Horoscope is a diagram of the position of planets & signs of the zodiac at a particular time and place. It is a mirror in which an astrologer can see one's past, present and future. Horoscope is like a snapshot of a particular place in time and space. If that instant in time is the time of birth of an individual and the space is his birth place, then that horoscope is called a natal horoscope or natal chart or birth chart. There are 12 houses in a horoscope from which an astrologer can predict about various areas of the life of an individual.
