horoscope definition?

Answer 1

Horoscope
The astrological chart of the zodiac, done from a geocentric point of view, upon which the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets are located for a specific time and date. If that date is a person's birth date (or, indeed, even the “birth” date of a nation, company, idea, event, or animal) the chart is a “natal” horoscope, used by the astrologer to predict important characteristics of that subject.
Each astrological sign is said to confer certain general characteristics. The rising points of the heavenly bodies, their relationships to one another, and various other correlations are all believed important. Events in the subject's life, conditions of health, and fortune are said to be found in the horoscope.
Definitive, carefully conducted tests of the idea have shown it to be false.
The first written horoscope dates from 409 B.C., and it is a Mesopotamian specimen found among less that twenty known from that period.

Answer 2

My own personal definition of horoscope:
The prevention of unfortunate circumstances in the future.

The denotation (real dictionary definition) definition:
1 : a diagram of the relative positions of planets and signs of the zodiac at a specific time (as at one's birth) for use by astrologers in inferring individual character and personality traits and in foretelling events of a person's life
2 : an astrological forecast

Answer 3

Astrological corospondences of celestial bodies (including stars, moons, the sun, and other planets). The sun, planets, stars, and moon were all in a specific spot in the sky at the time of your birth, and these sequence of positions determine your house of twelve, or the Zodiac signs, (aries=ram, taurus=cow/bull, gemini=twins[male or female], libra=scales/balance, virgo=the virgin, sagittarius=the centaur, leo=the lion, capricorn= the mer-goat, scorpio= the scorpion, pices=two entwined fish, cancer= the crab, or aquarius=the maiden). your horoscope is when any specific celestial body is alligned in the same position as it was when you were born (it could be one= a good day for love, making money, ending a relationship/starting one, making friends, etc.). In theory the perfect day for you would be when the celestial bodies are positioned in the exact same spot as your birth day. The horoscope tells you which allignment affects your day, and helps you to act on it.
