The first step in writing a weekly forecast begins with a Equal House Solar Chart for each of the twelve signs. If you need to ask what an Equal House Solar Chart *IS* then you’re most likely not yet at that minimum intermediate level of understanding.

Analysis of the coming week is the next step. It’s your job as the astrologer to look for major aspects and important cosmic occurrences – full and new moons, planets changing signs, planets in retrograde motion, or powerful alignments between planets such as Jupiter conjunct Pluto – and explain to the reader in an insightful and understandable way what they can expect or what the effect of these occurrences may be or bring.

Finally, like most acquired skills your learning how to do this requires practice. Practice. Practice. Practice.

Obviously the quality and quantity of information you provide to the reader will depend on how much space your school newspaper affords to you. Ideally a good informative weekly horoscope would require your having at least a 100 word allowance (for each sign) from which to work. Anything less, in my opinion, will not be worth the readers time or yours.

I hope this helps and Good Luck to you.

Libra September 23 – October 23
While hard and fast rules are oftentimes overly simplistic and flawed, you cannot argue with the logic that whoever smelt it most likely also dealt it.

Scorpio October 24 – November 21
A seemingly average morning will quickly turn terrifying when you can’t remember getting into a pool of your own blood the night before.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 21
Be careful that your careless words do not break a certain person’s heart this week. Instead, break it with a well-placed ax blow.

Capricorn December 22 – January 19
By hook or by crook, you will crotchet yourself a matching scarf and hat this winter.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18
You will finally gain the respect of your peers this Thursday after hours spent begging for it on your hands and knees.

Pisces February 19 – March 20
Looking back now, it’s easy to see that hindsight is 20/20.

While writing horoscopes professionally requires education and college training…that is not the case for school newspaper horoscopes.
Learn the different astrological signs and base the horoscopes on the general traits of each sign.^^ Have fun.

It would probably be easier for you to take about 100 horoscopes from 100 different places and read them all and start developing your physic abilities by inter-twinning what you have read to the way you feel. Good Luck and never give up.
