Horoscopes may seem fascinating and sometimes even "accurate," but they have serious limitations. The expert highlighted five reasons why one should not blindly rely on the predictions of the stars.

1. There Are No Absolute Guarantees
A horoscope is based on the position of the Sun at the moment of your birth, but this is just one of many variables. The planets, the Moon, the houses of the horoscope — all of this can drastically change the picture. Therefore, a general horoscope for your sign may be true 70% of the time, or it may be true only 20% of the time.
2. Who Wrote It?
When reading a horoscope online or in a magazine, it's hard to verify the author's competence. A professional astrologer is a rarity. A novice or a charlatan can say anything. Blindly believing every prediction means giving control of your life to someone else's interpretation.
3. The Future Is Variable
Any forecast is just a probabilistic scenario. The inability to account for all random events and personal decisions makes predictions conditional. In life, we create events ourselves, not the stars.
4. Astrologers Make Mistakes Too
Even an experienced specialist works with symbols and interpretations, where much depends on subjective views. Mistakes or misinterpretations are possible, which means that even the most "accurate" horoscope is not the ultimate truth.
5. Responsibility for Your Life Is Yours
Think about why you need horoscopes? Deep down, every person understands: we build our own destiny. Any decision, big or small, is our personal responsibility. Horoscopes are just entertainment, not a guide to action.
