I knew a witness who read her horoscope but always felt superior because she wasn't superstitious due to WT teachings.
What happens to JWs who read horoscopes?

I think I've got horoscopes kinda figured out. It seems the sun signs indicate something vague, like "communication," "rising," "secular," and the horoscope interpreters put some scenario together into story form that makes sense to them. like one might write, "you will get a positive review at work today." Another might say, "Be chatty with the person behind you at the store. You just might find you have something in common." And a third might say, "Be careful that your spiritual values don't slip to the background, as people around you will be preoccupied with secular gossip."
I find some more accurate than others, and by looking at horoscopes through the above understanding, find them overall to be pretty decent. Except for the one-liner newspaper ones. They're pretty much just a joke.
It also seems that I am just a bit ahead of my horoscope ... today's horoscope almost always describes something that happened yesterday. Which does me no good, really, but is highly entertaining.
I figure horoscopes have been around for millenia and haven't gone away, so there must be something to them. Are they inspired by demons? I'm not so sure. I guess I've come to the belief that there are natural forces around us that we simply cannot understand.
