Natal Chart Explained: A Beginner's Guide to Your Birth Chart

A natal chart (birth chart) is a map of the sky at your exact moment of birth — the positions of the Sun, Moon and planets in the zodiac, plus the houses and aspects between them.

The Three Building Blocks

• Planets — what energies are active (Sun = identity, Moon = emotions, Mercury = mind).
• Signs — how each planet expresses itself.
• Houses — which life area it shows up in (career, love, home, etc.).

How to Read It

Start with your Sun, Moon and Rising signs — the 'big three'. Then look at which houses your planets fall in.

FAQ

Do I need an exact birth time? For the Rising sign and houses, yes. Without it you can still see the planets and signs, but the houses will be approximate.
