Badly actually. But, I can interpret events of my life to make it fit. Then, that works for all 13. I think I'll just live in denial. I'm only off by 5 days. I'll pretend I never heard of this new thing and continue to claim Sagitarius. Foolish attitude perhaps, but hey, they're only horoscopes.
Well, when you think about it, horoscopes never had any real basis in fact, anyway. Why bother living in denial, when you can just figure it's mostly BS anyway?
It is pretty much all bs. It's stuff like this, 13th sign business and all, that proves it doesn't stand up to decent scientific inquiry.
For example: Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and *mysterious recently discovered planet-like object* are all fairly recent additions to the whole thing, but pre-discovery astrology never even slightly indicated the existence of these planets. If it actually did work the way it is reported to, there would have been discrepancies in it that were resolved by the discovery of said planets.
I'm Scorpio, but the only part I really like is pluto. Come on. It's small, cold, dark, and gives astronomers fits trying to figure out what it is. An excellent metaphor. :-D Anything that annoys people is good by me.

That's about all that is fun about the star-signs. I like the idea that Aquarius is somehow connected with Uranus. I like that fact... other than that it is bs.
That's how the palm-readers and fortune-tellers and the like make their money by the way. Everyone gives away tiny clues about themselves even without saying a single word. That, coupled with things that most people want to hear, and things that could fit just about everyone is the con-artists bread and butter.

Dunno, I had my palm read when I was about twenty, and most of it came true!
J. M. Pescado:
That's because it was sufficiently vague or obvious that it probably would come true.
Sandilou:
I've never had my palm read and don't want to have it done after a work colleague of mine freaked me out; she had on two different occasions gone to get her palm read; The first palmist looked at her palm then refused to give her a reading. A few years later she again went to a palmist, who looked startled at what she'd seen then told her that sometimes it better not to know and refused to give the reading.
