A horoscope aka celestial map or western astrology is a diagram that represents the positions of the sun, moon and planets at the time of an event such as your birth. The time that you are born represents what sign you are and using that you can understand personality traits and predict an event that might happen on a certain day.  Some people follow astrology religiously for daily advice and others follow astrology just for fun!  Please see the general descriptions below followed by your updated horoscope for the week.
