Consciousness is very special, so there are many theories as to why it does this or that, including magical thinking.

Horoscopes and predictions are usually constructed vaguely and with a great deal of uncertainty:
"Leos should take care of themselves!", "Capricorns, pay special attention to your health!", "Everything will improve in the spring"
As for psychology, the Forer effect (or the Barnum effect) comes into play - a phenomenon where each individual considers a description that is very general and suitable for any person to be an accurate description of his character.
Forer conducted an experiment - he conducted psychological testing of students, and then gave them the same result.
When asked to rate whether the result accurately describes their character from 1 (not about me) to 5 (exactly about me), I received an average score of 4.26.
Another psychological focus also enters - the Pygmalion (or Rosenthal) effect.
The bottom line: if you believe that something will happen, it determines your behavior, affects your decisions and how you interpret certain events and, as a result, provokes the self-fulfillment of the prophecy.
Psychologists Robert Rosenthal and Lenora Jacobson conducted an experiment.
Elementary school teachers were told that some students were highly gifted and had higher IQs than other children on the test.
It was not true, the children were chosen at random.
But the teachers consciously or subconsciously helped the "talented" students learn the program better, praised them, etc.
At the end of the year, these students actually showed a higher IQ.
Therefore, psychological effects and common phrases to which everyone feels a kinship are the secret of everything magical, astrological, fortune-telling.
Astrology, tarology, numerology, divination, prophesy, fortune-telling, psychics are not sciences, and predictions do not always come true 100%.
Information is quite often of an entertaining nature, so it should not be taken seriously, but only as a probability of events that every person can become the creator of, if he has the strength of spirit and inspiration to change his life for the better.
