Natal Astrology
Natal Astrology provides an in-depth
picture of the individual as a unique person, based on the time, date,
and place of birth.
There are over a dozen factors in a birth chart that,
combined, create a unique picture of the individual. These include
the luminaries and planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune and Pluto); the signs the luminaries and planets are in;
the house each body falls in; the aspects the bodies make to each other;
and other factors (including the Moon Nodes, Ascendant, Midheaven, and
asteroids).
Below is a sample natal (or birth) chart.
Each glyph, or symbol, in this chart represents
something. The triangular box in the bottom left corner is the aspect
grid, which shows what aspects exist between what planets. The small
boxes on the bottom right represent the elements and modalities of the
planets.
