D.K. Effect

 

. 

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people wrongly overestimate their knowledge or ability in a specific area. This tends to occur because a lack of self-awareness prevents them from accurately assessing their own skills.

Horoscope for the upcoming week courtesy of:

Oscar Cainer.

Your Weekly Horoscope: Every year, around your birthday, three significant celestial events bring you blessings. Your solar return  - the moment when the Sun returns to the exact same point in the sky it held at the moment you were born, the annual New Moon in your sign, and the Solstice, an important event for everyone, which marks the arrival of the Sun in your sign. Your birthday isn't just a time for your friends and family to celebrate your life, the cosmos joins in too. This week, the New Moon brings real reasons to feel positive about your future.
