Bengaluru: Needless to say, zodiac and star signs continue to remain popular even among the current generation. While some just read it for fun and curiosity, others take it quite seriously and check their astrological predictions everyday without fail. Astrology is a billion dollar industry worldwide and horoscope columns are a familiar feature of major newspapers across India. However, on May 17, something quite funny happened when a popular newspaper committed quite a blunder and printed the same future for every zodiac sign! Yes, residents in Bengaluru were quite surprised when ‘What your stars say today’ section of Bangalore Mirror carried the same prediction for all signs.
Twitter user Nandita Iyer pointed out the error and shared a photo of the astrology section and wrote, ”We are all in the same boat irrespective of our Zodiac sign.”

Well, Twitter was obviously stumped by this printing error and netizens had a field day trolling the newspaper. Some others joked how the stars have aligned for all of us.
Here are some reactions:
They might as well have said “mask up to stay alive and keep others alive” for all of them as a PSA

Its always a templated copy paste job. Super standardised statements across news papers.
Its a good industry by the way.

This is what you call “when all stars are aligned”

Maybe they reached the combination on the random zodiac generator where every sign had the same info
