What is a natal chart?
A natal chart is a map of exactly where the sun, moon, and planets were in the sky at the moment and place you were born. It’s a far more precise picture than a sun sign alone — astrology built from your actual birth data, not a generic monthly forecast.
How to read your Ascendant
Your Ascendant (or "Rising sign") is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at your exact birth time. It shapes your outward personality and first impressions — which is why it needs a precise birth time to calculate.
Sun, Moon & Rising
Your Sun sign is your core identity, your Moon sign governs emotions and instincts, and your Rising sign is how others perceive you. Together, these three form the backbone of any chart reading.
What are aspects?
Aspects are the angles planets form relative to each other — conjunctions, trines, squares, and oppositions. They describe how different parts of your personality interact, creating natural harmony or tension.
