The stuff you find in newspapers aren't really horoscopes.

Anyway... I seem to remember that some organisation in India drew up a bunch of horoscopes of normal kids, mixed in a bunch of horoscopes of disabled kids, and challenged astrologers to figure out which were which.

You could do something like that, if you had the inclination to study the subject... Have a lot of LWers drop in their horoscopes (there's gotta be a horoscope creation tool somewhere on the internet) and see if you can deduce their major life events. Or pay an astrologer to do it.
