      I don’t believe they do. But I do think that things like the amount of sunlight (or really day light) hours effects us. I know I feel way more tired in the winter when it dark by 4pm!
      And the different zodiac signs are visible at different times of the year so there is a relationship between the daylight hours and them.

      No – they really can’t have an influence, the forces involved are too week. It may have made sense thousands of years ago, but doesn’t make much sense today.

      I saw a nice quote about horoscopes

      “Today you’ll ignore self-determination and leave your decisions to balls of thermonuclear hydrogen and orbiting piles of rock/gas.”

      Absolutely not.

      As Hugh says, their rotation/visibility is correlated to the seasons/daytime hours but this is correlation (a relationship between them), not causation, they do not effect anything!

      I don’t think so, but I don’t believe in much of the ‘science’ in movies either! Sometimes it just good to have a bit of fun 🙂 I read them with my friends when I want to have a laugh.
