Salvador Gutierrez P7 Sep 20-24

This week we talked about horoscopes and if they are true or not. Honestly, I was really surprised that they were not true, but then I understood why. I believed in the zodiac signs since the descriptions of the horoscope seemed correct, but I did not realize that I also related to other horoscopes. For example, I am a Scorpio but I also have the same likes as the Cancer and the same dislikes as a Libra. Another reason why I understand why horoscopes aren’t true is because it makes no sense how depending on the month you are born in, that determines your personality. When your personality is determined by your parents‘ personalities. The only reason that people believe that the zodiac signs are true is because the descriptions of each sign are too vague, don’t go into too much depth about someone’s personality, they give simple traits that most people have in common: liking hobbies, children, disliking hunger, being taken advantage of, tyranny, etc. That way, there’s a higher chance that the person will relate to their horoscope. And the advice given to the horoscopes are the same as well, they give vague advice, common and simple advice that will; most likely help the person no matter what horoscope they are. And it also doesn’t make sense how we are assigned planets, rocks, and animals or some other symbol. People can go ahead and still follow the zodiac signs and read the horoscope articles in magazines, but they must realize that there is more to them than their very limited and vague horoscope.
