This website is a blog where the writer gives her opinion on whether or not astrology actually affects our lives. In her explanation, the red flag of conformation bias is definitely in this blog. The writer goes into a lot more detail of why she thinks astrology is a hoax, but doesn't really explain why it could be possible that astrology does actually affect our lives. Another red flag is Red Herrings. The writer doesn't really state any actual facts to prove her case that astrology is a hoax. She more or less goes in circles just stating her own opinion.]]> 2018-04-02 14:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rajeshmalik189/jd1xmze4u8n9/wish/247823633 post 3 rajeshmalik189 https://padlet.com/rajeshmalik189/jd1xmze4u8n9/wish/247823786 http://www.thecircle.com/us/magazin/TheCircle/ICS/The_Connection_Between_A_Horoscope_And_Human_Behaviour.do#.WN_zlIWcHmQ
