see

If horoscopes did the same, we should sue the authors.
@mattbrowne
Hahaha. Thanks, mate.
Incidentally, I know I’m far from alone in this position. And it wouldn’t matter much if I were.
I think we’re a bit late for suing the original authors of astrology. They must have died several centuries ago.
But getting people who currently sell random speculation as reliable information in trouble, I’m all for that.
But let’s not turn this thread into an astrology bashing marathon.
No, I meant today’s astrologers publishing negative horoscopes giving people the creeps. But as far as I know this is rare. Horoscopes are meant to give people positive, uplifting feelings. Seize the day. Realize your potential. If Uranus can help you, so what. Some people need all the help they can get. Placebos work.
Okay, I’ve tried my best at not hijacking this thread. LIMITER RELEASED!
Yes, but…
It’s so belittling to just “let people have their placebos”. It’s like telling children about Santa Claus to make them behave, except you’re doing that with adults to make them feel better.
I think any sane adult should give the boring, unpleasant truth priority over the beautiful feel-good lies. Because “adult” means more than “over the age of 18.”
Doctors do prescribe red sugar pills. Of course it would be much better if astrology disappeared completely. But as long as it’s around positive horoscopes are better than negative ones. That’s all I’m saying.
All right, i think you guys need to start a thread that deals with hating on horoscopes
But doing it here is more fun. XD
Ahum. Sorry. I’ll behave.
I agree. So, no more of it here.
