A natal chart or birth chart is made up of a Sun sign, Moon sign, and the eight planets.

Ancient astrologers believe that each moving planet was known to have a neat and straightforward relationship with a fixed zodiacal sign where the Sun and Moon ruled one sign each and the five known planets two signs each.

In ancient times, it was believed that the planets stand for the will of the gods and their direct influence upon human affairs. However, modern astrologers believe that the planets characterize the basic drives or impulses in the human mind which are denoted by different characters through the twelve signs of the zodiac, and in the different spheres of life through the twelve houses.

The Sun sign and Moon sign, often mistakenly referred to as planets, are in fact more accurately known as luminaries. They are the most important planets in an astrology chart. Compatibility between two people is shown by their polarities.

During ancient times, in accordance with the doctrine of astrology of sect, the Sun and Moon were regarded as the rulers of two groups of the other planets. The daytime or diurnal planets are ruled by the Sun while the nighttime or nocturnal planets are ruled by the Moon.

Birth Chart used in astrology, also known as natal chart or astrology chart, is a chart that graphically displays the positions of planets and the astrological houses at the time, date, and place of your birth and the influence they will bring on your life. Though a horoscope also claims to describe the same things, there is still a little difference between birth charts and horoscopes.

While a horoscope may present an individual with a broad outline description of the position of their planets and astrological houses; however, the birth chart creates an analysis of the various elements of an individual’s nature and forecasts their future with the help of scores of graphs, drawings and charts.

Both the horoscope and natal charts use planets to predict an individual’s nature. However, planets in astrology have different meanings from the modern astronomical meaning of a planet.

For ancient astrologers, the will of the gods and their direct influence upon human affairs is represented by the planets while modern astrologers believe that the planets signify the basic drives or impulses in the human mind. Different qualities are expressed by these drives and seen through the twelve signs of the zodiac, and in different areas of life through the twelve houses. Furthermore, the exact way the planets manifest themselves also depends on the aspects or angles that they form with each other in the sky as seen from Earth.

For many centuries, our ancestors have used the stars, the moon, the sun, and the planets for guidance. It has been said that in order to learn your future, all you have to do is look to the heavens. Astrology has been used to predetermine their future.

Astrologers believe that the Sun, Moon, and planets’ positions at the time of a person’s birth can directly influence a person’s character. These heavenly bodies’ positions are thought to have an effect on a person’s destiny, even though many Astrologers still believe that a person’s free will still plays a great role in any individual’s life.

Astrologers have been known to use birth charts to map a person’s destiny. Though, we should bear in mind that our birth chart, also known as astrology chart or natal chart, should not be exclusively used as a tool to determine our future but just to be used as guidance for our actions in life.

Our natal charts present many hints about life and also about love and romance. The astrology chart gives many telltale signs that points to the many instances of love that have knocked on your door. All you have to do is learn how to read or interpret your natal chart.

First, take to mind an ancient rule in astrology that states that the signs point to your inner character and attitude while the houses point to the environment and exterior circumstances. The signs are “fixed” while the houses “move” around.
So, if we know that the houses illustrate the environment or external circumstances, then it would not be hard to find the external events and situations that lead to love and romance.

We should find first the sign that indicates love and romance and look at the house position it is in.

We all know that the planet of “love” is Venus; however, the sign of love is Leo.

When two persons fall in love, people always claim that everything fell onto its place. People find reasons why they should be together. People tend to rely on the stars and take a leap of faith. People end up believing that everything is all but due to fate. People then would try to prove that everything started even from the moment we were born. Thus, natal chart was born.

Natal chart is achieved by knowing the time of birth, place of birth, and date of birth. From the data given, the natal chart will show the alignment of the stars on a person’s specific birthday. These charts will tell what kind of person you are. In the world of astrology, everything happens for a reason and that reason is partly explained by the birth charts.

There is no fast rule on love and relationship. There’s always failure, happiness, sadness, joy. All partners are not perfect in a relationship because if they are, then there is no reason for each person to grow in all aspects of his being. Thus, people always want to find the right and suitable person for them– a person whom they know they can grow old with.

When we were still young, we witnessed our forefathers telling us if we were born when the stars were aligned. This was because our forefathers only relied on the stars and planets in the different aspects of their lives. Thus, it is inevitable that the world of astrology was conceptualized and has been a part of our practices in dealing with our lives.

In the world of Astrology, certain people fervently studied the heavens to seek for truth and guidance. Thus, these people came up with horoscopes and other new concepts. Recent ideas are brought up and one of these is about Birth charts. Birth chart is a new concept lingering the minds of these astrologers and is being shared by the latter to people who are very much interested in this. This has become a trend for those believers who would look up to the sky and imagine the future that these heavenly things are trying to say.

Birth Charts, otherwise known as Natal Charts, Horoscope maps, and wheels are graphical presentations of the different positions of all the planets at the time you were born and in the place you were born.

Astrologers believe that these positions of the planets in the sky may affect nearly every aspect of a man’s life. When astrologers use the word “planets”, generally they are referring to Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The Sun, Moon, and planets are located on a circle known in as the ecliptic plane. Because the planets are located on this circle, we can refer to the distance between the 2 planets by the number of degrees that separate them. According to astrologers, a distance of 180 degrees between two planets causes the astrological influence to “mix together” and affect the person. Other distances that cause the same effect include 0, 60, 90, and 120 degrees. Each of these angles is called an aspect. Some astrologers use many other aspects as well.

Sometimes, we often find difficulty in recognizing these traits or character as being a part of us. That is why Ascendant or our rising sign plays an important part in our character birth chart.
