horoscope
An interpretation of a person's future or personality based on astrology, often published in newspapers and magazines.

birth chart
The graphic representation of the constellations of planets and stars at a specific point in time, usually birth, which serves as the basis for astrological interpretations.

You can recognize the general meaning (m01) from verbs like 'lesen' (to read) or contexts like 'Zeitung' (newspaper). You can recognize the technical meaning (m02) from verbs like 'erstellen' (to create) or 'deuten' (to interpret) and from the context of astrology as a discipline.
Glaubst du an das, was in deinem Horoskop steht?
Do you believe what your horoscope says?
In its everyday meaning, 'Horoskop' (horoscope) is often used with verbs like 'lesen' (to read), 'glauben an' (to believe in), or the question 'Was steht im Horoskop?' (What does the horoscope say?).
Mein Horoskop sagt, ich werde heute eine interessante Person treffen.
My horoscope says I will meet an interesting person today.
Horoscopes in newspapers and magazines are almost always organized according to the twelve zodiac signs. People therefore often speak of the 'Horoskop für den Stier' (horoscope for Taurus) or 'für die Waage' (for Libra).
Kannst du mir mal das Horoskop für den Skorpion vorlesen?
Can you read me the horoscope for Scorpio?
When the astrological chart is meant, typical verbs are 'erstellen' (to create), 'berechnen' (to calculate), 'deuten' (to interpret), or 'analysieren' (to analyze).
Ein Astrologe kann ein persönliches Horoskop erstellen und deuten.
An astrologer can create and interpret a personal birth chart.
zodiac sign
The Sternzeichen names one of the twelve signs of the zodiac assigned to a person based on their birth. A Horoskop, on the other hand, is an astrological interpretation of their personality or future. Sternzeichen is the right word when asking about the sign; Horoskop is used for a prediction or interpretation.
Mein Horoskop sagt für den August eine wichtige Begegnung voraus.
My horoscope predicts an important encounter in August.
Mein Sternzeichen ist Löwe, weil ich im August geboren wurde.
My zodiac sign is Leo because I was born in August.
