It's not weird at all. It's called the Barnum Effect.
A statement can seem like it's very, very personal, yet in fact be quite general. We like to think we're special, unique snowflakes but in fact we're all kinda similar. People have been given identical, boilerplate "horoscopes" with statements like "You're kinda shy in large groups, but act like you're not to compensate" which may or may not apply to you but the majority will identify with it. They swear blind it was written specifically for them, because it describes them so well, even accusing the researchers of having had access to their diaries.
Some even refuse to believe it's a blanket text when the subterfuge is revealed and it becomes known everyone has the same one, such is the power of their belief.

Not at all. I don't agree with those two. Taurus likes to live a simple and safe life.Sensual and likes to touch. This statement won't go with someone unless he or she is not Taurus influenced. For example an aquarius would live to change the world instead of living a simple life,that bores him.
