Abstract

Astrology, a belief system that holds that the positions and movements of celestial bodies influence human behaviour and personality traits, continues to captivate people around the world. This fascination extends to single children, who experience unique family dynamics and may seek alternative paths to self- discovery. This article investigates the complex relationship between astrological beliefs and self- perception in single children, with a specific emphasis on understanding the Barnum Effect. Drawing on psychological theories, empirical research, and case studies, this investigation seeks to clarify the mechanisms by which astrology impacts self-perception among single children, while also exploring the broader consequences for human development and well-being.
