Free Horoscope | Free Astrology | Numerology | Daily Predictions | Love Compatibility | Marriage Compatibility | Match Making 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. The term horoscope is derived from Greek words meaning, "a look at the hours" [horoskopos, pl. horoskopoi,or "marker(s) of the hour."] Other commonly used names for the horoscope in English include horoscope chart, natal chart, natus, birth chart, astrological chart, astro-chart, celestial map, sky-map, nativity, star-chart, cosmogram, Vitasphere, soulprint, radical chart, radix or simply chart, among others. It is used as a method of divination about events relating to the point in time it represents. These may be significant times in a person's life, or any other events on Earth such as storms or earthquakes. Construction of a horoscope To manually create a horoscope an astrologer first has to ascertain the exact time (adjusting for any daylight savings time or war time in use) and place of the subject's birth or the initiation of an event. This is then translated into Greenwich Mean Time at that same instant, which in turn is translated into the sidereal time at Greenwich. The astrologer will then consult a set of tables called an ephemeris which lists for a particular year, date and sidereal GMT time, the location of all the planets, the Sun and Moon with respect to the northern hemisphere vernal equinox or the fixed stars (depending on which astrological system is being used). The astrologer then uses the time difference between GMT and local time at the place of birth to show where planets would be visible above the horizon at the time and place in question. Planets hidden from view beneath the earth are also shown in the horoscope. Finally a table of houses is used to divide the horoscope into 12 divisions around the circle of the ecliptic starting from the eastern horizon where objects are just rising into view. These are called the houses and numerous systems of calculating these divisions exist.
Concept In order to understand and visualize the geometry of the construction of a horoscope, one must be familiar with a number of concepts. The techniques described here belong to Western astrology.
ConstructionThe chart thus begins with a framework of 12 houses. Upon this the signs of the zodiac are superimposed. In the equal house system the cusp between any two houses will fall at the same degree for each of the signs. Thus, for a native whose ascendant is at 12° of Leo, the second house will begin at 12° of Virgo, the third at 12° Libra, and so on. In house systems that take into consideration the effects of the angle of intersection between the planes of the horizon and the ecliptic, the calculations are more complicated. For these calculations it is essential to know the latitude of the event. Tables are available for these calculations, but they are now commonly calculated by computer. Most astrology computer programs allow the user to choose from a variety of house systems. The most commonly used is the Placidus house system, though most research astrologers find that the Koch domification system gets best results. AscendantLongitude is necessary in order to determine the position of the Ascendant because horoscopes use local time. Due to time zones, adjustments are made for the difference in one's actual longitude and the longitude of the nominal meridian associated with clock time.
PlacementsHaving established the relative positions of the signs in the houses, the astrologer positions the sun, moon, and planets at their rightful celestial longitudes. Some astrologers also take note of minor planetary bodies, fixed stars, asteroids (for example, Chiron) and other mathematically calculated points and angles such as the vertex, equatorial ascendant, etc. Many astrologers also use what are commonly referred to as Arabic parts (or Greek Lots), the most common of which is the Part of Fortune (Pars Fortuna). AspectsTo complete the horoscope the astrologer will consider the aspects or relative angles between pairs of planets. Certain aspects are considered more important than others. Those generally recognized by the astrological community are Conjunction (0°), Opposition (180°), Square (90°), Trine (120°), Sextile (60°), Semi-Square (45°), Sesqisquare (135°), and Quincunx (150°). Understandably these aspects are more significant when they are exact, but they are considered to function within an orb of influence, the size of which varies according to the importance of each aspect. Thus conjunctions are believed to operate with a larger orb than sextiles. Most modern astrologers use an orb of 8° or less for aspects involving the Sun, Moon, and Jupiter and smaller orbs for the other points. Some astrologers, such as practitioners of Cosmobiology, and Uranian astrology, use minor aspects (15°, 22.5°, 67.5°, 72°, 75°, 105°, 112.5°, 157.5°, 165°) with much narrower orbs.
