How much truth can a horoscope contains for a human being?
Simple Analogy :
If there is a fire in the science lab, and a cat runs out because of a fire, u notice the cat running out, then u hear the fire alarm sounding, u might (mistakenly) think the cat 'caused' the alarm. Same mistaken thinking with astrology.
Like many other spiritual matters, most pple misunderstand how astrology and horoscopes work.
It's NOT that the planets and stars control/decide/influence your life (while on the extraphysical/multi-dimensional level, these do indeed symbolize powerful energies that human souls can interact with, usually in preparation before incarnating into a physical body; but that is another matter for another discussion), but rather :
The date and time that you're born into this physical dimension and planet (Earth in our case), is very deliberately chosen (taking into consideration, psychically influencing and manipulating factors including the use of medical drugs used to induce labor and family, doctors' decisions, etc) by yourself and those on your side (ie. your guides & helpers, evolutionary orientor, helper technicians on the other side, angelic beings, etc), to SYMBOLIZE and REFLECT, using the science or body of knowledge known as Astrology (although, as with all systems, there are different astrological systems with varying emphases and interpretation, but this is also taken into consideration in the planning), the karma, work, purpose, challenges and relationships of the soul, specifically for this relevant physical incarnation.
So yes, astrology can be helpful IF you interpret it correctly. But there are many other forms of symbolism and higher communication (ie. with your own higher self or soul; the higher self of the higher self of the higher self... for all beings, is God... yes of course, *You* are God, don't ever let anyone tell u otherwise!).
