[narrator] Studies show that's true. That people
who feel less in control of their lives are more drawn to astrology and see themselves more
in their horoscopes. And that the positive outlook
you can get from reading a horoscope can even make you preform better
on cognitive and creativity tests. And that's because something doesn't need
to be real to have real effects. It's called the placebo effect. That belief in something can be enough. And that is proven by science. Some placebo studies have even shown when a patient knows
they're taking a fake pill instead of the real thing,
it can still work. A lot of people believe their horoscopes
because of another psychological effect. The reason why people see themselves
so easily in their horoscopes is because the person wants
to see themselves in it
