What is the difference between astrological sign and horoscope?
As previously explained, a person’s astrological sign is determined simply by the position of the sun at the time of birth. The horoscope, however, is literally a map of the heavens showing the exact position of the sun, moon, and planets. It is mathematically calculated using the exact date, hour, and location of an individual’s birth. Many people are born on the same date but at a different hour. Many are born on the same date and in the same hour, but not in the same place. An individual’s horoscope is calculated using all three of these variables. Every four-minute interval produces a slightly different chart, and even twins are rarely born within such a narrow space of time. The horoscope is indeed a unique chart, no two individuals have the same one. This is the reason why an astrologer can define an individual’s nature and temperament in a most subtle and personal manner.
