How to Predict Your Own Horoscope

Most horoscope articles are based on your sun sign. For example, if you’re an Aquarius, it means the sun was in Aquarius when you were born. The more precise your birth time and location, the more accurate the predictions. Because the moon moves quickly, many daily horoscopes use the moon’s current position and the aspects it forms with the sun and other planets in a person’s natal chart to describe day-to-day experiences. This is the approach commonly used by newspapers, magazines, and websites.

Interpretation guidelines:

• If the moon on a given day forms a 90-degree or 180-degree aspect with the sun in the natal chart, emotions can be easily unsettled.
• A 120-degree aspect points to a smooth, easy day.
• A 0-degree aspect strengthens the sign it’s in, turning focus toward inner needs and a sense of security, and often lowering outward activity and expression.
• If the moon forms a challenging aspect with Venus in the natal chart, you may feel dissatisfied with relationships or finances, leading to low motivation.
• If it forms a challenging aspect with Mars, you may be quick-tempered, argumentative, or angry, or feel emotionally edgy due to competitiveness, impatience, or overexertion.
• If it forms a challenging aspect with Mercury, you may encounter situations that create tension or worry.
• If it forms a challenging aspect with Saturn in the natal chart, it may bring feelings of sadness or frustration, or stir up repressed emotions.
• If it forms a challenging aspect with Jupiter, it may not cause deep sadness, but it can lead to carelessness, snap judgments, and hasty actions that result in disorder, unfinished tasks, or imprecise, rash statements.
• If the moon forms a challenging aspect with Neptune in the natal chart, it may bring disappointments, spacing out or losing touch with reality, and confusion from not following plans.
• If it forms a challenging aspect with Pluto, you may encounter situations or people that trigger jealousy, competitiveness, or defensiveness, creating significant mental pressure and emotional strain.
• If it forms a challenging aspect with Uranus, unexpected events may arise, causing emotional instability or behaviors that distance you from others.
• If the moon’s position on a given day forms a challenging angle with the moon in the natal chart, you may feel unmet inner needs, a lack of security, or inexplicable emotional lows.
• If the moon’s involvement turns an existing 90-degree or 180-degree aspect in the natal chart into a T-square (an isosceles right triangle), or shifts an existing T-square into a grand cross, tension and unrest can spike.
• If the moon’s involvement turns an existing 120-degree aspect in the natal chart into a grand trine, it brings especially comfortable, pleasant days.
