An astrological map of the planets and zodiac signs is called a horoscope; the word horoscope is also used to refer to a prediction of the future using such a map. If this all sounds interesting to you, you're in luck!
The Zodiac refers to dividing the ecliptic into twelve signs, each associated with particular dates and representing different personality traits. Astrology is the overarching field, while the Zodiac is a specific tool within it, focusing on the twelve signs.
These signs roughly correspond to the astronomical constellations with the following modern names: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
Western astrology is founded on the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies such as the Sun, Moon and planets, which are analysed by their movement through signs of the zodiac (twelve spatial divisions of the ecliptic) and by their aspects (based on geometric angles) relative to one another.
The word horoscope is derived from the Greek words ōra and scopos meaning time and observer (horoskopos, pl. horoskopoi, or marker(s) of the hour).
