Astrology may seem like harmless funbut a new study suggests following your star sign could be bad for you.

The study, published in the Journal of Consumer Research, showed that those who believed their fate could change were more prone to erratic decision-making following bad news in their zodiac.

Isn’t pretty much EVERYTHING bad for you these days...?
Especially when it’s good for you at the same time. Especially stuff like coffee, fat and alcohol.
It’s weird, because my horoscope said harmless studies might be bad for me. Now I’m confused.
