Editing Horoscope (section)

==Etymology<!--'Horoscopy' redirects here-->==
The [[Latin]] word ''horoscopus'', ultimately from [[Greek language|Greek]] {{lang|grc|ὡρόσκοπος}} "nativity, horoscope", "observer of the hour [of birth]", from {{lang|grc|ὥρα}} "time, hour" and {{lang|grc|σκόπος}} "observer, watcher". In [[Middle English]] texts from the 11th century, the word appears in the Latin form and is [[anglicisation|anglicized]] to horoscope in [[Early Modern English]]. The noun '''horoscopy'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--> for "casting of horoscopes" has been in use since the 17th century ([[OED]]). In Greek, {{lang|grc|ὡρόσκοπος}} in the sense of "[[ascendant]]" – not only of the time of someone's birth, but more generally of any significant event – and {{lang|grc|ὡροσκοπία}} "observation of the ascendant" has been in use since [[Ptolemy]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Ptolemy |first=Claudius |author-link=Ptolemy |title=[[Tetrabiblos]] |id=33, 75 |orig-year=c. 90–168}}</ref>
