What is a horoscope?

A horoscope is an astrological chart that represents the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, astrological aspects and sensitive angles at the time of an event, such as a person's birth. It is also known as a birth chart or natal chart. Horoscopes are used to predict future events and provide guidance on life decisions based on the astrological positions at the time of an event.

Horoscopes are often associated with the Zodiac, which is a circle of twelve 30-degree divisions of the celestial longitude that are centered upon the ecliptic: the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of the year. Each Zodiac sign is associated with specific dates and is said to be influenced by the position of the planets and the stars at the time of a person's birth.

Horoscopes are popular in many cultures around the world and are often found in newspapers, magazines, and online publications. They are also used by astrologers to make predictions and provide guidance to their clients. While some people believe that horoscopes can accurately predict future events, others view them as entertainment or a way to gain insight into their personality and life path.
