What is a natal chart?
A natal chart, also known as a birth chart, is a snapshot of the sky at the moment you were born, as seen from your place of birth. It is drawn as a wheel. Around the outside are the twelve signs of the zodiac, and each planet is placed where it was on that day. Lines through the center divide the wheel into twelve houses. In astrology, every planet represents a part of who you are, its sign describes how it expresses itself, and its house shows the area of life where it comes into play. Reading a chart means bringing these together.
Numerology is a separate tradition that works from your birth date alone. Find your life path number.
