In astrology, a horoscope is a chart or diagram
representing the positions of the planets, other
celestial bodies, and sensitive angles at the time of
any event, such as a person's birth.
Using an ephemeris and a table of houses an astrologer
calculates the geocentric positions of the Sun, Moon,
and planets for a specific time and place in order to
erect a formatted 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
houses. Then the angles between the planets are
determined. These angles are the astrological aspects.
Different systems of tri-secting arcs produce houses of
different size.
In common usage, the word horoscope also refers to the
astrologer's interpretation of the astrological chart.
In particular, many newspapers and magazines carry
horoscope columns, describing planetary 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 just through the
position of the Sun at the time of birth.
A definition of a horoscope is: the illustration of the
position of the sun, moon, planets and stars from a
given location on earth, usually at birth. Which simply
means, where everything in the universe was in relation
to everything else when a person was born.
The earliest known horoscope was from 409 B.C. where it
started to spread in the East with the conquerors of the
Roman Empire. From there, it started spreading all the
way across to Western Europe, where it was almost
considered a science itself by all learned people. |
