Whenever I read about Aquarius it's like I'm reading something that I wrote about myself. Everything that can be said about Aquarius is 100% true about me. How would you explain that if, as you claim, unification of characters is all bullshit?
I'm not saying everything about astrology is true, however. For instance, what I find to be a load of crap is that thing with "predicting" what's gonna happen in someone's life based on planets alignment.

I bet if you look at Pisces, or Aries, or any of the other horoscopes in your newspaper, you'll probably be able to find some descriptions and predictions that could well apply to you. They undoubtedly could apply to everyone else as well. That's the point. Horoscopes give off the impression that they're tailored to you, and only you. The reality is the complete opposite. They're actually very general, very vague, and are specifically designed to apply to as many people as possible.
