I do not subscribe to them either. I find it humorous that many people do, they read them and then read a lot of other things into the days happenings. They can usually associate almost every aspect of their day to their horoscope. Just watch out for those who are true believers and theirs says they will have a bad day. I suppose if they were not as vague as they are it might be interesting to pursue more often.
Most of the newspaper horoscopes are generalized and inaccurate. To get closer to your true sign you need a natal chart. Those are scary accurate.
My natal chart was pretty scary accurate... but earlier this week i heard that i went from being a Sagittarius to being an Ophiuchus... the change doesn't seem like an accurate one in my case, but i'll have to do some digging to find out.
Your Zodiac sign did not change. http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/01/13/no-your-zodiac-sign-hasnt-changed/
i know, it's sidereal instead of Tropical... but it's always good for conversation! i mean, last night this girl asked me what my sign was, and I have to tell you, the look on her face was priceless when I said "Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer". lol plus... I was born on Friday the 13th... at 13:00... i kinda like the idea that i could be considered the 13th zodiac.
