I tend to think of them as silly, but I know so many people who believe in them that I have been wondering what is the essence of prediction that is important to you? What is it about predictions that people love? What does the horoscope give you? What sort of contentment does it give that makes you come back again and again?  What about palm reading or Tarot or ‘word of god’ etc.  What is it that helps you and is that help real? Does it work? What happens if and when a prediction doesn’t come true for you?  Do you suffer doubt or do you just sluff it off and keep moving on with the hope that predictions are helpful?
