What the Data Shows

The SurfersMatch community is split three ways on horoscopes: “fun but unserious” (26.6%), “Hell no” (25.2%), and “sometimes, but I don’t live by them” (23.8%). Together, skeptics and casual readers make up about three-quarters of the vote, while true believers — those who follow horoscopes closely — are just 6.7%.

That 17.8% who never read horoscopes at all rounds out the picture: for nearly one in five members, astrology simply isn’t part of their world. This reflects the practical, outdoors-oriented mindset common in surf culture — reading the swell charts matters more than reading star charts.

Still, the largest single group chose “fun but unserious” — which is a healthy middle ground. These members can enjoy a Cosmo quiz about their Libra compatibility without staking their love life on it. Female members skew slightly more toward engagement with horoscopes, while male members are more likely to say “Hell no” outright.
