horoscope, in astrology, a chart of the heavens, showing the relative positions of the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the ascendant and mid heaven signs of the zodiac at a specific moment in time. A horoscope is used to provide information about the present and to predict events to come.
An individual horoscope usually plots the moment of birth and is used by astrologers to analyze character, as well as—in conjunction with other astrological data—to predict the future
