Understanding Your Natal Chart

Your natal chart, also known as a birth chart, is a snapshot of the sky at the exact moment you were born. It reveals the positions of the planets, sun, moon, and other celestial bodies in relation to the zodiac signs and houses. The natal chart is divided into 12 houses, each representing different areas of life such as relationships, career, home, and spirituality. The planets in your chart influence how you express yourself in these areas.
