1. What's the difference between the Free Daily Horoscope and the Extended Daily Horoscope?
   
   Please check the AstroShop -> Online services > Extended Daily Horoscope section of the FAQ for the answer.
   
   
2. I have moved - is the Personal Daily Horoscope still valid?
   
   Yes, it is. The only thing that will change is the exact hour of the transits of the faster-moving planets, including the Moon. If you live in a time zone very different from the one you were born in, you can enter your place of residence by clicking on the link Change reference place at the bottom of the Daily Horoscope page. Here, two procedures are possible:
   
   • You have already chosen a reference place and want to change it:
     You will see the town you have chosen and next to it a link named other town. Click on that link and enter your new place of residence. Then click on "continue", and the place will be shown in the drop-down menus. Click on "continue" again in order to save the place and to get back to the horoscope page.
   • Your reference place is the same as your birth place:
     Uncheck the box "use birth place" and click on "continue". Choose a country and enter the name of your new place of residence. Then click on "continue", and the place will be shown in the drop-down menus. Click on "continue" again in order to save the place and to get back to the horoscope page.
   The Free Daily Horoscope then gives you the exact hour of transits according to the time zone of your place of residence.
   
   
3. How can a planet be in more than one house during a certain period of a time?
   
   Every so often, planets become retrograde or 'backwards-moving', when seen from the Earth. When this happens, they move back into the astrological house they have just come from before finally moving on. For example, Mercury could pass from the third house on to the fourth, then back again into the third. After a while, Mercury will change direction again, moving through the last part of the third house in direct motion, before carrying on through the fourth.
   In the Daily Horoscope Calendar, Mercury will be regarded as being in the third house until he finally leaves it, even if he has already been in the fourth house for a while during the same period.
   To get a detailed overview of Mercury's movement, please select the 'Graphical Ephemeris for one year' in the 'extended chart selection -> Astrodienst Special', or visit the 'printable ephemeris section' accessible from our homepage via the menu in the left column.
   
   
4. Could you offer the Void of Course Moon times, both mundane and personal?
   
   The mundane void of course Moon is listed in the Daily Horoscope under "Mundane Events".
   The personal void of course Moon can easily be deduced from the information given in the Daily Horoscope. We list both, all personal Moon transits and the Moon's ingress into a new sign. Find the last Moon transit in the list. This marks the beginning of your personal void of course Moon. As with the mundane VOC Moon, it ends when the Moon changes signs.
   
   
5. How can I print the Planetary Hours?
   
   If you click on the blue link "Planetary Hours", you will come to a page with all the details. You can print out this page using the print function of your browser.
   
   
6. How can two people born at different times have exactly the same daily horoscope?
   
   The daily horoscope is based on the transits of the moving planets in the sky over the planets or other points in a person's birth chart. A transit happens when a moving planet crosses the location of a natal planet, or forms a particular angle (aspect) to it. (see also: FAQ - What are transits?)
   Two people can have one or more natal planets at the same or a very close position. For example, two people, one born on March 7, 1960 and the other born on February 14, 1962 will have their natal Mars at nearly the same position at 9 degrees Aquarius.
   Now, when a moving planet P happens to cross over 9 degrees Aquarius, both will have the transit 'P conjunct Mars'. Depending on what other transits happen for both people at the same time, it is quite possible that both persons will have this identical transit selected on the day of the crossing in their daily horoscope, effectively getting the same daily horoscope for that day.
   Also, all other transits involving natal Mars will happen on the same day for these two, even when they have otherwise very different charts, just because they share the 'same' Mars.
