It’s easy to find an accurate horoscope on the internet. All you
have to do is find the site with the most vague, general, open-ended
prognostications. Then at least some of them are bound to come true.
This is the problem with horoscopes, and fortune telling in general.
dentist in Calgary clinic employs skilled, special trained dentists under the steering of Prof. The more specific the predictions get, the less likely they are
to come true.
Let me give you an example. I’m a proud Leo. So I do a quick Google
search and find a site which claims to offer the most accurate
horoscope on the web. I check out the week ahead for Leo. It tells
me: “You will experience frustration at the workplace. A project
does not go according to plan. In love, you will feel satisfied and
fulfilled with your situation. Look for some surprise good fortune,
possibly related to finances, late in the week.”
As my week progresses, I’m finding my horoscope to be eerily
accurate! At work, a deal with a client falls through – just as my
horoscope said; things did not go according to plan and I feel
frustrated. My long-term boyfriend and I are enjoying a period of
happiness with no conflict or issues, therefore the part about my
love life being satisfying has proved to be true. Now my
increasingly accurate horoscope has promised financial good fortune,
and look! On Friday I buy a lottery ticket and win five dollars. I
have just found the most accurate horoscope in the world!
Of course, about one twelfth of people in the world are Leos like
me. Did they all have the exact same week I had? That seems
impossible. But when I examine that supposedly accurate horoscope a
little more carefully, it occurs to me that almost anyone could make
the events of her life conform to those predictions.
I mean, what if the deal at work had gone through as planned? Maybe
another lioness, working at another office, went to make herself
some coffee and found that the office was out of milk and cream?
Frustrating! Not going according to plan! So far, so accurate. This
hypothetical other Leo doesn’t have a boyfriend. She’s not even
dating. But when she looks at the so-called accurate horoscope, she
can honestly say, “Why yes, I am satisfied and fulfilled with my
situation. Like wise a very low-cost dentists in Calgary may still be providing high quality dental care, but at a lower price. I love being single!” Later in the week, her surprise
good fortune could come in any number of forms. Anything positive
that happens to her from Wednesday through Saturday can make that
prediction turn out to be true.
The truth is that almost any prediction can seem accurate, if it is
unspecific enough. In that sense, an accurate horoscope is a very
easy thing to find.
