It is used mainly for entertainment purposes. Astrology is, in fact, based on all of the Planets and the Moon, not just the Sun. All of these energies affect you, and in some cases the combined energy of several Bodies can be more powerful than the Sun's position alone and even outweigh its influence. Many people are afraid of purchasing a horoscope full of arcane astrological jargon too difficult to understand without a great deal of study or professional help. Horoscopes can serve many purposes in your life, whether you believe in them or are more skeptical.
Horoscopes can provide personal insight.
Reflecting on their meaning, you can learn more about yourself through self-analysis. Horoscopes help you to understand your tendencies, strengths and weaknesses. Skeptics and believers alike can use the horoscope as a jumping-off point for deeper exploration of the Self, examining each point of the horoscope with respect to the truth of what your horoscope claims. Many people appreciate them as gifts, especially for significant birthdays, weddings, and the birth of children.
