SIMPLY HOROSCOPE

When someone asks "what's your sign?", people are usually referring to the Sun sign. In short, Sun sign is based on the position of the Sun at the time of our birth. However, horoscope is a lot more than just a position of the Sun. Instead, it is a position of all the planets, moons and other astrological aspects at the time of our birth. According to wikipedia, horoscope is defined as astrological chart or diagram representing the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, astrological aspects, and sensitive angles at the time of an event, such as the moment of person's birth. Derived from Greek, horoscope means "time" and "observer".  In order to get a full horoscope reading, a person would need their exact time of birth (date, hour, minutes) as well as the place of birth.

Interestingly, horoscope does seek answers in the natural words as science would support, however, horoscope does not attempt to critically evaluate whether those explanations are valid. Furthermore, psychological tests have shown that horoscope readings are generic enough to satisfy most of the individuals.
