Here's an example of how hokey and general horoscopes are. I got this from Infoplease.com:
The Sun is in Scorpio and the Moon is in Sagittarius. Been locked up for too long? You're ready to break free. Travel not only looks like fun, but it's practically mandatory. Are you entered in some kind of race this weekend? You should be.
See? I could apply the locked up part for midterms just being over and the race as the novel writing thing I'm doing this month. Other than that, it's just fluff catered to the ignorant masses.
