What is a horoscope?
A horoscope is an astrological map of the heavens keyed to the time and place of a specific birth. It is a kind of a map that appears as a two dimensional chart. It shows position of the Sun, the Moon, and planets at the precise moment of your birth. The earth moves from west to east & hence the Sun appears to move from east to west. The 360 degree circle of the zodiac is divided into 12 parts of 30 degrees each called the zodiac signs.
Each sign has special characteristics that mark and distinguish it from others. In setting up this astrological map for the birth of a native we divide the circle into twelve sections. These areas are called houses. Each house defines a specific area. The first house concerns the native's personal identity. The second house deals wit the native's earning power or source of supply. The third house concerns the native's thoughts or sense of communication, etc.
The horoscope map, in addition to house areas and spatial designators called signs, also contains a third symbol—the planets, including the Sun and Moon.
While the houses of the horoscope identify areas of experience and the signs set the stage under which these areas of experience will operate, the planets act as symbols of force or the focus of attention bringing the other two elements together.
A correct interpretation of all these sky bodies exposes much about you. They could be thought of as weather conditions in the sky at the moment of your birth. You can treat this map as a guide of your personality. But it doesn't mean that all your life has already been decided. It's largely up to you to decide that. While you usually have freedom of choice or free will, the horoscope does reflect the natural inclinations you have, the lessons you have to learn, the issues to be faced, and the problems to be solved. These "weather conditions" shows the energies you've been given. The use that you make of these energies, or opportunities, if you will, depends upon you, the individual. In other words, the information learned from your horoscope may only give you some insights and understanding of the reasons why you behave as you do.

ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
You can get pushier than usual (which is saying a lot) without stepping on anyone's toes today. It's a good time to remember your tact, even when you think it might come across as disingenuous.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Kick back and enjoy the flood of great energy -- you should have fond feelings bubbling up for friends and family! It's a great day to just enjoy what you've got and not worry about getting more.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 21)
Have you been putting off paying some bills or dealing with some other paperwork? Today is perfect for clearing your desk or to-do list of the small stuff that might start to add up soon.
CANCER (June 22 - July 22)
You're in charge, even if you're the only one who recognizes that. It's a good time to re-assert your authority in a way that everyone has to acknowledge. Things should be smoother after that.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Your attitude needs a minor adjustment, so see if you can spot when you're taking on too much and try to let go instead. Others can step in, even if it seems you're the only one with any competence.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Your left-brain is working overtime and you might be able to work through all kinds of tough problems that can be resolved logically. If you're stumped, wait a few days and tap into your intuition.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 23)
Try to find an impartial observer to help with a disagreement you're having with a good friend or close relative -- it's vital to get a different perspective in order to bring it to resolution.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 21)
You're squared off against a rival in love or work and you need to fight back pretty hard! Of course, you're just as good with subtle measures as you are with a direct assault, so work your options.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Don't despair -- you can easily handle all the minor challenges facing you today. It might seem as if there's not enough time, but you can prioritize and work through everything of importance.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
It's incredibly easy for you to keep yourself locked in focus like a laser beam -- your great mental energy keeps you disciplined and engaged. If you don't have any crucial projects, pick something fun!
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Not every day can be filled with fun and excitement -- sometimes you've just got to deal with bills and fussy kids and other, slightly boring, challenges. Just deal and wait for that surge in the future!
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Go easy on someone today -- even if you're not sure whether or not they really deserve it. You may need to explain yourself to a peer or family member who's (moderately) outraged about it.
