You never know about these kind of things. There might be some truth behind the star sign compatibility myth?
No truth at all. Don't let yourself be conned. Astrologers prey on people's hopes and anxieties, in that they find out what those hopes and anxieties are (in your case, they revolve around relationships, hair, and appearances), and then exploit that hope for their own personal gain or profit.
And YES, I
do know, because I was once an astrologer, and thus learned how to cast horoscopes. A person's birthday is relevant only for determining their age, and thereby determining what the concerns of a person that age might be. Gender and social class are also important, as are ethnicity, marital status, and cultural origins.
Thus, I would cast one horoscope for a 20-year old white, upper-class, single male from Ireland; and quite another for a 20-year old black, middle-class, married female from Nigeria -
even if they were born at the exact same time and location! Tailoring a horoscope to these actuarial values ensures that the horoscope is considered "accurate" by the client, and that the client will return for more horoscopes ... which means
more of the client's money goes into the astrologer's pocket.
