->''"Now, you may find it inconceivable or at the very least a bit unlikely that the relative position of the planets and the stars could have a special deep significance or meaning that exclusively applies to only you, but let me give you my assurance that these forecasts and predictions are all based on solid, scientific, documented evidence, so you would have to be some kind of moron not to realize that every single one of them is absolutely true!"''

* ''Series/FullHouse'': In "A Pinch For A Pinch", Kimmy Gibler is given the job of "Madame Kimmy" on the school newspaper and starts writing horoscopes. She gives one to Stephanie: her day will start off with good fortune, then an unpleasant surprise at school, and finally a misunderstanding will occur at home. It spooks Stephanie when the predictions start to come true. In an odd subversion, Kimmy then reveals that she's been copying the horoscopes out of an old newspaper she found at home, so she wasn't trying to scare Stephanie at all--but the events ''did'' happen, so it comes across as ContrivedCoincidence.

[[folder:Podcast]]
* Episode six of ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'' features a horoscopes section where each of the zodiac signs are given increasingly odd/hilarious horoscopes. Among other things, Cecil warns Capricorns that "those were not contact lenses you put in this morning", announces that its Taurus's "annual crime day" where they're exempt from all laws, and simply curses Scorpios and their families and calls them "vile" for no understandable reason. (Steve Carlsburg, Cecil's hated brother-in-law, later turns out to be a Scorpio.)

* Played with in ''Film/SlidingDoors''. When Helen claims to be over her boyfriend Gerry, (who she recently dumped after [[BedroomAdulteryScene she came home early from work and caught him cheating]]) Helen's best friend Anna calls her out for lying, noting that Helen is still counting the days since the breakup, and is still reading Gerry's horoscope in the hopes that it will say that something terrible will happen to him. Later Anna pretends that the horoscope does in fact say that something terrible will happen to Gerry in a way that would make the horoscope specific to Gerry.

* Horoscopes tend to be incredibly specific when they show up in ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' despite the series otherwise lacking any supernatural elements.

* ''Franchise/ArchieComics'':

* In ''Literature/GoodOmens'', the local newspaper serving Tadfield has a surprisingly specific horoscope for Libra, on the day the apocalypse begins. This is just after a discussion of late medieval Bishop Usher's great contribution to Creationism, in which he conclusively worked out from Biblical revelation that God created Earth in October 4004 B.C.E. Which makes the Earth a Libra...

* In the first episode of the ''Series/DirkGently'' TV show, one of the cases involves a man whose horoscopes are always coming true. Gently tries to convince him that it's a SelfFulfillingProphecy -- he had an affair ''because'' the horoscope said he would, not because he wanted one.

* The entire point of ''Music/WeirdAlYankovic's'' "Your Horoscope For Today", in which Aquarius are told that their tongue will be frozen to the back of a speeding bus, Pisces are the true lord of the dance (no matter what those idiots at work say), and Cancer should spend the rest of the week face down in the mud because of the position of Jupiter. Among many, many more for each sign.

* ''Series/BlackHoleHigh'': Marshall shoves off a school assignment and submits silly horoscope predictions to the school paper instead of a serious article and made them obviously about his friends. Because the school sits on a do-anything-black hole [[FinaglesLaw they come true]]. And he made a typo saying [[TonightSomeoneDies one of them would die]] rather than diet.

* One episode of ''Series/{{Psych}}'' has Shawn going semi-undercover at the local paper as a horoscope writer. When Gus criticizes his horoscopes for being too specific, Shawn replies that he wrote them with specific people in mind.

** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS12E1TreehouseOfHorrorXI Treehouse of Horror XI]]": Segment "G-G-Ghost D-D-Dad" involves Homer's horoscope saying that he will die today. Lisa lampshades the trope by saying it's unusuly specific. Worried, Marge looks at her horoscope, which says that her husband will die! Oddly, Homer focuses on the second part of his horoscope which says that an attractive coworker may compliment him, and he immediately thinks of his friend Lenny.
