'''Horoscope''' is the popular Zodiac of the [[Unova]] region that is talked about on the [[Television|TV]] Show "Personality Assessment and Horoscope". A certain Pokémon represents a certain month, unlike the real World Zodiac, where one Star Sign lasts for roughly a Month's time but not dead on a month. Also, the Pokémon in the Zodiac are related to the Star Signs of the Zodiac, for example Sawsbuck and Bouffalant, which are similar to Capricorn and Taurus, respectively.

==The Zodiac==
Each of the Pokémon in the zodiac corresponds to a star sign of the real-world {{wp|zodiac}}; however, each Pokémon represents a specific month, unlike the real world {{wp|zodiac}}, in which one star sign lasts for roughly a month's time but does not correspond to one specific month in the {{wp|Gregorian calendar}}. Each Pokémon of the zodiac represents the month that encompasses most of their real counterpart's duration. For example, {{wp|Pisces (astrology)|Pisces}} represents February 19 to March 20, while {{p|Alomomola}} represents the entire month of March.
It should be noted that some of the Pokémon in the Zodiac are noticeably alike to the Signs of our Zodiac, however not necessarily in the correct places. It should also be noted that not all Pokémon are related to their Zodiac counterpart, instead being there to fill the gaps between similar Signs.
