Your Birth Chart, also known as your natal chart, shows the exact positions of the planets in the sky at the moment of your birth. Why would you need to understand this? Analyzing this, though, might show what genuinely defines you as YOU. It captures the energy of the cosmos at the precise time you joined it.
It doesn't matter if you're new to Astrology and are thinking, "What is a Birth Chart?" or "What does my Birth Chart mean?" Keep reading the blog if you're interested in finding out more about yourself or simply want a more detailed analysis of your natal chart.
Are you already aware of your star sign?
Your star sign is a representation of the Sun's position at the time of your birth. Your Sun sign governs your core personality, but there is a lot more going on than that. Your character, goals, and aspirations are shaped in part by all the other worlds. For example, the moon symbolizes your feelings, Mercury denotes communication, Venus denotes beauty, love, and wealth, and Mars denotes your willpower and aggressiveness.
Some planets possess short orbits, which makes them travel quickly around the Sun and change signs quickly as they pass through the sky. As a result, their placements on the Birth Charts of the majority of individuals are more changeable & unique to them. The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars are together referred to as the "inner planets." Their physical closeness also makes them more likely to have a direct influence on our unique nature and experiences.
Then there are the 'outer planets' Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto slow drivers on the other side of the asteroid belt. These planets can change signs after up to 30 years. As a result, these outer planets frequently symbolize historical changes or generational issues.
Planets (the forces that act), signs (how the planets act), and houses (the regions of life they affect) are the three parts of a Birth Chart.
Understanding the Birth Chart
Your Birth Chart may seem like a circle filled with numbers and symbols all over it, or it may just be a report in list style. It will be a huge amount of data. Taking it gradually could be simpler. Focus on your Sun, moon, and rising signs since they have the largest influence on your personality.
Your main label is your star sign or also known as the Sun sign. It works like an engine that drives you through life. It reflects your wants, needs, and distinguishing characteristics. It is like an outline or sketch of your personality.
Your moon sign illuminates your psychological and emotional emotions and sentiments, as well as what lies under the surface. It also has something to do with your connection requirements and how you shield or soothe yourself.
Your rising sign, also known as an ascendant, is the fa ade you present to the world, the one that most people would immediately notice and compare you to.
Once you feel at ease with these, you may delve into other planets (Venus, Mercury, Mars, etc.) and begin to look at the houses they are situated in.
Houses in the Birth Chart
There are 12 'houses' in your Birth Chart, which are separated into parts. The variety and purposes of living life are all represented in these parts. Because of this, Astrology may forecast not just our personalities but also the course of our lives.
Everyday tasks and material concerns including money, residence, belongings, and communication are covered in Houses 1 through 6.
Houses from 7 to 12 are related to higher-level and spiritual drives including work, relationships, aspirations, and our own downfalls.
One of the first things to look at is which house is occupied by which planet. Jupiter (the planet of luck), for instance, in your 2nd house of possessions, would suggest ease in earning money.
A more detailed study is made possible by looking at what sign the planet was in at the time of your birth. An interpretation is made using a three-pronged technique (planet + sign + house). For example, if the moon, which rules feelings and emotions, was in Pisces situated in the 7th house when you were born, your emotional stability may be closely correlated to your love life. As this house is responsible for committed partnerships.
In addition to considering the balance of the 4 elements (fire, earth, air, and water signs) in your Birth Chart, Astrologers also take aspects of how far apart two planets are in the chart. They could be able to learn a lot more depending on the degrees the planets are situated in a house or how close or far they are to one another. Everything is dependent on the dynamics and whether or not there are several planets in the same sign because that refers to a problem.
Conclusion
A Birth Chart reading will reveal your particular cosmological arrangement.
It's crucial to keep in mind that the planets do not force you to act in any certain way. It's always your decision. The more you learn about Astrology, though, the more you'll see that there is frequently a synchronous relationship between life events and their placement in the sky with regard to your Birth Chart.
Astrologers use your birth details to make forecasts. When significant themes in your life narrative will be triggered, when they will happen, all can be seen by comparing the patterns in your Birth Chart with the current positions of the planets in the sky.
The amazing thing about Astrology is that it makes a related pattern or intelligence that governs our universe clear to us. As you progress, you begin to perceive an underlying purpose behind everything.
