Where it comes from

Borrowed from Middle French horoscope, from Medieval Latin horoscopus, from Ancient Greek ὡροσκόπος (hōroskópos), from ὥρα (hṓra, “any limited time”) + σκοπός (skopós, “watcher”). By surface analysis, horo- + -scope.

noun horoscopes

  1. The position of the planets and stars at the moment of someone's birth; a diagram of such positions.
  2. An astrological forecast of a person's future based on such information. We must talk of the force of circumstances, of imperative necessity, and find fault with the cruel horoscope which ordained such a fate.
