A weekly horoscope and a monthly horoscope sound like two different products. On this site they are one forecast, read at two different lengths. Each takes your birth chart, walks through the period one day at a time, and notes every planet in the sky that is making an aspect to one of your own planets or angles. Those contacts are transits, and the only thing that changes between a week and a month is how long the walk is.

That changes almost everything else. Over a week, Pluto barely moves. Over a month, the Sun crosses a whole sign and touches several of your planets on the way. Each length has its own planets, and the reports are built around that.

How the forecast is put together

For every day of the period, the report checks the position of each planet in the sky against each point of your chart. When a transiting planet is within orb of an aspect to one of your planets, that day counts for it, and the closer it is to exact, the more it counts. A transit that stays tight for the whole month piles up more weight than one that passes through in an afternoon.

At the end, every transit of the period is ranked by that accumulated weight, and the list is shown in order of importance. That is the main thing to understand about these reports: they are not a diary of the days. They are a ranking of what the period is mostly about, with the dates attached.

What the stars mean

Each transit carries one to five stars. The ranked list is divided into five equal parts: the top fifth gets five stars, the next fifth four, and so on down. On the weekly and monthly pages you see the transits with three, four and five stars, which is the part of the list worth your time.

The stars are relative to the period. A five-star transit is one of the strongest things in that week or that month, not a measure against the rest of your life. In a quiet week, a modest Venus trine can earn five stars simply because nothing louder showed up. It is a little like being named the best singer in a family where everyone else is shy.

The week: the middle-speed planets

The weekly horoscope runs from Monday to Sunday, for this week or any of the ten after it. A week is exactly the right length for the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars. They move roughly a degree a day, give or take, so one of their aspects builds, becomes exact and separates inside the seven days. That is a story a week can tell from beginning to end.

The Moon is left out of the weekly ranking. It goes round the whole zodiac in about four weeks, so in seven days it touches a large part of your chart, and if it were included it would push everything else down the list. Its effect is real, but it lasts hours, and a week described hour by hour is no longer a week.

The slow planets are still there when they are active, and they usually sit near the top, because a slow transit that is tight all week accumulates a lot of weight. Read them as the background of the week rather than its events: Saturn on your Moon will say the same thing next week too.

The month: when things become exact

The monthly horoscope covers any calendar month you choose, past or future. A month is long enough for the Sun to cross a whole sign, for Venus and Mars to finish their business, and for Jupiter and Saturn to move just enough that an aspect can become exact and start to separate. The Moon is left out here too, for the same reason as in the week, only more so.

The month is where the dates start to matter. Look for the day a slow transit becomes exact: that is often when something that has been in the background for weeks becomes something you can name. Then look at the houses. If several transits are moving through your sixth house, the month is about work and daily routine, whatever else it is doing.

What you find inside each report

Each transit comes with a reading, the stars, the dates it is active and the houses the transiting planet moves through. Under it there is a day-by-day table you can open, with the planet's position, the orb and the house for each day. Both pages also draw a transit timeline: one row per aspect, a dot on every day it is active and a filled dot on the day it is exact, so you can see at a glance which contacts overlap. You can download it as a PDF.

Above the readings, a button asks the AI astrologer for a single synthesis of the period, using one of your astrologer questions: useful when the list is long and you want the three things that actually carry it.

And for a whole year: the yearly PDF

Over twelve months the fast planets stop meaning anything: the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars each touch most of your chart in a year, which tells you nothing about this year in particular. So a year is not a third length of these pages but a report of its own, the Yearly Horoscope, offered among the PDF reports. It keeps Jupiter and the slower bodies only, one chapter per planet: Jupiter for opportunities, Saturn for limitations and responsibilities, Uranus for the unexpected, Neptune for illusions and ideals, Pluto for deep change, the North Node for karmic lessons, Chiron for healing, and Lilith for what you want and what you refuse.

Reading them together

The two lengths work best as layers. The month tells you which part of the season is arriving now. The week tells you which days inside the month are which. When a fast planet crosses the same point a slow planet is already sitting on, that day often becomes the one people remember from the whole month.

A birth time adds the houses and the Ascendant, which are the part of the forecast that says where in your life something is happening. Without one, the aspects to your planets are still correct, but the Moon may be a few degrees out and the houses are left out rather than guessed.

And as with every forecast on this site, these describe tendencies, not events. A difficult week is not a warning, and an easy month is not a promise. They tell you what the period is asking of you; what you do with it is not in the chart, which is good news for everyone who has ever surprised themselves.

When you are ready, open your weekly horoscope or your monthly horoscope, or see the Yearly Horoscope among the PDF reports.

Frequently asked questions

Are these horoscopes written for my Sun sign?
No. They are calculated from your whole birth chart, so two people with the same Sun sign born a week apart get different forecasts, and two people born on the same day in different places get different houses.

Why is the Moon missing from the weekly and monthly horoscope?
Because it moves too fast for those lengths. The Moon touches a large part of your chart in a few days, and its contacts last hours. Included, it would crowd out the transits that actually shape the week or the month. You can see its daily role in the daily forecast.

What do five stars mean?
That the transit is in the top fifth of that period's ranking. The stars compare transits within the same week or month, so five stars in a quiet week and five stars in a busy one are not the same weight.

Is there a yearly horoscope?
Yes, as a PDF report rather than a page. Over a whole year only Jupiter and the slower bodies say something particular to that year, so the Yearly Horoscope is built from them alone, one chapter per planet.

Do I need my birth time?
For the aspects to your planets, no. For the houses, the Ascendant and an exact Moon, yes. Without a time the report gives you what is happening, but not where in your life it is happening.
