The process begins with the astrologer analyzing the current and upcoming movements of the planets, known as transits. By looking at an ephemeris—a table showing the positions of celestial bodies at specific times—the astrologer tracks where major planets like Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the outer planets are moving in relation to the zodiac. ### Applying the Houses of the Zodiac To write forecasts for all twelve signs, the astrologer uses a house system, such as the solar house system or the whole sign house system. Taking each zodiac sign as the first house, the astrologer maps out where the transiting planets fall. For example, if a new moon occurs in Taurus, the astrologer calculates which house that moon occupies for Aries, Gemini, Cancer, and the rest of the signs. This determines the specific area of life—such as career, relationships, or personal growth—that the horoscope will focus on for each sign. ### Drafting the Narrative
Once the astrological data is mapped, the writer translates these planetary aspects into engaging, accessible language. The tone of a Vogue horoscope typically aligns with the publication's sophisticated, fashion-forward, and lifestyle-oriented voice. The writer focuses on themes of self-care, professional ambition, relationship dynamics, and personal reflection, offering practical advice based on the cosmic energy of the week or month. ## How to Read Vogue Horoscopes for the Best Results To get the most value out of Vogue's astrological forecasts, readers should understand how to apply the information to their own lives. ### Read for Both Your Sun and Rising Signs
While most people look up their Sun sign (the sign determined by their birth date), astrologers recommend reading the forecast for your Rising sign, also known as the Ascendant. The Rising sign determines the layout of the astrological houses in a birth chart, meaning the Rising sign horoscope often provides a more accurate description of how current transits will manifest in your daily life. ### Understand the Limitations of General Forecasts It is important to remember that published horoscopes are general forecasts written for millions of people sharing the same sign. They offer broad thematic guidance rather than highly personalized predictions. For specific, individualized insights, a personal birth chart reading with a professional astrologer is required. ## Where to Find Vogue's Astrological Content
