Introduction
The natal chart maps the sky at your moment of birth, revealing your psychological and spiritual blueprint.
Understanding the Natal Chart
A natal chart is a circular map showing the positions of planets, the ecliptic, and house cusps at your birth time.
The Zodiac Signs
The twelve zodiac signs represent fundamental archetypal energies that color every planet they inhabit.
The Planets
Each planet represents a different sphere of life — from identity (Sun) to communication (Mercury) to intuition (Neptune).
The Houses
The twelve houses represent the areas of life where planetary energies manifest — from self (1st) to spirituality (12th).
Aspects
Aspects are angular relationships between planets, showing how different energies interact within your chart.
Reading Your Chart
Start with your Sun, Moon, and Ascendant, then expand to planets in signs and houses.
Interpretation Tips
Look for patterns, dominants, and tensions. Synthesis is the key to meaningful interpretation.
