Abstract
The 21th century is the time of high technologies, development of
science, electronic communication and lack of time. Nevertheless many
people believe in horoscopes that are supported by no scientific studies.
Τhe problem why a lot of us are sure that all that is written in the prediction
of astrologers is the truth remains unsolved. We assume that the clue is in
the very text of horoscopes. Thus, to conduct the analysis of its linguistic
component is of great importance. To do it we have used content-analysis
of language means to be seen, read, interpreted, and acted on [1] in the texts
of horoscopes. The next one is quantitative analysis that enables coming to
summarising results.
