    I’m a professional astrologer, and I do write two columns for magazines. I write/predict the horoscope using an ephemeris, which is a chart that shows you the planets positions in the sky. Planets and constellations are always moving around and going into different areas. That’s the traditional astrology, but I will be honest with you, I use clairvoyance as well. I have a look at the general aspects around in the sky/ in the stars, but then I also pick up on the influences around me and use that.
    I get a fair amount of fan mail and public recognition for being accurate but honestly I think it’s impossible to predict every single person every single day or every single week.

    I think most of the horoscopes are made up, or copied from another source. Zodiacs tell us our personalities and by knowing our personalities its easy to make a horoscope based on our personality. A Cancer is moody. The horoscope might say you will have something happen today that will upset you. The Virgo is very organized. The horoscope might say you will get to work on something today that will make things easier on you. i could make up a horoscope for every sign and be guessing. Its the same as fortune cookies, they seem to be right 50% of the time, maybe because we can find anything in our lives that match what it says. Zodiacs and the characteristics, i do believe in, but horoscopes, not really. Have a great day.

    I think they just make it up, randomnly writing down what pops into their heads, stringing together a few fancy-sounding phrases or taking it from their ready stock of "things that happen to people".

    Sex with you is an earth-shattering experience, especially the part where hundreds of Indonesians lose their lives.

    Cancer June 22 – July 22
    The human body is a work of art, which explains why those security guards won’t let you touch it.

    Leo July 23 – August 22
    Being bright, handsome, and exceptionally talented isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. So at least you’ve got that going for you.

    Virgo August 23 – September 22
    You’ll feast on the flesh of your mortal enemy, which is lucky for you, as your mortal enemy is the orange-braised duck.

    Libra September 23 – October 23
    Turns out it was the butler, in the study, with the candlestick. But enough about your love life.

    Scorpio October 24 – November 21

    Horoscopes are written up based on the planetary positions in the sky. Each planet has characteristics based on its position in the sky and how they are placed in relation to each other. For individual horoscope based on the sign at the time of birth at horizon, the relationship is determined and then characteristics are predicted as horoscopes.
