Sometimes. For most people, it's harmless fun. In other cases, it's making money off of the gullible and uninformed, and thus a form of societal exploitation. I don't mind businesses marketing to their customers, but not when it's based on a lie, especially one that the company is aware of.
Because make no mistake, many horoscope services advertise themselves as being truthful despite knowing the truth, many people believe them, and it is a lucrative business. One can apply this argument to psychics as well. It's modern day snake oil. So all in good fun? Not always. And it's the people who don't realize they're being swindled that contribute most heavily to the industry, not the ones who recognize it for what it is and only use it for amusement.

When you are successful in one aspect of life it reflects on all the others. When you fail, it does exactly the same. Today is a day to focus on the one aspect of your life that gets overlooked because the other two are so pressing. Take care of your health.
Taurus:
A large financial wave is heading your way, so study up and make the best of it. This wave will come down quickly if you don't get to work, so get to it and make some cash. Financial opportunities like this create the possibility, but you still have to make the deal.
YEAH F*CKING RIGHT! I wish. I haven't had a job since January and I don't buy Lottery tickets. Crock.

This is a good time to make money, so forget the distractions and get focused. Anybody who doesn't understand your priorities needs to be informed or they're not really on your side. Without focus and dedication, everything becomes mediocre.
what a load of bullshit

This is a day to focus on your dreams. The stars are going to line up and all you have to do is be prepared. Make sure you have done all the homework and put your resources together in one place. Now, all you need is a little bit of star magic.
Oh yes I'll be focused on my dreams very soon sleeping
