Check the daily horoscope for your sign on multiple sites.

Search for “daily horoscope” to find many, many options. The trick isn’t finding a daily horoscope, it’s choosing which ones to trust! It’s really up to you to decide: you might rely on the highest-rated search results, listen to the advice of friends, or just read lots of different horoscopes and decide for yourself which ones resonate most with you.^{[2]

- When looking at a daily horoscope, read the one that corresponds with your zodiac sign. If you’re a Libra, for instance, pick out the Libra horoscope from the 12 options for that day and read it for daily guidance.
- Different daily horoscopes can give you very different readings for the same day. But that doesn’t mean you have to reject them altogether! Instead, look for any common threads that run through multiple readings—and always trust your instincts about what feels right.
- Popular sites include Astrology.com, Horoscope.com, Cafe Astrology, Astrology Zone, and Astro Style, to name just a few.

Look at your monthly horoscope as well.

Most daily horoscope sites also offer monthly or weekly readings. A traditional horoscope gives you specific guidance for today, but you can also get longer-range insight just as easily. Monthly horoscopes are very common, and weekly ones are widespread as well, so check out your daily, weekly, and monthly readings to get well-rounded guidance.^{[3]

Search for horoscopes on “work,” “love,” and so on.

For guidance on your job or love life, get a targeted reading. Daily horoscopes typically provide broad guidance that’s useful in many areas of life, but you may be looking for something more specific. Thankfully, many popular daily horoscope sites also offer topic-based horoscopes.^{[4]

Find readings based on your zodiac elemental category, if desired.

The 12 zodiac signs are grouped in 4 categories with distinct attributes. Like the 4 elements they represent, the 4 elemental categories—fire, earth, air, and water—have unique qualities. That said, there isn’t universal agreement on what these qualities are, so it pays to check out multiple astrology sites for guidance. Here’s one example:^{[9]

- Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) leads you to be outgoing and inspirational, but possibly also selfish or overly passionate.
- Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) makes you more practical and cautious, sometimes to the point of being fearful and unrealistic.
- Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) leads you to be a good communicator and a seeker of knowledge, yet perhaps with your “head in the clouds” too much.
- Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) makes you more emotional and creative, but can also lead you to exaggerate your feelings beyond reasonable levels.

Get a free natal (birth) chart if you want more specific readings.

Natal charts are easy to make if you know your birth time and place. A natal (or birth) chart uses your specific date, time, and place of birth to lay out the locations of astronomical bodies that are believed to have a significant impact upon you. Here’s an easy process for getting a free natal chart online:^{[10]

- Provide your place of birth—or the city closest to it. Some chart makers allow you to enter any town or city, while others use a drop-down menu of cities and ask you to choose the one closest to your birthplace.
- Add a gender selection based on your preferences. Some chart makers have only binary male/female options, so you may have to do more browsing if these categories don’t suit you.
- Read the report to get your sun sign, moon sign, ascendant (rising) sign, and additional planetary signs. Your sun sign is your traditional zodiac sign, but you can also use your moon sign, ascendant sign, and other signs to get additional readings from reputable astrology sites.^{[12]
