In common usage, the word horoscope also refers to the interpretation given by the astrologer about the calculated celestial bodies positions.

The zodiac refers to a band on the celestial sphere containing the signs. It is centered on the plane of the ecliptic, and its width is sufficient to allow for the fact that the plane of the orbits of the moon and all other planets is not parallel to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a width of approximately 18?.

The houses are a series of twelve intervals on the plane of the ecliptic. Astrologers have devised at least nine different ways of calculating the positions of those houses. Just as this article does not seek to discuss the validity of astrology, it is also beyond its scope to attempt to resolve questions which may be disputed among astrologers. The use of a particular system of house division is often more a result of what calculations are available than of any conscious consideration of one system's merits over that of an other. Similarly, explanations in this article based on the Equal House System are not meant to give any theoretical preference to that system; it is simply the system whose geometry is easiest to understand. Using an Equal House System the ecliptic is divided into twelve equal spaces of 30? each. The first house begins at the ascendant and the others are numbered consecutively counterclockwise from that point. The first six are all below the horizon, and the later six are all above. The positions of these houses remains fixed relative to the native. The signs move through the houses. The planets move through the signs.
