Horrorscopes
One has to admit, even if somewhat grudgingly in the case of skeptics, that there's a startling degree of accuracy when it comes to individuals' character and their sign of the Zodiac. But I don't tend to read newspaper or magazine astrology columns, if for no other reason than the idea of a twelfth of humanity having the same reading for that day or month that I do irks me. And you know it's pretty useless stuff when you see the little disclaimer saying it's "for entertainment purposes only," which basically means you can't sue when your marriage to a taurus goes sour after your horoscope urged you into it.

We certainly live in an excessively litigious society when a Pisces can sue or kill a Taurus for misrepresentation. I come from one of the sunniest of the sun signs and let me assure you that those born under my stars would never think of doing such a thing. We might stop talking to you for a few decades, but assassination or litigation just ain’t our style. No sign, however, is perfect and I have noted that mine often contains an abnormal degree of hubris. Pride cometh before the fall, the Bible says, and many of us have fallen by the wayside if not the website.
I love this post because people who are purported to be intelligent aren't supposed to believe in astrolohy, but as you say, there are certain chacteristics that play to type. If you ever get a fuller reading--sun sign, moon sign, rising sign, really describe a personality. I am a leo by sun sign, but have libra as both my rising and moon sign. Makes me more mellow, LOl.
When I went to a senior singles get together (just one!) a woman asked me my sign. I said it varied from soft shoulders to slippery when wet. roger
