Why, if I may ask?
Well, if you knew me well, you'd know that I give almost nothing out on the Internet. So far only a few things about me connected to this name are public: Most primarly, I'm male (and heterosexual), and I live in Canada (and that last was only known because one website publicly posted my IP address).
Why do I keep my life outside the Internet secret? Not because I'm scared of Internet stalkers and predators; I'm not the kind of person they could or would go after. No, mostly it's just that I find knowledge of my life outside the Internet makes good ammunition for trolls who can't find a way to argue me directly. Trust me, I've been on the battle.net forums, I've seen them at it. 'omg ur black omg gtfo'. 'omg uv nevr had secks omg gtfo'. 'omg ur gf is a nymphomaniac omg gtfo'. 'omg u liv in halafax omg tahts a nerd town omg gtfo'. 'omg ur cloths ar dum loking omg gtfo'. 'omg is taht reely ur mom?? LOLOOLOLL!!!1 omg gtfo'. No thanks. I don't want to give a troll any impertinent facts they can use to insult me while avoiding the fact that I have destroyed all their arguments. I want them to face me as I really am or not at all.

Because I can use the simple knowledge of someone's birthday to HUNT THEM DOWN!!!
Actually, this one guy gave me his phone number a little while ago, and I quickly found the corresponding city and mentioned it, and he was pretty annoyed about me posting his location publicly on the Internet- even though he'd given out all the necessary information himself. XD

If you give out too much information on yourself and your government (or some other organization, etc.) has kept records of you accessible via internet, any person smart and determined enough to find people can find you.
That's true. And it doesn't even take that many information. How many 5'11'' Johns with red hair who play soccer, are catholic and don't like chinese food are there in England? Maybe a few dozen, but you get what I mean.

And for the people who doesn't believe in horoscope, it's either you're born Europe or Asia or you just don't believe it. Just name your favorite colors, favorite numbers for basics and it's true for me if you'd think so. They said I like dark colors, it's true and they said I like 7 and 3 and I sure love 7. Not from the basics, but the facts about the personallity is true because Capricorns are independent, political, revenge, disciplined and they're all true compared to other people with different birthdays
If horoscopes really do work, can you explain to me
how they work? Or, if you don't know, then at least come up with some way in which they could possibly work? Without using any of the arguments already disproved in the page I linked to, of course.
If you can't think of any way in which they could work, then try to consider which is more likely: One, that astrology is just a trick that takes advantages of weaknesses in human pyschology (much the same way gambling does), or two, that there is a whole complex branch of physics that scientists have never discovered even with their most powerful instruments and statistics but which somehow constantly guide our lives. It doesn't take a genius to figure this one out.
