So it really is a diagram that depicts the position of the planets in relation to the earth at the unique time of birth of an individual, or even the time of a specific event.
The diagram, is also known as a Birth Chart.

This is a Horoscope, it is also known as a Birth Chart. The text named as Horoscopes in your magazine,newspaper or favourite web site is actually the written interpretation of the Birth Chart / Horoscope. In effect it is a picture of your connection to the Universe.
What Does A Horoscope Look Like?
Around the outside of the Birth Chart above within 12 segments (equidistant in conventional Astrology or unequal in Huber Astrology which I use), are the 12 Astrological Sun Signs in sequence. This is a portrayal of the zodiac which the planets are seen to pass through in the sky when viewed from Earth.
In an inner circle is marked all the planets in our Solar System (including the Sun and the Moon), they are portrayed relative to the Zodiac.
In the center of the chart are marked (coloured lines are only used in Huber Astrology). These lines indicate a certain relationship to each of the Zodiac signs and Planets. There various individual interpretations are blended to form the unique character of the individual or event.
The Origins
The word Horoscope comes from the Greek word 'horoscopos' which means: "I watch the rising" which is the ascending sign or point in the zodiac that is rising over the horizon at the time the horoscope is drawn.
In Your Horoscope
A skilled Astrologer interprets the positions of the planets and their relationship to the 12 Astrological signs of the Zodiac. Each planet has meaning, as do each of the signs. These meanings and their interpretation is an art that is several thousand years old and based on long observation. The position of the planets has also been subject to long observation and can be predicted for past present and future.
The Horoscope as described above is also known as a Birth Chart. Horoscopes is just the plural form of the word which in popular culture has come to represent a collection of Horoscopes one for each of the 12 Sun Signs, each offering a forecast text.
