A person born on a particular day; also, a horoscope or astrological chart created for someone at birth.
From Greek genethlios, 'of or pertaining to birth' (from gignesthai, 'to be born'). Originally used by ancient astrologers to mean a birth chart, the term later referred to the person described by that chart.
Ancient astrologers called these 'genethliac charts'—essentially the original horoscopes—and the word itself literally meant the person born under those stars, showing how birth and destiny were tangled together in ancient thinking.
