Los Horóscopos de Durango were a regional Mexican band. In their first years, they were a grupero band, but they eventually changed to the duranguense style when the genre was becoming mainstream. They eventually switched to banda. In their last years, their live performances were a mixture of the latter two styles.

One of the band’s signature songs, "Antes Muertas que Sencillas", was a cover of Spanish singer María Isabel. She used it as her entry into the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2004. María Isabel won the contest. She later used it on her first album, named No me Toques las Palmas que me Conozco ("Don't Clap Because I Know Myself", suggesting that once she hears clapping she can't help but to sing and dance).

In November 2021, the Terrazas sisters announced on their social media pages that Los Horóscopos de Durango had broken up on good terms. Vicky was retiring to dedicate herself to raising her recently born son, while Marisol would continue her career as a solo artist. Vicky’s retirement was short-lived because, in March of 2022, she also began her solo career.
