Horoscopes
You often hear people asking "How can the time of your birth possibly influence your destiny?", or the even more poignant question "How can your future outlook possibly be exactly the same as one twelfth of the population?"
Well, obviously. Duh, you might even say to that.
The point of horoscopes, if they're really well written, is that they give you a randomly chosen perspective on your life, your future, or the choices you might make. If you're stuck on a problem, and all your attempts to find a solution just keep going around in circles, sometimes a bit of random input can really loosen up your thinking, and help you to approach the problem a lot more creatively.
Of course it's not science, but whether it's poetry, art, imagination ... is another thing.
