People often wonder if newspaper and magazine horoscopes are genuine or fake. A large number of people who read newspaper regularly and believe in Indian Horoscope read their daily horoscope predictions. In spite of being a popular science it is still not well understood. Of course writing daily horoscope in newspaper is certainly not an easy job and many a times a lot of writers instead of writing the article themselves hire ghostwriter for the job.

The ghost writers write the articles and are paid by the writers in whose name the articles are published. The famous name of the writer compels the reader to read those articles.

The fact that horoscope writing is passed on to an amateur or someone who has no knowledge of astrology make people have reasons to be cynical about the correctness of horoscopes. Though most people find it amusing and enjoy reading it.

The reason why reading horoscope is fun because it reflects the inner expectations and desire of a person which probably he cannot share with anyone else in his life. Many readers also get addicted to astrology as an justification for everything in their life. This can lead to grave consequences.
