Natal Chart Basics

A birth chart, also known as a natal chart, is a graphical representation of the positions of celestial bodies at the exact time, date, and location of an individual's birth. It serves as a blueprint of the sky at the moment of your birth and provides insights into various aspects of your life and personality.

By analyzing these elements and their interconnections, astrologers (and you!) can provide detailed interpretations and insights into personality traits, potential strengths, challenges, life themes, relationships, career tendencies, and more. It is important to note that interpretations are always subjective. Take what resonates and leave the rest!

<aside> 📖 If you’re wondering where to start, I recommend first searching your “Big Three” by finding your Sun Sign, Rising Sign, and Moon Sign in your natal chart. From there, you can analyze these big themes further by finding which of the Zodiacs rule the houses those signs are in. Another great place to start is down toward the bottom in the Lunar section, you can see the current phase of the moon updated in real time and explore how that may or may not be impacting you.
