horoscope


“You have certainly felt better than you do today, Taurus. We'll pause here while you go and fetch the aspirin. The stomachache and headache are simply the result of recent overindulgence. Don't worry - you'll be fit as a fiddle by tomorrow morning. Next time someone offers you multiple helpings of food or drink, however, you might want to consider politely declining!” – from horoscope.com

This horoscope is actually completely accurate. I mean 100% accurate. I’ve been completely hung over all day because I drank too much last night. I wish there was something that could falsify this horoscope for me today, but I’ve tried everything and I’m still hung over. If anyone has any suggestions please post them as a comment. I guess the point of this exercise is to find fallacies in horoscopes… well…. How hard is it to get that one right? I mean telling me I’m hung over on a Saturday, which, if you don’t know, is the day after Friday night. This is a case of good solid advice being passed off as fortune telling – I mean really horoscope, you think I shouldn’t overindulge in beverages? Where were you last night with this information!? I think most horoscopes have some sort of overarching truth that can apply to anyone, and thus “prove” its validity…. But predicting that I might be hung over on a Saturday – well done horoscope.com

  1. Well you lucked out having your horoscope dead on. It pretty funny actually, I wish my horoscope told me something like that. All I got was a bunch of broad nonsense that I could be oh, yeah?! How does the horoscope know me so well?! Connect to like what I ate the night before, who cares. I agree with you one hundred percent that most horoscopes, actually all horoscopes, have some sort of overarching truth that can apply to anyone.
