The relative positions of all the bodies in our Solar System to each other and their positions within the 12 Zodiac Signs, flavour your basic character that is initially set by the Ruling Planet.
An Astrologer draws your individual Birth Chart, by placing at the exact position in the Zodiac, at the time of your birth - the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune & Pluto. Some Astrologers will also take into account a variety of Asteroids.
I can not overemphasize how this combination of influences, positions and inter-relationships, shift what a professional Astrologer considers not only for your Character at time of birth but how the chart of past, present & future moments influence your behaviour and reactions to circumstance, what the public think is predicting the future. This is in fact more like forecasting the weather but does have the advantage of totally predictable planetry positions.
Your 'Stars' or Sun Sign column as popular in magazines and web sites, use ONLY the Suns basic position in the Zodiac, it can be uncannily close at times but is only the first of many considerations when it comes to understanding you, your motives, how you react in different situations and of great importance to you - how the predictable positions of planets will influence your future. The interpretation of that comes down to the technical skills and intuitive abilities of the Astrologer.
The Sun Sign is what most people know without a doubt. It is also (usually) the most obvious part of the personality. The Sun is the conscious self. It is the behaviour one is most comfortable with. It is the every day, fair-weather self. But there is much more to you than your Sun Sign...
. when emotions run high....
That's when the Moon Sign comes out. We generally react in emotional situations according to the Moon Sign. This is the primal, subconscious self. You may even fantasize about behaving more like that sign, but it may not feel natural to you unless you're filled with happiness or sadness or anger. The Moon Sign also comes out when you feel very safe - either by yourself or with people you trust.
But what about...
The Rising Sign? This is the most difficult element of the chart to explain, but may be even more important than the Sun Sign. In a nutshell, it is the Higher Self. You came into this life with one of the 12 signs of the zodiac on the horizon. This sign represents your horizon - your aspirations, what you look for in the world, and what you want to reflect. It is not surprising that much of your outward appearance, or the way you present yourself to others is determined by the Rising Sign, (and also by any planets that were rising when you were born - the Sun, Moon and planets rule the Zodiac - so a person with Venus rising is much like a Libra or Taurus rising, and Moon rising is just like Cancer rising, etc.) We want to attract and bring into our lives that which we aspire to. A Libra rising person looks for beauty, equality and comfort - and his/her natural beauty and charm are helpful in bringing it. An Aries rising individual looks for excitement and new challenges. Her/his look of bold determination and fearlessness is conducive to finding it!
Why is the Rising Sign so important? Once you discover why you have the particular Rising Sign you do, you will be on the road to realizing and sharing one of your most powerful gifts.

Hi, I hope you are having a fun filled day. It really isn't easy being me, but for me it is easier than it would be for someone else. As a Gemini, I find I have to live up to certain standards that usually result in a more detailed analysis culminating in largely a fault finding exercise. Multiple opinions are required and generally don't match each other because one voodoo doctor was taught by a different voodoo priest and the numerologist ran off with the crystal reader who broke my crystal ball. Now I have better days when the cusp of the third apex passes light to the seventh moon's shadow on the pile of hubcaps next to the garage. Last night I had a really good tasting fortune cookie so I bought a lottery ticket. The results are not yet in.:)

I believe in horoscopes! I go to buddyscope.com every day. Sometimes they are frightingly accurate, like they predict something about a problem I've had. I've never taken them toooooooo seriously though, but occasionally when they seem really truthful, I'll give it a little thought and perhaps plan my course of action using my horoscope as a tidbit of advice.

Of course they are correct. Any good horoscope will give you very addaptive answers in which most anything can happen and you go "my horoscope was right!" You can almost adjust what the horoscope said to fit your day.

I read my horoscope for fun sometimes, but wouldn't make or change any plans based on it.
I'm an Aquarius and I fit the description of Aquarius perfectly, more than any other sign. So sometimes I wonder if there's anything to it.

I guess it depends on how and what you read into it. I mean are all Libras gonna have the same things happen to them in one day, I think not. But if you look at the meaning behind it I think it can. Maybe not all the time, but I have come across a few that were right on the mark, others not so close.

Believe in horoscopes jus for da fun of it.. not as in future forecasts but for character analysis.
Does reflect da reality at times
Don't actually plan da day behind my sign & so no it wouldn't affect my plans which have been both practically and sensibly calculated.
It is possible yes at times... coincidences do occur...
Cheerz!

I believe in horoscopes. I believe they are pretty accurate. Especially in the compatibilty section. I am a Libra and my man is a Cancer... it is so true. I don't think it's entertainment, it's more intellectual for me.

The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it.
Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held.
Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books.
Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin.
Believe nothing just because someone else believes it.
Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true
Love & Blessings
