A natal or birth chart reading is an astrological interpretation of the positions of the planets at the exact time and place of your birth. The chart is divided into twelve houses, each representing different aspects of life, and the planets are positioned within these houses in relation to the zodiac signs.
To interpret a birth chart, astrologers typically focus on several key components:
- Sun Sign – Your core self, identity, and overall character.
- Moon Sign – Your emotions, inner self, and how you react emotionally.
- Rising Sign (Ascendant) – How others perceive you and the way you approach life.
- Planetary Placements – The positions of planets like Mercury (communication), Venus (love and beauty), Mars (action and desire), Jupiter (growth and expansion), Saturn (structure and discipline), Uranus (innovation and change), Neptune (dreams and intuition), and Pluto (transformation).
- Aspects – The angles between planets that create various influences, such as conjunctions (planets in the same sign), squares (challenging relationships), trines (harmonious relationships), and oppositions (polarizing energies).
- Houses – The twelve houses represent different areas of life (e.g., career, relationships, family, etc.). Each planet in a house influences that aspect of your life.
