Romance Horoscope Basics

Posted by admin in Horoscopes on March 8, 2010

You’ve all read them in the papers, your daily horoscope, detailing whether you’ll be lucky in love today or that perhaps you just might want to slow down that steamy office romance that he started a few weeks ago. Just about everyone reads their romance horoscope, whether they believe in them or not, because most of the time, a romance horoscope is just plain fun. Still, many believe and seriously consider what is contained in a romance horoscope, whether it comes from the daily newspaper or it’s offered through a psychic reading.

Starting with the basics, most people in the Western astrological world use the Zodiac as their horoscope. Eastern astrological signs are different and animals are used to represent romance horoscope signs. The Zodiac as applied in Western astrology can even go so far as to determining what Zodiac signs are compatible with yours. If you’re interested in a romance horoscope, it’s best to become somewhat familiar with the signs and personalities associated with each Zodiac figure. For example, those born from April 21 to May 21 are generally considered to be born under the astrological sign of the bull, or Taurus. Be advised however, that these dates follow the ‘Tropical Zodiac’ format. A tropical date is used mostly in the United States and Europe and uses the hemisphere as a separation guideline. A sidereal zodiac uses the sun and star alignments as a guideline and is used mostly in India. This date format will give the same Taurus sign as being May 15 through June 14. But that’s not all. The astronomical date for Taurus is actually May 14 through June 21. If you try to figure out those romance horoscope options, then you are serious about your readings. Regardless of the dates, each romance horoscope sign is given an element. Still using Taurus as an example, their element sign is Earth. A Ram’s element is fire, a Gemini is air, and a Scorpio is water. More than one astrological romance horoscope can be the same element and that’s where the love matching comes in.

Temperaments can also be determined using a romance horoscope and the various energies and element that are associated with each Zodiac sign. For example, a Leo is expected to be generous, proud and theatrical. A Libra will likely be cooperative and fair. A Sagittarius is straightforward and can be rather careless. Using such information can make a romance horoscope reading much more detailed and thorough, for those who know how to take the information and relate it to their circumstances.

Many believers of astrology and romance horoscope readings believe that certain ’signs’ or ‘elements’ belong together, or not, and that their relationship is predetermined by their signs as well. A romance horoscope will state that an Aries matched with an Aries will experience a fervent relationship, while a Gemini matched with a Virgo will have an ‘unusual’ relationship. A Libra matched with a Pisces may experience a fairytale love. A zodiac love match can be made by using a romance horoscope to determine what ’sign’s are most compatible with yours.

The Horoscope: an Introduction

Posted by admin in Horoscopes on January 27, 2010

Many people have developed the habit of checking out the horoscope in their morning paper. It has been estimated that horoscopes, whether in the local paper, in glossies, or online publications, have a wide readership. Famous people like the Reagans believed in the horoscope. In fact, Mrs. Reagan consulted a fortune teller named Carroll Righter to assist her in planning out her husband’s engagements based on his daily horoscopes. The late Princess Diana also had a close psychic friend who regularly gave her horoscope interpretations.

A brief history of the horoscope

Many people love to check out the daily horoscope in the morning paper, but few know its history. Your weekly horoscope is the product of the study of astrology, which dates back 3,000 years in Babylonia, which is now present-day Iraq. The study uses a variety of charts and diagrams that represent the sun, moon, and planets, which are interpreted along with sensitive angles based on the times of significant events, such as birthdays. Astrology was further developed by the Greeks, who named celestial objects in honor of their gods. The study of astrology was banned in the middle Ages, although it experienced a reawakening in the Renaissance. Presently, two-thirds of the newspapers in the US carry a horoscope section. Astrology horoscopes are subject to the interpretation of the astrologer. Most modern horoscopes today rely only on the astrologer’s interpretation through a system of sun sign astrology.

Why believe in the horoscope

Although the horoscope is not an exact science, math is still an integral part of reading a horoscope. Contrary to popular opinion, a reading of a romantic horoscope or a birthday horoscope is no piece of cake. The construction of daily or weekly horoscopes require the knowledge of the date of a certain time or event, which is translated into Greenwich Universal time and further into Greenwich sidereal time. A table called the ephimeris is consulted, and further additions and subtractions will then lead to the true local mean time of the place of birth to know the planets visible above the horizon of the place at the time in question.

Where you can get your horoscope

You can get your horoscope reading from almost anywhere these days. Magazines, whether in print or online, newspapers, and even radio shows all feature horoscopes, such as weekly horoscopes, yearly horoscopes, daily love horoscopes, and tarot horoscope readings. You can also get a personal horoscope reading by consulting a psychic. There are horoscope telephone hotlines that you can call 24/7, as well as TV shows where you can call in to have your horoscope read.

You can also obtain your horoscope online. Various online websites offer free readings of your yearly horoscope, monthly horoscope, and weekly horoscope. The good thing about looking in the Internet is that you can get your online horoscopes for free, just make sure that the site you are using is credible. Looking for a mate? Consult your love horoscope on your favorite romance horoscope site online or in horoscope magazines and see what the stars have in store for you. You can find good websites that feature daily love horoscopes that will not require a fee. Some people believe, however, that the best horoscope sites out there are usually the ones that require a small subscription.
