Some believe in horoscopes and some believe in nothing. How much truth there is in the truth, unfortunately no one can tell us. And yet a horoscope can be written by anyone. All it took was for a person to sniff out an opportunity to prey and make money from someone else's faith.

After the outline of my future (and the outline was very general, so it can be interpreted very differently), I thought: what did it actually give me? I realised that the biggest danger of predicting the future is messing with one's own destiny. After all, now a person has only two ways to go: either he will do everything to avoid the predicted facts, or he will strive to make the predictions come true. In either case, he will interfere with his fate, and wrongly. The question is whether you believe that something governs our fate. It could be destiny, fate, karma or God. If we believe in any of these, should we intervene in our fate?

On the other hand, the vision of a knowable future, in which no more accidents will surprise us, seems tempting. Only would life then be any more interesting? I sincerely doubt it. One does not know what is and what is not written in the stars. It should also be remembered that a horoscope is not the same as a fortune-telling. It all depends on one's philosophy of life: whether someone has written us in the stars, or whether our existence is a tabula rasa that only we can write down. Or is there another possible outcome? This is already our individual, lifelong affair. The bottom line is that a person has to believe in something, because as they once sang: It is difficult not to believe in anything.
