That's true. In my psychology class the teacher had us do an exercise where we got into groups of 3s. Then we each got a piece of paper with a horoscope on it. The papers were categorized as a,b, or c. Then he asked us if we thought that the horoscopes that were given to us were true for us or not. The people that had C said no and most of the ones that had As and Bs said yes. That is because the C's had negative stuff in them and A and Bs had good stuff in them. Our teacher told us that when people read things that say good things about them they most likely think it's true, that is how horoscopes work. Most of them say good things about you, that is why we believe them.
