Definition:
The term horoscope comes from the Greek hora, which means "hour, season" and
skopos, which means "to observe" - thus it is an observation about the status of
various stars and planets at the time of a person's birth which is then used to predict
their character and future. Horoscopes are used in the field of astrology.
