According to some researchers, astrology originated around 40-100 thousand years ago. Since ancient times, people have paid attention to the stars and planets, seeking answers to the most important questions and trying to predict the future. Astrology continues to captivate minds and stir hearts today. When compiling astrological horoscopes, the Barnum effect is used, named after the famous American showman. The essence of the effect is that people find coincidences in vague, generalized descriptions, even if they are not actually there. Additionally, the authority of the predictor and the belief that the forecast is applicable only to a specific individual are important. Moreover, horoscopes must always be positive!
