Definition
- Noun:
- Horoscope: A chart or diagram representing the positions of the sun, moon, planets, and astrological aspects at the time of a person's birth, used to predict or analyze their character and life events. In Vietnamese culture, "số tử vi" specifically refers to a detailed, personalized astrological chart and its interpretation, often based on traditional Sino-Vietnamese astrology.
Usage Examples
- Noun:
- Ông ấy rất tin vào số tử vi của mình. (He strongly believes in his horoscope.)

Advanced Usage
- The term "số tử vi" implies a more complex and fate-oriented system than the general Western sun-sign horoscope. It often involves calculating a person's "bát tự" (eight characters/four pillars) – the year, month, day, and hour of birth – to create the chart.
