Most astrologers use the tropical zodiac in which the astrological year begins with the vernal equinox when the sun moves into the earth's northern hemisphere. This point is set at 0? of the sign Aries. This is a matter of some dispute with those who would favor the sidereal zodiac that takes into account the precession of the equinoxes. Because of a "wobble" in the earth's axis of rotation over a period of about 26000 years the point at which the vernal equinox advances in the sky by about 50 seconds of arc every year. Advocates of a sidereal zodiac believe that the position of the signs should be fixed relative to the constellations.

Using an ephemeris and a table of houses an astrologer calculates relative positions of the sun, the moon, and the planets for specific time and place in order to erect a horoscope. This diagram, called a chart is a stylized map of the heavens. The sun or the earth is placed in the centre (depending on whether the ephemeris was heliocentric or geocentric) with the remaining elements around the outside: the planets, the lunar nodes, the ascendant and midheaven, and the houses. Then the angles between the planets are designated. These angles are the astrological aspects. Different systems of tri-secting arcs produce houses of different size. The calculation of a horoscope is a complex but purely technical skill normally carried out by computer software such as Astrolabe, Kepler, WinStar or ZET. There are websites which offer automated online astrology services too, such as Astro.com.

In astrology, a horoscope is a chart or diagram representing the positions of the planets and other celestial bodies at the time of an event such as a person's birth. The term horoscope is derived from Greek words meaning, "a look at the hours."
