Lmao...yeah and then it comes true because of actions when its only true because it pushed you to do it. It wouldn't have naturally happened.
On a side note it is crazy how much I match being a Leo, Monkey (Chinese zodiac) and everything else. Most nail who I am more accurate then most typology descriptions on a whole. I think alot of issues with typology is being able to differentiate objective data and subjective data when typing.
I don't know. Sometimes I read things about Aquarius and find it very accurate, but I'm not sure if it's just the Barnum effect.
I do think that time of birth can have some effect on one's personality. "Summer babies," for instance, might be less prone to depression due to being born when they are likely to be exposed to more sun (I believe some scientific studies have already indicated this could be true); also the mother's exposure to sun must affect the fetus in some way involving a greater level of vitamin D, perhaps.
I wonder if it might also be dependent on their mothers' psychological states after birth--are mothers less likely to experience postpartum depression during the summer therefore effecting the child's general temperament?
It's not that I have any problems with astrology; I just think some people place far too much weight in it. You're right, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy if someone follows the advice of their horoscope, after which point it's going to be difficult to determine if it was just coincidence.
