Following research in the US that found 80% of young Americans believe in astrology, we were interested to see how data from the UK compared. Close to 33,000 students considered astrology’s merit and significance, with younger voters focusing on their birth month or star sign and Secondary and older students discussing horoscopes more generally. The results in this report show the extent to which young people in the UK think astrology should be relied upon as a method for decision-making.
Secondary, 16+ & College voters were asked: “Should astrology be used to help us make decisions?”, while Primary 7-11 voters discussed: "Is your star sign important to you?”, and Primary 5-7 voters considered, "Is your birth month important to you?"
32,731 young people in the UK have taken part in this vote.
We think star signs are important because it helps us learn more about our personalities and similarities with others.
You are in control of your own destiny and future. You are not governed by external forces like astrology.
I think astrology gives people hope rather than [needing to be] true and [used] to make decisions.
