We all have our little morning routines. Roll over, hit snooze on your alarm, check your phone, finally drag yourself out of bed…you know the drill. Maybe the next thing you do is check your horoscope!
Reading your daily horoscope can be a fun way to start the day, but sometimes, it can be a little confusing. You might start reading and immediately catch yourself thinking, “What? That doesn’t sound right!” Maybe it tells you that you’re in a bad financial situation, but you just paid off lingering debt and your bank account is slowly growing. Or maybe it comments on your wonderful new romance-but you’re going through what you’re convinced is the worst break up of all time! There are a few reasons your horoscope might not always be accurate-read on to see why:
- You’re on the cusp of two signs.
If you’re born on a cusp date-right between two signs-you probably notice qualities of both signs in yourself. To find an accurate horoscope, you can’t just read one-you’ve got to check both! So if your birthday is right in the middle of Aquarius and Pisces, reading the Pisces horoscope will feel a little off, but so will the Aquarius horoscope! Take a closer look at both to get a better idea of what the day has in store.
- There’s a big event that’s bringing around something unpredictable.
This could be something common, like a full moon. Or it could be something relatively rare, like an eclipse! Astrologers will always take these events into account, but since their effects are naturally unpredictable, it can be difficult for them to determine just which path the universe is going to send you down.
- Remember-you have a moon sign and rising sign too!
Your moon sign and rising sign may differ from your sun sign, and if these signs are polar opposites, you might feel a little lost while reading daily horoscopes! Daily horoscopes only take into account your sun sign, so in order to full understand what the stars have spelled out for you, you need to have your full birth chart and seek out other predictions. One horoscope definitely can’t predict everything for every individual that falls under a particular sign because we all have unique birth charts.
- Because in the end, astrology just can’t predict everything!
The universe works in mysterious ways. We have the influence of the planets, which changes depending on the signs they’re in. We have the ever-changing moon phases that can guide us in new directions in our lives. We have the details in our birth chart, and while we may not be able to change them, these traits might exhibit themselves differently depending on the stage of life we’re in. There are so many factors to consider for every individual that there’s simply no way to capture them all in a daily horoscope! Daily horoscopes are definitely entertaining and can provide valuable clues about how your next few days will play out, but they just can’t tell you everything-you’ll have to wait and see for yourself!
