Are zodiac signs true to your personality?

Inspiration finds you if you’re willing to dedicate yourself to a cause.

Problems may arise when you’re tempted by a familiar disruption and your willpower weakens.

Something appearing meaningless may be a lesson to learn.

As many as 70 million Americans read their horoscopes daily. Well, that’s at least according to the American Federation of Astrologers. According to a study done twenty years ago by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, 25 percent of Americans believed that the positions of the stars and the planets affect our daily lives. In 2012, the General Social Survey found that 34 percent of Americans surveyed consider astrology to be "very" or "sort of scientific" and also reported a decrease—from two-thirds to around one-half—in the fraction of people who consider astrology "not at all scientific." Astrology is generally defined as the belief that astronomical phenomena, like the stars overhead when you were born or the fact that Mercury is in retrograde, have the power to influence the daily events in our lives and our personality traits. This is, of course, very different from the study of astronomy, which is the scientific study of celestial objects, space, and the physics of the universe. A specific aspect of astrology—the forecasting of a person’s future or the offering of advice on daily activities via horoscopes—is particularly growing in popularity. Magazines like The Cut reported an increase of 150 percent more hits on horoscope pages in 2017 than in 2016.

Clearly, lots of people are looking for ways to interpret the stars for advice. Astrology is founded on understanding the positions of the stars, which seems like a scientific enough pursuit in itself. But is there any science to back up whether astrology impacts our personality and our lives?

Here's the short Answer: No. None whatsoever.

Do Aries fall in love quickly?

This headstrong nature of Aries makes them fall in love quickly once someone attracts their attention and the same trait is likely to make them fall out of love too.

Sagittarians do not need a person to fall in love with because they love life and the excitement and adventure that comes with it so much that Sagittarians can wait and wait for a long time to find a life partner. Adventure comes first in their life and they love travelling and exploring new things; and if they have all these they can e quite self-content. So, for a Sagittarian to be struck by the cupid's bow the right person has to there for them at the right time. Also, they value their freedom above everything else and if they feel that a relationship would restrict that sense of freedom, they would rather do away with it than be in a relationship with someone.
