A
Natal Chart shows where the Sun, Moon and planets were at the time of your
birth. The planets and Zodiac signs are shown using symbols with the
position of each planet measured by its degree location within the sign.
These charts require some knowledge of astrology in order to discern a
Generally,
the Sun, Moon and
Ascendant determine the
foundation of personality.
The Sun will represent the core personality, the Moon will affect
the
emotional nature, and the Ascendant, which is the Sign that was on the eastern
horizon at the time of birth, defines the outward appearance and how the person
interacts with the world.
If
a person seems to be “out of
character” with his or her sign it could be
caused by heavy planetary influences elsewhere on their chart.
For
example, a stellium, which consists of three or more planets
clustered together in another sign, can create a significant influence that can
shift their personality more toward that sign.
Of course the most important element in a Natal Chart is generally
the Sun.
Almost everyone knows what sign they were born under, though cusp dates
(when one sign ends and another begins) may differ, particularly in
global horoscopes, such as those found in magazines or the
newspaper.
For example, someone born on July 22, 2004 at 6:37am would be a Cancer
with a Cancer Ascendant, but if they had a twin born a mere three
minutes later at 6:40am they would be a Leo with a Leo Ascendant.
I’ve seen global horoscopes list both July 22 and July 23 as the cutoff
date between Cancer and Leo, so if you were born on a cusp, your
actual time of birth is necessary to know your Sun Sign for certain. While the Sun has a major influence on our chart, the planets likewise contribute significantly, each adding their own particularly energy to the House where they reside, their vibes blending to a greater or lesser degree with the sign in which they're located as well. Also of importance in a Natal Chart is the placement of the major asteroids, i.e. Chiron, Ceres, Vesta, Pallas Athena, and Juno.
The Natal Chart is also the basis for much of predictive
astrology as well.
As the planets move through their orbits they form
Aspects
that can indicate influences in force on a daily and sometimes longer basis.
These movements are called
Transits and are the
basis of Horoscopes. While your Natal Chart remains in force for your entire lifetime, a technique known as the Secondary Progressed Chart reflects how you evolve as a person with the passing of time. Solar Return Charts provide a glimpse of what to expect in the year immediately following your birthday. *** |
