I don't think I know enough about TRUE astrology to really have an opinion. But as far as my horoscope in the paper, or Tarot card reading, not really. I use it as entertainment only.
Now the Ouija board - THAT'S a different story.

Well, I picked undecided. I enjoy horoscopes, tarot cards, palm readings etc. but I certainly don't plan my life around them.:)

I only read Horroscope for a laugh, In fact I generally have to read the dates to remember which start sign I am! And I don't pay mcuh attention to what they say as many of the papers tend to contradict each other!

It all depends on what you mean by horoscopes...the daily in the newspaper variety, or daily online ones, generally are of no value. If you read about your birthsign (I'm a Gemini), I would say about 80 percent of it is true. I've read a lot about my sign and a few others for people who are important to me and sometimes it's just uncanny. I don't think you can tell the future with birthsigns, I think you can tell more like personality types, that kinda thing. I don't think you can tell the future by knowing when you were born or with tarot cards.

I believe in prayer, not astrology!

Well, I do enjoy reading my horoscope, etc. but only for fun, except when it starts to say something about the 12th house of the pisces moon-I'm lost! I'm not sure how you could "use" them for life planning, since they are usually vague in order to fit everyone.
I believe in the power of prayer!
actually....i am having my doubts about astrology and/or prayer right now
today is suckin.....

Superstitious gobbledegook! (no offence!)
Oscar Wilde said "Prayer should never be answered, for then it becomes mere conversation"
I couldn't think of a quote for astrology.
