Horoscopes Explained

Many people assume that a daily horoscope is tailored exactly to the individual. This is not entirely accurate, as it would require retrieving every single persons’ birth information such as their birth date, time, and location. Instead, astrologers place the Sun Sign on the first house and then follow the signs in order for each house thereafter.

So, if the Moon was in Virgo today, you would be able to see which house is being affected by your Sun Sign by looking at which house is ruled by Virgo.

Horoscopes also vary according to the length of time they describe. The following explains the method in which daily, monthly, yearly, and long-term horoscopes are written.

Daily Horoscopes

The daily horoscope is written using the moon sign as a basis. This is because the moon changes sign every 2 – 2 1/2 days. This, in turn, changes our moods and emotions from day to day so naturally, the moon would affect us on a daily basis. This explains why one’s moon sign is the foundation for one’s daily horoscope.

Monthly Horoscopes

The monthly horoscope is written using the mercury, venus, mars, and sun sign because these planets change every month or over the course of a couple of months. Because our communication, love lives, aggressive behavior, and identity are influenced by the changing nature of these planets, they are translated into monthly horoscopes. This explains why one’s mercury, venus, mars, and sun sign are the foundation for one’s monthly horoscope.

Yearly Horoscopes

The yearly horoscope is written using the saturn and jupiter sign because these planets remain in a sign for one year and saturn will remain in a sign for 2 – 2 1/2 years. Therefore, our social activity, as well as responsibilities and obligations, are influenced by the changing nature of these planets. Then, this information is translated into horoscopes. This explains why one’s saturn and jupiter sign are the foundation for one’s yearly horoscope.

Long-Term Horoscopes

The long-term horoscope is written using the slower moving planets (generational planets) such as pluto, neptune, and uranus because they take many years to move through one sign so they will affect an entire generation of people over the course or sometimes 8 to 16 years. Because the ideals and behaviors of people is consistent with a large period of time, it is used in long-term circumstances. This explains why one’s pluto, neptune, and uranus are the foundation for one’s long-term horoscope.

Horoscopes are a controversial subject within the field of astrology. Some argue that they are inaccurate because many astrologers base them completely off of one’s sun sign. However, when consulting with an experienced birth chart reader, accuracy is increased. Utilizing one’s birth information such as their birth place, birth time, and birth place are also helpful.

While the soundness of reasoning for horoscopes is debated, the subject continues to captivate many individuals and provide direction and a sense of guidance.
