A horoscope is an astrological interpretation based on celestial positions. Modern sun-sign horoscopes simplify a larger tradition that also uses birth charts, planets, houses and aspects.

Sun-sign horoscopes

Popular horoscopes usually group readers by the zodiac sign occupied by the Sun at birth.

Birth charts

A full astrological birth chart uses the date, time and place of birth to map planets and other points into signs and houses.
