Certainly sometimes, not always. I was convinced to get a "proper" chart done, and the results were more specific and accurate than I expected. Certainly not vague newspaper predictions. I'm not going to claim the whole practice is authentic, but like I said I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to have some actual correspondence to some unknown tangible cause unrelated to the stars.
Nope, astrologers are masters at making vague answers sound specific. But they are still vague and interpretable in multiple ways, even in your proper chart.
Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you were omniscient. My mistake. Have a good day.
No, that's all astrology is. Whenever it's been put to the test it has been found to have no supernatural or real predictive power. Just vague statements, and reader bias.
Testing is the important part. Imo, the reason astrology persists is because of the lottery effect. One person out of 12 gets the perfect reading so promotes astrology as working when they were just lucky.
