Some people might think that it is ignorant believing in horoscopes, but some other people really base their days upon them. Even when horoscopes are global descriptions of events that could happen to any one, people still believe that they can reveal aspects of their daily life.

Psychological experts attribute this to the Barnum effect, which is defined as the tendency for people to accept general descriptions as particularly applicable to them. However, not everything is as simple as it seems to be, horoscopes are based in symbols, planets, and astrological houses.

The origins of astrology are mixed with those of astronomy since practically all the civilizations have gone to the stars to try to find out the destiny of the human beings. Astrology as we know it was born in Chaldea (present Iraq), probably in the seventh century, B.C. after the discovery on the part of the Babylonians of the regularity of the movement of the stars.
