Astrology is a very ancient science. Even in ancient times, it was noticed that the date of birth can affect fate. If people are influenced by the same planet, their characters may be similar. Different cultures had their own characteristics and types of horoscopes, but today only the most popular and universal versions remain. Do you want to know more about it?

What is a horoscope?
In translation from the ancient Greek language, the word "horoscope" means "a voyeur of his term." During the year, the sun makes a visible movement, forming a large circle of the celestial sphere (ecliptic). In each time period, certain celestial bodies influence the Earth. A horoscope is a display of the position of the Sun, Moon and other planets on the ecliptic at a given moment.
Types of horoscopes will be presented later. It is curious that the ancient astrologers attached a different meaning to this word. Horoscope in AncientGreece was called a certain sign in relation to the rising sign of the ecliptic.
How astrologers build their predictions
A horoscope can be built not only regarding the fate of a person or for the upcoming period. With its help, it will be possible to predict the success of an event with a certain accuracy. It is enough to know the geographic coordinates and time of the event.
A horoscope is a kind of projection of celestial bodies onto a given area and time period. However, instead of the usual coordinates, it is customary to take into account the ecliptic longitude for a particular object. This value is expressed in angular degrees. Conventionally, the ecliptic is divided into the zodiac circle, which is divided into certain sectors. There are twelve of these sections, and each of them accounts for thirty degrees. Now we will take a closer look at the types of horoscopes.
Natal
The word "natal" indicates that the horoscope refers to the exact date of birth of a person. Compiled individually. To do this, you need to know not only the day, month and year of birth, but also the exact time in hours and minutes (a small error is allowed), as well as the geographical coordinates of the small homeland.
It is believed that all types of horoscopes by date of birth most fully reflect the fate of the individual. A natal horoscope is able to open a person's eyes to his potential, inclinations and some life circumstances.
Local horoscope
As you can guess, thisthe horoscope does not depend on the place of birth, but on the current place of residence of a person. In order to build it, you also need to know the exact date of birth. Most often, people who want to change their place of residence resort to it. Thus, you can choose the best city for yourself or avoid mistakes if the move will cause trouble.
Karmic
This type of horoscope is usually built by astrologers to find out exactly how past lives affect the current fate of a person. Created by the ascending lunar node.
Thematic horoscope
In this publication, we analyze in detail the types of horoscopes. Thematic, in particular, are built in order to more fully reveal the circumstances of life, its various spheres. So, for example, the rising sign, transferred to the degree of Venus, reveals the possibilities of love and romantic relationships. Mercury is responsible for the intellect and the implementation of professional skills.
Synastric horoscope
This horoscope is made up in order to find out the compatibility of two subjects. Often used in choosing a partner for marriage.
Numerological
Modern science is universal, it has absorbed all the best ever created by great scientists and thinkers. Currently, there are more simplified horoscopes. Different types of mathematical calculations allow you to find out the fate of a person by a digital and alphabetic code. The most popular method adopted as the basis of a numerological horoscope is the Pythagorean theorem. It is curious that thisthe outstanding ancient Greek mathematician was also a mystic.
Chinese Horoscope
If we consider the types of horoscopes by year, the most popular source of information to this day remains the Eastern calendar. The Chinese horoscope focuses on the influence of the astronomical rhythms of Saturn, Jupiter and the Moon and is divided into twelve-year cycles. Astrologers make a generalized forecast for each of the twelve signs.
Egyptian Horoscope
We know that there are types of horoscopes according to the year of birth (natal, local, Chinese). In ancient Egypt, astrologers could consider the hidden possibilities of a person using short time periods by months. This is a rather complex system that has not taken root in modern society. If in the Chinese horoscope the patrons of one or another sign are animals, then in the Egyptian each period of time is controlled by a deity.
Zodiac signs
The modern zodiac circle was developed, simplified and put into use by the English astrologer Alan Leo at the very beginning of the 20th century. At first, he created horoscopes individually, but due to the large number of orders, he was forced to reduce his own calculations to a truncated form. It turned out that we all use it with pleasure to this day. The sign of the zodiac is oriented towards the influence of the Sun in relation to the natal horoscope. There are 12 of them in a year. However, each new sign replaces the previous one not from the beginning of the month, but on the twentieth.
