Most people know what their sun sign is by their birth date. For example, my birthday is February 9th which makes my sun sign, Aquarius. However, there is more to your horoscope than your sun sign. In this article, I will be explaining what a Natal Birth Chart is, how to find your own, along with showing an example of a birth chart.
So, what is a Natal Birth Chart?
In short, a Natal Birth Chart is a snapshot of where all the planets were the minute you were born. To find this out, you must have the date, time, and place you were born. The different planets explain your personality. For instance the Moon Sign will demonstrate how you handle your emotions. We will go into more depth of the planets and what they represent in your chart in a later article.
Along with what Signs the different planets are in, you also have Houses. These Houses represent the different areas of your life. An example would be the 2nd house tells you how you relate to your personal finances and material possessions. I will touch more on this in a later article as well. For Now just know that these elements help explain why you are you.
Example of a Natal Birth Chart!
As you can see, there are blue and red lines connecting the different planets. These Aspects are a very important part of your Natal Birth Chart. They are showing how the planets speak to one another within your chart, which make a more defined trait. I will go over Aspects again in a later article.
This is a more simple chart to show you what Signs, the different planets are in, within a horoscope. This also shows what Degrees the planets are in as well. Degrees are also very important in your horoscope and help determine your Aspects. An example would be Donald Trump’s Sun is Conjunct (an aspect) his North Node. This has its own meaning.
Firstly, a conjunction is a 10 degree orb or Aspect. These are very powerful in a horoscope. Sun Conjunct North Node means a lot of different things but what really stuck out to me with Donald Trump is his need to stand in his authentic self no matter what others think of him. This is why he is very outspoken for what he believes in. Other people with this Aspect will show similar characteristics. Another famous person with this Aspect is Denzel Washington.
