what
does a Horoscope
look like?
Above
you will see a Birth Chart (also known as a Horoscope) it is really
a diagram that depicts the position of the planets in relation to the
earth at the time of birth of an individual, or even the time of any
specific event.
Around
the outside of the Birth Chart above within 12 segments (equidistant
in conventional Astrology or unequal in Huber Astrology which I use),
are the 12 Astrological Sun Signs in sequence. This is a portrayal of
the zodiac which the planets are seen to pass through in the sky when
viewed from Earth.
In
an inner circle is marked all the planets
in our Solar System (including the Sun and the Moon), they are portrayed
relative to the Zodiac.
In
the center of the chart are marked (coloured lines are only used in
Huber Astrology). These lines indicate a certain relationship to each
of the Zodiac signs and Planets. There various individual interpretations
are blended to form the unique character of the individual or event.
the
origins
The
word Horoscope comes from the Greek word 'horoscopos' which means: "I
watch the rising" which is the ascending sign or point in the zodiac
that is rising over the horizon at the time the horoscope is drawn.
in
your Horoscope
A
skilled Astrologer interprets the positions of the planets and their
relationship to the 12 Astrological signs of the Zodiac. Each planet
has meaning, as do each of the signs. These meanings and their interpretation
is an art that is several thousand years old and based on long observation.
The position of the planets has also been subject to long observation
and can be predicted for past present and future.
The
Horoscope as described above is also known as a Birth Chart. Horoscopes
is just the plural form of the word which in popular culture has come
to represent a collection of Horoscopes one for each of the 12 Sun Signs,
each offering a forecast text.
your
Horoscope
The
words "Horoscope and Horoscopes" are used in popular culture
to refer to a text relevant to each sun sign (or star sign), predicting
feelings and a period of future events.
This
is Sun Sign Astrology and by implication each Sun Sign is one twelfth
of the population and though useful at a base level is nowhere near
as accurate as getting an Astrologer to draw up your own personal and
unique Birth Chart.
Horoscopes
can now be found printed within newspapers, magazines and many web sites.
Beware though, they are not always written by a qualified or experienced
Astrologer, in fact in some cases they are entirely "written"
by a computer program, or even a journalist!
Properly
done the Birth Chart is interpreted by an Astrologer who will draw a
Horoscope relating to a period of time and a particular Sun Sign.
A
specialized Computer program can be used that calculates the position
of all the planets and their interrelationships, and the program can
indicated above be used to directly work out the text of the "Horoscope".
But this will never be as accurate, gifted or human as a real Astrologer
intuitively creating the interpretation!

how
can it be accurate ?
The
positions of the planets at any time way back in history, currently
or at virtually any time in the future can be predicted with amazing
accuracy because they follow long observed and regular cycles.
It
is the position of the planets and their interrelationships that is
used to form an interpretation of their meaning, this is where all Astrologers
use long passed down information and a certain degree of intuition.
I
believe that it is the intuition part of Astrology that bears striking
resemblance to other forms of divination such as Tarot, Psychic Readings
and Chinese Astrology, these are but the tools, it is the human with
the skills who does all of the really amazing things!

what
is Astrology ?
Astrology
is
a very ancient practice and throughout the ages has shown that there
is a strong connection between the movements of the planets in our Solar
System, and life on earth.
The Horoscope can reveal our characters, our strengths and weaknesses,
our potential, and our future direction. Most people are familiar with
their star sign, or sun sign (the Zodiac sign that the Sun was in when
we were born), but the Chart also shows our Moon sign, and the signs
that all the other planets were in at the moment of birth and this gives
much greater depth and insight into our character than just the study
of the sun sign.
Astrology thus becomes a tool to greater self awareness so that we can
learn to live life to the full and according to our innermost natures,
enhancing our individuality and self expression.
your
Horoscope
Above
is a Birth Chart drawn by me for 9 am Monday this week. Within it a
symbols for all the Planets and positions of the Zodiac. Depending on
when you were born, planets occur in different signs and this gives
the subtle differences between two people who may share the same Sun
Sign.
e.g. if your Mercury is in Libra, it will be a lot different than if
it were in Sagittarius.
Your
exact time of birth makes a significant difference, hence a Birth Chart
drawn for all the people in the UK who are Sun Sign Aries is going to
be a lot less accurate than one drawn for an individual Aries person.
The
aspects (the coloured lines on your chart, in the center) will also
have an affect on how planets are expressed, as they show the nature
of the relationship between the planets.
The signs are coloured in your chart, according to their element i.e.
Air signs are yellow and the keyword is mentality, Fire signs are red
and the keyword is Instinct, Water signs are blue and the keyword is
Emotion and Earth signs are green and the key word is Practicality.
The chart is divided into twelve sections beginning at the AC on the
left and these show the Houses, or areas of your life e.g. the Fourth
House represents your family, culture and your background, whereas the
Seventh House is concerned with marriage and partnerships. If you have
a few planets in one particular house, then this usually indicates an
area of your life which is especially significant for you.
