  Not really but I still like to read them for a bit of fun.
  I think they say a lot of general things that people can make fit to their lives if they want to believe in them. I also don’t believe that those things can happen to ALL the virgos/star sign in the world at the same time.

  Not at all
  But as a ♉ I would say that

  Horoscopes are merely someones interpreation of the positions of the Planets in the sky.
  If a horoscope says that Mercury is in Sagittarius on a particualr day – then yes it will indeed be in Sagittarius.
  But that does not mean that you will have a good or bad day etc..
  Even some 16th and 17th Century eminent astronomers belieived in horosopes – because that was what they got paid for by their patron – eg King – and they had to portray themselves as believers to get paid – even if they did not really believe in horoscopes.

  No. I think they are normally written in a general way so that they can apply to anyone. If they make you feel happy to read and don’t make any big decisions based on what they say they can be fun to read though 🙂

  Nope, but it is quite impressive the amount of effort that goes into some of these things.
  
  Scorpio here, in case anyone was wondering…
