Quick Answer

In traditional Western astrology, a weekly horoscope reads the slower-moving transits over the week ahead rather than the day's mood. In the transit tradition Robert Hand describes in Planets in Transit (1976), astrologers read the arc of a week as reflecting where the faster planets travel relative to your sun sign. Demetra George in Ancient Astrology in Theory and Practice (2019) frames a longer-range horoscope as a chapter in an ongoing transit story, a pattern to work with, not a fixed prediction.
