In astrology, a horoscope is a chart or diagram representing the positions of the planets and other celestial bodies at the time of an event such as a person's birth. The term horoscope is derived from Greek words meaning, "a look at the hours."
This article discusses one set of techniques used in western astrology. Although there is a common underlying stratum of concepts, no single set of techniques is used by all practitioners of western astrology. Practitioners of chinese astrology or vedic astrology will use techniques that vary even more from these.

Opinions about the validity of astrology, or its classification as a pseudoscience are considered in the head article on astrology.

Using an ephemeris and a table of houses an astrologer calculates relative positions of the sun, the moon, and the planets for specific time and place in order to erect a horoscope. This diagram, called a chart is a stylized map of the heavens. The sun or the earth is placed in the centre (depending on whether the ephemeris was heliocentric or geocentric) with the remaining elements around the outside: the planets, the lunar nodes, the ascendant and midheaven, and the housess. Then the angles between the planets are designated. These angles are the astrological aspects. Different systems of tri-secting arcs produce houses of different size. The calculation of a horoscope is a complex but purely technical skill normally carried out by computer software.


In common usage, the word horoscope also refers to the interpretation given by the astrologer about the calculated celestial bodies positions.

In particular, it is common to find on many newspapers and magazines horoscope columns, describining planet positions and influences for the various astrological signs. Most astrologers regard those as nearly worthless, since a horoscope is actually highly personalized, and cannot be generalized to thousands of readers.





To dream of having your horoscope drawn by an astrologist, foretells unexpected changes in affairs and a long journey; associations with a stranger will probably happen.

If you mean horoscopes then... A horoscope is based upon the date of your birth. Depending on this date you are assigned one of the following constellations: Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Virgo, Leo, Cancer, Sagittarius, Scorpius, Libra, Pisces, Aquarius, or Capricornus. These constellations were chosen because, as seen from earth, the sun seems to travel through these 12 star formations throughout the calendar year (of course we know that the Earth revolves around the sun). Astrologers then attempt to predict certain aspects your future (love life, financial success, career, etc.) according to how the planets relate to your constellation. Whether or not you believe what they predict is up to you.

Horoscopes is a description of what is going to happen in the future, based on the position of the stars and the planets when the people are born.

To know all the horrors in your life in advance. Any way I don't believe on horoscopes because the people who write them does not know what their future is.
