Millions of people worldwide use zodiac horoscopes to learn about their future. There are 12 zodiacs according to birth date (sun signs) or Janma-Kundali (moon signs). We will consider the sun signs here for convenience.

After you know your sun sign, you can read your daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly horoscope on different websites as well as in newspapers. There are also many booklets that provide this information. Thousands of websites provide this service free of cost, and almost every newspaper in the world provides daily, weekly, monthly, and/or yearly horoscopes. If a newspaper stops publishing daily horoscopes, its sales decrease considerably. By this, you can understand the popularity of zodiac horoscopes.

But the question is, is it a trustworthy way to find our future?  Is there any other reliable way than a zodiac horoscope?  I do not think that this is a reliable way. I would try to prove my point in this article.

What is wrong with zodiac horoscopes?

Zodiac horoscopes are not individualized. Approximately 7 billion people live on the Earth and have 12 zodiacs. If we divide 7 billion by 12, approximately 0.6 billion people would belong to each zodiac. In that, there would be children, young men, women, old and middle-aged persons, handicapped people, etc. How is it possible that all the 0.6 billion people would have the same experience on that particular day or in a week, month, or year? It is entirely illogical to think so. Hence, it proves my point that zodiac horoscopes are useless.

Let us consider an example of Mr. A, who reads the zodiac horoscope daily in a leading newspaper, which is considered a reliable source. The birthdate of Mr. A is January 11, so his zodiac sign would be Capricorn.

Mr. A, on December 20, 2011, read that today, he would meet one of his old friends. Is it possible that all the 0.6 billion people would meet one of their old friends?  No, not at all. Most people would lead their way as they do regularly. They would not meet any of their old friends, but a few people might meet their old friends, but this percentage would be too small, and it could happen on any day. Therefore, this small percentage of people would start to believe in horoscopes and would not come to know or care about what has happened to the other 0.6 billion people in the world.

Inconsistencies in predictions:

Ideally, the rules for prediction by zodiac horoscopes should be the same, hence all the sources should show the exact prediction for the same day, but it does not happen. Different predictions exist in different newspapers, books, and/or websites. There is hardly any consistency among these predictions.

The same thing applies to the zodiac horoscope according to moon signs. That is why I say that a zodiac horoscope is a waste of time.

But if you use zodiac horoscopes along with birth charts, it can provide more accurate results than a zodiac horoscope alone. A birth chart or Kundali gives predictions depending upon an individual’s place, time, date, and day. Hence, it is much more individualized than zodiac horoscopes. Though the birth chart is also not entirely correct, its results are much more reliable than those of zodiac horoscopes alone.
