The horoscope features 12 sectors around the circle of the ecliptic , starting from the eastern horizon with the ascendant or rising sign. These 12 sectors are called the houses and numerous systems for calculating these divisions exist. Tables of houses have been published since the 19th Century to make this otherwise demanding task easier.

The horoscope serves as a stylized map of the heavens over a specific location at a particular moment in time. In most applications the perspective is geocentric ( heliocentric astrology being one exception). The positions of the actual planets (including Sun and Moon) are placed in the chart, along with those of purely calculated factors such as the lunar nodes , the house cusps including the midheaven and the ascendant , zodiac signs, fixed stars and the lots . Angular relationships between the planets themselves and other points, called aspects , are typically determined. The emphasis and interpretation of these factors varies with tradition

The main features of the site are the weekly horoscopes which are also available by e-mail for free . It's also possible to get your personal daily horoscope based on your birthday or simpler general horoscopes . The word horoscope is derived from Greek words meaning "a look at the hours" (horoskopos , pl. horoskopoi , or markers of the hour. To create a horoscope, an astrologer first has to ascertain the exact time and place of the subject's birth, or the initiation of an event. In astrology , a horoscope is a chart or diagram representing the positions of the Sun , Moon , planets , the astrological aspects , and sensitive angles at the time of an event, such as the moment of a person's birth . Planets hidden from view beneath the earth are also shown in the horoscope. The birth date is represented by two trigrams combined, the so-called hexagram or horoscope.
