Horoskops

Horoskops is a term that appears primarily as a plural form of horoskop in some languages and in fictional or speculative contexts as a proper name. In general astrology, a horoskop (or horoscope) is a forecast or reading derived from the positions of celestial bodies at a given time. The plural Horoskops is sometimes used to refer to multiple readings, charts, or entries within a single collection.

Origins and usage: The word horoskop comes from Greek horoskopos, meaning "hour watcher" or "observer of time," and entered Latin and European languages through early astrology texts. In English-language fiction and game media, Horoskops is occasionally used as a title for a library, archive, or device containing prophecies or prognostications, or as the name of a guild of seers.

In practice: Depending on the source, Horoskops may denote (a) a compiled volume of forecasts, (b) a set of in-universe charts used to predict outcomes, or (c) a magical or technological artifact that reveals futures when activated. The portrayal tends to emphasize the relationship between time, celestial cycles, and human events, often with a focus on fate, choice, and risk.
