Horoscope does not describe your personality French sociologist and statistician Michel Gauquelin, (considered, by the way, one of the founders neoastrologii) conducted a simple experiment. Through newspaper Ici Paris, he asked for volunteers to fill out a questionnaire and provide their name, date and place of birth. 150 people responded, and then sent to each of its very detailed horoscope. 94% of the lucky owners of the horoscope told that they were there depicted quite accurately, and this opinion was shared by their friends and relatives. This in fact Gauquelin sent the horoscope of a serial killer named Marcel Petiota, to kill 63 people. And almost everyone has taken his own.
Astrologers do not find you a husband Astrologers believe that they can help you choose a life partner. But in fact, this is nonsense. Psychologist Bernie Silverman from the University of Michigan in 2978 randomly selected couples and 478 divorced - and found no astrological correlations, either positive or negative. Ideal astrological couples break as often as astral complete opposites.
Stars do not make you president Physicist John MakGervi curiosity researched biography of 6475 politicians and 16634 scientists, paying particular attention to the date of their birth. Alas, no zodiac or planetary dependencies John found. In particular, he found among the politicians as much Dev, how many of them there among ordinary people, despite the fact that the Virgin considered a weak leader. And yet, as we know, the Virgin prone to soul-searching, depression and impotence.
Astrologers do not deliver you a diagnosis dissuade former astrologer Jeffrey Dean from Australia and Canadian psychologist Ivan Kerry held a large blind test, which was attended by 45 astrologers, self-confident and 160 test volunteers. Astrologers, based on the natal chart, were the most detailed account of the experimental.

It makes no sense to trust the predictions of astronomers George and Christina Culver Yenna followed the predictions made by astrologers for celebrities in the past ten years, and compared to their real life. It turned out that the astrologers have to "guess" only 10% of all events. Average reader of tabloids or fanboy would have coped with this task better.
Effective at random experimental physicist Shawn Carlson in 1985 conducted a double-blind test of astrology. Astrologers horoscope got 116 people composed by date and hour of birth. In addition, they received three describe the nature of each participant. The catch lies in the fact that the descriptions of the three belonged to one participant, the others talked about completely extraneous people. Astrologers had to determine which of the description refers to a horoscope. They managed to do that in 34% of cases - that is exactly the same result as if the test passed illiterate people blindly.
People see what they want to see There is a universal description of the person, invented by psychologist Bertram Forer and named after Barnum - the great circus adventurer. Forer gave it to students as a test (in this case stating that each student gets their own version) and asked each for a five-point system to evaluate how this text applies to him personally. The average score was 4, 26: almost all the students saw in the text itself. In fact, the text of virtually nothing, and contradicts himself - he is vague, but it seems profound. Fortune-tellers and astrologers use the same texts long before it formulated Forer. It is, in fact, is your horoscope. Here it is:
"You really need to other people you loved and admired. You are quite self-critical. Do you have a lot of hidden opportunities that you did not use to their advantage. While you have some personal weaknesses, you are generally able to neutralize them. Disciplined and self-assured in appearance, in fact you tend to worry and feel unsure ".
"At times you have serious doubts include as to whether you have made the right decision, or whether the right thing to do. Do you prefer some variety, the scope and limitations cause you displeasure. Also, you are proud of the fact that the idea independently; you do not accept others' statements at face value without sufficient evidence ".
"Do you understand that to be very frank with other people - not too wisely. Sometimes you are extroverted, affable, and sociable, sometimes - introverted, wary, and reserved. Some of your aspirations rather unrealistic. One of your main goals in life - stability ".
