There are a number of reasons why horoscopes are so popular all over the world. Daily horoscopes are one of the most read sections of a newspaper. Horoscope websites are very popular. People subscribe to daily horoscopes on Facebook. Yes, everyone wants to know what is going to happen in the future; but is the Libra horoscope going to tell a Libra girl exactly when her boyfriend is going to propose marriage to her? We don’t know that. What we do know is why horoscopes are so popular. 1. Answers: Life is hard. People want guidance and advice to life’s problems and troubles. When there is no one to trust or listen to, horoscopes can provide answers. Even if predictions are usually vague, people still apply them to their life’s situation and use them as guide. In case a person’s problem gets better by using the horoscope as guide, he is more likely to turn to it more often in the future. 2. Entertainment: Many people around the world see the daily horoscope as entertainment. A Libra horoscope with special mention of romance may be interesting reading material for a Libra girl who is single and looking for love. ‘Celebrity horoscopes’ or a humorous look into what is going to happen in the lives of celebrities is also something that may not have any astrological merit, but is still read for purely entertainment purposes. 3. Habit: Another reason horoscopes are popular is because people read out of pure habit. It may be so that a person grew up watching her mother pour over the horoscope every day at the breakfast table and caught up with the habit. She still continues to do so. She may read it just because the newspaper still publishes it. Above are the most important reasons why horoscopes are so popular. Though a huge number of people read them every day at breakfast, few of them take it very seriously. It is okay if one reads it as a sort of guide to the future, but to be absolutely dependent on it is not the right thing. There are some people who are so dependent on their astrologer that they refuse to undertake anything new or make any changes without first consulting with him. However, astrological predictions should always be taken with a pinch of salt. Author Bio: The author is a person who reads his Daily Horoscopes everyday in the newspaper. He also writes about the Libra Horoscope extensively in his blog because he himself is a Libran.
