Why do people still believe in astrology?

Question

"my choice" is a cop-out. I wear red, my choice, she murders, her choice, you're a creationist, your choice. He sent troops to invade Iraq, his choice. Doesn't answer why.

Answer 1

just because you don't, you mean?  feeling a bit self-centered today, are we?  :-)

Answer 2

probably 'coz astrology sometimes makes them happy by false truths..........................

Answer 3

i'm freaking myself out. i keep guessing people's signs right.

Answer 4

"my choice"... you wear red. Your choice. People choose to believe in Astrology. Their choice. I could ask you the same question: why do you wear red? Chances are you wouldn't be able to answer it. We could ask her why she murders. Chances are she wouldn't be able to answer it.

So why ask people to answer a question they likely cannot answer themselves?

(As for he who sent troops to invade Iraq, chances are likely that the reasons for his choice included something to do with oil...)

Answer 5

Feeling incomplete and searching for compensation. Due to ignorance and weak believe.

Answer 6

those who had their h'scopes analysed correctly are still getting true results as they used to get from  time immemorial..hence the belief..in this world.Is there any science or thing through which one can know his future correctly ?.whether true/false astrogy is only the one...hence u have no other choice..if u donot believe in astrology atleast believe in me.

Answer 7

The same reason people believe in God/Allah/Whatever, I guess.

Answer 8

Astrology works, but the stuff in newspapers and magazines are c**p.

If you have a full chart reading by a competent professional astrologer, using your personal birth chart, based on your birth date, birth time and birth place, including all of the planet, it is quite a different experience. You will find it is customized specifically to you and your strengths and weaknesses, and startling in its accuracy.

Or you could ignore it...  

Answer 9

Do you eat meat? I'm a vegan.  Why? My choice.

Answer 10

I think its just fun, I'm interested in astrology but I know its really just b.s.
