One common way people enjoy astrology is by reading horoscopes associated with their birthday. Horoscopes attempt to predict future events and offer advice on the actions that should be taken. While reading horoscopes can be fun, astrology is not based on science. Many studies have tested whether astrology can truly predict personality or life events. In one famous experiment, astrologers were asked to match birth charts with personality descriptions, but their results were no better than guessing.
人們享受占星術的常見方式之一是看與自己生日相關的星座運勢。星座運勢試圖預測未來事件，並就應該採取的行動提供建議。雖然看星座運勢可能很有趣，但占星術並非基於科學。許多研究已經檢驗了占星術是否真的能夠預測個性或人生事件。在一項著名的實驗中，占星家們被要求將出生圖與性格描述進行匹配，但他們的結果與猜測毫無二致。
