Horoscopes For Your Zodiac

What is your horoscope? It’s more than just a daily blurb in a section of a cheap magazine or the morning paper. Simply put, your horoscope is a chart that is put together based on the date, the time, and the location of your birth. It reflects the position of the sun when you are born. This natal chart is then simplified down into the daily or weekly horoscopes we read on these websites. It is important to note, however, that a full horoscope is much more complex than that. Zodiacs have their root in Babylon and Greece, with a 20^th century resurgence coming now. The signs have a strong influence on personality, character, and emotions. This is what generates so much skepticism. Since each sign and horoscope can apply to so many people, how can it be legit? The word horoscope is derived from Greek words, Ora and scopos, meaning time and observer or markers of the hour. It’s a method of divination regarding events relating to point in time it represents (your birth).

The horoscope is a map created for each person in a specific location at a particular point in time. On the map, the locations of the planets, including the Sun and Moon, are placed on the chart. This is why a birth horoscope or natal chart is necessary for astrocartography. The map also shows lunar nodes, house cusps, the midheaven and ascendant, the twelve common zodiac signs, and fixed stars. These are then used to determine the angular relationships between the planets and zodiacs (aspects). All of this makes up your particular horoscope. The zodiac signs and horoscopes are powerful tools for understanding the self and relationships. They make up a field of predictions for sun signs based on observations of the positions of planets in relation to that sign. As you can see, it’s far more detailed than those few lines of prose in the paper.

Your Personal Horoscope Based On Your Birth Date

How do horoscopes and their map become the horoscope we read? Each of the planets move and shift in and out of power with one another and with us, which is what ultimately impacts our reactions and personalities. A zodiac birth chart is going to represent the position of sun, moon, planets, astrological aspects and sensitive angles at the time of specific events (birth). Horoscopes and birth charts refers to astrologer’s interpretation usually based on system of solar sun sign astrology. This gives you the inner look you may need. There are so many sides to yourself that its hard to understand without help. It is difficult to see your inner personality without an outside perspective. This is because you are too close to your inner self to see personality traits. This is the potential of Astrology; it gives objective outside perspective. Look at aspects of your personality that may not have ever revealed selves to you. What does it mean to be you? Zodiacs and horoscopes function based on thousands of years of human observation. You can find meaning in a system of thought; its a tool for self knowledge. This learning prompts self reflection. By studying this information, you can be more aware of limitations and how to respond. There is a universality of experiences full of value. Horoscopes and zodiacs are based on energies dictated by location of stars and planets at any given moment.

It is important to note that you can get along with any zodiac. If you take the time to understand the astrology behind the signs, then you can understand what makes people tick. You can be compatible with anyone. Easy isn’t always good but some of the pairings may need more work. The benefit of those pairings is the ability to grow more through those connections. It is all based on celestial influences in relation to the zodiacal placement of the sun on the month of the birth, cusp, or decant. To really understand, you need to ascertain the exact time and place of a subject’s birth or initiation of an event. Astrologer converts into local time at birth in order to be able to calculate ascendant and midheaven. The astrologer will next consult a set of tables called an ephemesis. It lists the location of the sun, moon, and planets for a particular year, date, and side real time, with respect to northern hemisphere. The astrologer then adds or subtracts the difference between the longitude of Greenwich and longitude of the place in question. This will determine the true ideal mean time at place of birth to show where planets would be visible above horizon at precise time and place in question. Planets hidden from view beneath Earth are also shown in horoscope.

The horoscope features 12 sectors around a circle of ecliptic, starting from Eastern horizon with ascendant or rising sign. The 12 sectors are called the houses and numerous systems for calculating these divisions exist. Tables of houses have been published since 19^th century to make the otherwise demanding task easier. The fundamental principle of zodiac centers on the 12 familiar signs. From there it has developed its own associations, myths, animals, colors, and characteristics. Every sign boasts an individual approach to life, complete with dynamic strengths and frustrating weaknesses. Your sun sign is the cosmic launching pad for both amateur and professional astrologers. The sun is the core personality, sense of self, basic preferences, and the ways in which you move. No sign is perfect on its own, the diversity of the zodiac is what completes the wheel. Your horoscope is a map of zodiacal circle with Earth at the center. The top of the circle represents the sun at the highest point during day. Horoscope charts relative positions of sun, moon, and planets.

Using the Signs For Your Horoscope

When daily, weekly or monthly horoscopes are created, they start with the first sign in the Zodiac, Aries. Then, using the horoscope map, shift the map along the routes the different planets will take to see which ones are in Dignity, which are in Detriment, which are in Exaltation, and which are in Fall. Its all based on the analysis of the current positions of the Moon, Sun, and planets in the sky and relation to the sun sign. They generalize this information and make a projection based on the personality of the sign and the personality of whichever planets are in position to affect it. A more specific horoscope can be done for a certain individual using their specific natal chart and then tracking the planets in relation to the information that is particular to them. This is how a horoscope is made and written. Make sure you understand its purpose however. It is not about predicting the future, it is about motivating us for our future. No horoscope is expected to be spot on, because it won’t be. As mentioned previously, since signs can represent millions of people, there is no way to narrow down to the personal information. The goal is to entertain people, show that we are not alone, and help sense the atmosphere that the sun needs to handle at that moment in time. Horoscopes can be expansive, complex, and transformative.
