Horoscopes are astrological systems that provide insight into the future based on the position of the sun, moon, and planets at the time of a person's birth. There are different types of horoscopes that use different astrological systems to interpret this information. Below are some of the most common types of horoscopes:

  • Western horoscopes: Also known as tropical horoscopes, these are the most popular type of horoscope in the Western world. They are based on the tropical zodiac, which divides the sky into 12 equal sections based on the position of the sun on the vernal equinox. Western horoscopes focus on the position of the sun at the time of a person's birth.
  • Vedic horoscopes: Also known as Jyotish, these horoscopes originate from India and are based on the sidereal zodiac. The sidereal zodiac divides the sky into 12 equal sections based on the position of the fixed stars. Vedic horoscopes focus on the position of the moon at the time of a person's birth.
