I honestly do not get them at all. They're effectively religion in an even more novelty form for to me. I normally would not bitch about this, but I tend to see posts pertaining to one's own horoscope on Tumblr and other social thingies (usually reposted or automated), and they're some of the first things I tend to filter away when I have access to filtering software.
The one time I'll care about them is if we're discussing the ZODIAC units in RefleX.

I'm actually an amateur astrologist.
It's all a crock of bullshit, sure, but not a bad skill to impress friends with and have some fun.
It is definitely got religious trappings.
Which is cool because I'm a big fan of religions.
Possibly The Thing I Am Most Tired Of Hearing: "I can't believe you're a Leo, you don't seem like one at all!"
I've been thinking, there might be some crazy kind of truth behind that. Like, that shit corresponds to set month-long periods. I wouldn't find it impossible for the time of the year you spend in the womb having an effect on you.
In American (at least) sports teams, one tends to find that most of the birthdays cluster around a certain time of year: almost all of them lie right near the cutoff between one school year and the next, such that they're the oldest and thus biggest kids in their elementary school classes, which elementary school coaches tend to mistake for talent and feedback-loop into actually being more talented.
That's not actually a personality trait, though.
