And a similar proportion thinks the same across the European Union as a whole. From the Wellcome Trust Monitor survey, we know that less than 10% think horoscopes are “very” or “quite” scientific. Reassuringly, it turns out that the number of people in Britain who think that horoscopes are scientific is small. Some may make rash financial decisions based on predicted good fortune. For instance, people may decide for or against a potential marriage partner based on astrological sign. It should then be a cause for concern if citizens make important life decisions based on entirely unreliable astrological predictions. There is no evidence to support such claims. A surprisingly large quantity of scientific research has been carried out to evaluate the claims of astrology over the past 40 years. But some people attach scientific credence to astrological predictions and regard astrology as a valid way of understanding human behaviour. Undoubtedly many people read their horoscopes just for entertainment value, or as a topic for conversation.
