Yup.

Any horoscope that detailed is bound to get a few things right, which it did. But there's twice as much stuff in there which doesn't apply to me at all.

What fortune tellers do in an in-person reading is a technique called cold reading. They start with the most general thing and play off the person they're "reading"s reaction. It's not that hard to do.

Since I know this technique exists and is in common usage, I don't put too much stock in astrological charts. Sure they're fun but I don't take it as a serious source of information.
