do you believe in horoscopes using birthtimes?

Hello all,
I like to read on astro.com those personal daily horoscopes, for fun and to see the transits occuring around me.
However, sometimes they hit the nail on the head, and other times I feel like the horoscopes are a day or so off?
Does anyone else feel like they work for them? Do you think I should weigh my day by them? Of course not live by them but to get a general outlook on my day by them?

I've been using the personal daily horoscope for over two years. I read them almost every day.

I agree with you. There are many days that I feel as if I don't connect with any of the descriptions. I think, for me, it feels right about 40% of the time. The thing about the transits, is that they are so general. Most of my friends (who I have on Astro) are going through the same transits. I got a close friend of mine to try it out and shes complains that she keeps receiving the same descriptions over and over. For it to be clear, the person needs to have a greater grasp of astrology, and of the charts to understand what is going on.

I think it's a pretty useful tool. I'm glad it's free.

I used to read my daily horoscope religiously, but I became frustrated when the descriptions of what I was supposed to experience were the opposite of what I actually experienced; I once had a fight on the day I experienced a Sun-Jupiter trine or something similar, and even before this, I wasn't exactly filled with optimism and vitality. T

There have been other days too in which everything has been peachy yet the daily horoscope predicts a conflict of some kind.

Sometimes it hits the nail right on the head, but this has been rare in my experience.

P.S. If the predictions seem to off by a few days, perhaps you need to modify your birth time by a few minutes? This will probably only make a difference in transits to your Ascendant or Midheaven, though...
