Horoscope comes from the Latin horoscopus, which is in turn derived from the Greek ὡρόσκοπος (horoskopos). This is translated as “observer of the hour”. In the early 11th Century, the Latin word was still widely used to refer to this practice of charting the stars. It was only during the Early Modern English era that the anglicized horoscopes was used.

In essence, a horoscope is a map of the heavens during a particular period in time. It is also called an astrological chart, a celestial map, a sky map, a star chart, a cosmogram, a vitasphere, a radical chart, a radix or a chart wheel.

While the exact history of horoscopes is unknown, the methodology behind it – astrology – has been around for ages. Astrological doctrines have been found dating as far back as the Babylonian era. They developed a system of omens around the 2nd millennium BCE. Horoscopic astrology began during Alexandrian conquests around 1st Century BCE. This is when early Babylonian astrology mixed with Egyptian traditions. It spread from Alexandrian Egypt to the ancient world into Europe, Middle East and India.

As the centuries progressed, astrology’s more scientific counterpart astronomy became the center of attention. Astrology faded in the background as a shadow of a new science. During the 11th Century, Persian astronomer Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī was among the first to clearly differentiate the semantics of astronomy and astrology.

In the olden days, astrology was considered more of a science than an art. The reading of constellations and celestial bodies and their positions relative to each other is said to provide information about personalities and events.

It played an important role in the shaping of early cultures. In fact, much of what we know of modern day astronomy has strong basis on astrology. Astronomy was practiced to heed the desire for predictive or divinatory knowledge. The separation between the two only became apparent in the Renaissance period.

Today, one of the most popular uses of astrology is the generation of horoscopes. And it comes in many shapes and sizes. You can get a personal horoscope or an astrology chart customized for your exact date and time of birth. You can get a horoscope based on your zodiac sign – and even with this, there’s the Western version and the Eastern version. Medium is another differentiating factor for horoscopes, these are available as email horoscopes, phone horoscope or as displayed daily on websites.

Astrology plays an important role in many people’s lives. Some use it to guide their business and financial decisions. Others consult the stars regarding love. Then there are those who simply cannot live without their daily horoscope reading.

However you choose to use Astrology or the amount of belief you put into it, is really relative to your lifestyle. If you think that a personal astrologer would help you gain better insight on your life and be able to take better control of it, then by all means, consider getting one to work with you on a long-term basis.

Here are five tips to help you select the right astrology counselor:

Experience – The number of years a person has been working as an astrologer lends wisdom to their readings that you might not find from someone who is relatively new to this science-art. You should try to ask your candidates how they learned astrology. A good astrologer would share with you their education, training and total number of years they have been practicing astrology.

Cost – Service is not always free. Some astrologers can probably give you a sample reading, but for a long-term relationship, you need to know what kind of payments to make.

Tools and Methods – Find out what kind of astrology he or she practices. Will you have a personalized birth chart at the end of your session? Does the astrologer focus on mundane astrology, esoteric astrology, horary astrology, electional astrology or Vedic astrology? Having a bit of background on the types of astrology would also help you make a selection.

Horoscopic Astrology is a one of the many astrological systems in existence today. Some claim it developed in the Mediterranean region during the late 2nd or early 1st century BC. It is also closely linked to the Vedic astrology, which some say is the oldest surviving form of horoscopic astrology.

In Vedic astrology a two-dimensional diagram divides the heavens. Horoscopes, or astrological charts, are created from this by measuring the alignment of the celestial bodies against specific moments in time and from a specific point on Earth. The horoscope is also divided into 12 celestial houses. To properly cast a horoscope, calculations are performed using arithmetic and geometry.

Horoscopic astrology is different from other astrological traditions because of the computation of the degree of the Eastern horizon rising against the backdrop of the ecliptic at the specified moment. This is also known as the ascendant.

Taurus is the second astrological sign in the zodiac. It is symbolized by the bull. Strangely, it is considered a feminine, negative sign. It is ruled by the planet Venus (along with the zodiac Libra).

People whose birthdays fall between April 21 and May 20 are said to be born under this horoscope star sign. Taurus is also considered an earth sign. As such, they are very much in touch with their senses. They enjoy those they can see, feel, smell, hear and taste. They are very warm-hearted and loving people. Taureans are compatible with Capricorns and Virgos.

They are often described as those who play it cool and are always calm. They are patient and reliable, but can also be persistent and determined. Sometimes, that persistence is translated into being bull-headed and stubborn.

As a negative sign, they tend to be introverts. They keep their feelings well hidden. This makes them seem somewhat aloof or even snobby. They can sometimes be self-indulgent, and in extreme cases, greedy.
