Stars offer us unlimited insight through horoscopes. A star chart, also known as a natal chart, is a snapshot of the sky at the moment you were born. Essentially, the moment you take your first breath is when you align with the energies of the universe. This remains constant throughout your life. An astrological chart can give you clues to your key life lessons and help you find your path to your soul’s purpose, as well as reveal your personality traits. So, what is the personalized birth chart that we talk about so much and especially emphasize?
What is a Birth Chart?
The positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets in the sky at the time and geography of our birth create each person’s unique and special astrological birth chart, in other words, their star chart. So what is a natal chart? The positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets in the sky at the time and geography of our birth create each person’s unique and special astrological birth chart, in other words, their star chart. The beginning of everything is knowing oneself. In what period, under what conditions, and in what way we are born can determine our entire future. Each person’s birth chart (horoscope) is unique. Each map drawn according to the date, time, and place of birth displays a different appearance from the other. Astrological birth charts, drawn with mathematical and astronomical calculations, determine the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets, as well as their relationships with each other, in other words, the angles between them. In addition, the relationship of the Moon with the Sun at the time of birth, new moons and full moons before birth, and solar eclipses have an important place in the interpretation of astrological birth charts.
Apart from the day-month-year of birth, the place (city) and time of birth are the most important details for the birth chart. The photograph of this celestial moment, which consists of information that belongs only to us, tells a story that belongs only to us in the universe, like our fingerprints. That’s why our birth chart is unique to us. Birth time is very critical as there are details that change in minutes and seconds. The same sky combination as at the moment of our birth repeats approximately every 26,000 years. We are not the same there either. So the captain is not the same…
Our birth charts, which provide detailed references about our past lineage and ancestral karmas, the constantly recurring cycles in our lives, our personality, talents, and relationships, are the most important tools in meeting our selves.
How to Calculate Birth Chart?
What you need to create a birth chart is three pieces of information: Birthday, birth hour (minute), and place of birth. This information is already included on most birth certificates. If you do not have a birth certificate, you can request a copy from the hospital where you were born. It is very important to get this information as accurately as possible, as a few degrees of latitude or a few minutes of time difference can make a difference in your natal chart.
If you don’t know your exact birth time, a natal chart calculation is still possible, but some important information will be missing. In this case, you cannot accurately find your rising sign, which is very important for the horoscope, and which planets fall in which houses. Your rising sign is one of the main components in your chart. For birth charting, estimate your birth time as close as you can or enter it as noon.
What is the Use of a Birth Chart?
What can an astrologer see in your birth chart? An astrological chart (star chart) can reveal surprising information about your patterns and preferences. That’s why natal chart calculation is an excellent way to understand your blind spots and use this information for personal development. With natal chart interpretation, you can learn which talents you need to work on and which weaknesses you need to improve. Typically a natal chart looks for the following information:
- Rising sign and which planet is in the 12 astrological houses,
- Venus, Mars, Moon sign and house of love,
- Saturn sign for things you need to work harder for, Jupiter sign for places where you can be lucky,
- Important aspects occurring between any two planets
- If there are 3 or more planets in a horoscope, “stellium” creates a heavy concentration of a certain energy for the person,
- Balance of elements in the chart (planets in fire, earth, air, and water signs),
- Balance of qualities in the chart (planets in cardinal, mutable, and fixed signs),
- The pattern formed by the planets (there are 7 classical map shapes).
A knowledgeable and experienced astrologer can gather the elements and qualities in your chart and interpret your natal chart. If there is a lack of one trait or a dominance of another, he or she can offer advice on how you can practically bring more balance to your life.
What Does the Birth Chart Tell Us?
The birth chart gives a lot of information about a person’s life, potential, and opportunities, especially his stance and appearance. Predictions for the future can be made using astrological techniques based on these maps. These predictions can be a guide, especially in selecting and determining certain dates in advance. Astrological appearances and effects expected in certain periods and times can enable one to be prepared or planned. Determining goals, and strategies and drawing a road map can be much easier thanks to astrology charts. Birth charts created for children can help shape their future according to their strengths, weaknesses, and potentials. Relationship maps can be a guide in choosing the right spouse, partner, or friend, or they can guide you about the status or course of your current relations
Map Distribution
It can also be interpreted that light (Sun, Moon) and planets are concentrated in certain areas in the circular natal chart. Accordingly, if there is a concentration on the left side of the map, this may indicate that the person is subjective and interprets events in his way. Concentration on the right side may indicate that relationships are effective in a person’s life and that the person takes a position based on the other person rather than making decisions and taking action on his own. If there is a concentration at the bottom of the chart, this indicates that the person’s inner world is very rich and that he or she may be introverted. The concentration in the upper part of the map indicates a very extroverted and social appearance.
Elements
The elements of the zodiac signs where light and planets are located form the elemental balance of the map. Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are signs of the fire element, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are signs of the earth element, Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are signs of the air element, and Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are signs of the water element. The elements of light and planets in the signs are collected by giving a certain coefficient. 3 points are given to the relevant elements of the signs where the Sun, Moon, and Ascendant are located, 2 points are given to the relevant elements of the signs where Mercury, Venus, and Mars are located, and 1 point is given to the relevant elements of the signs where Saturn and Jupiter are located. Accordingly, the map is calculated. Having no or too few elements in a map can cause problems. Adding that element, both as a person and as an environment, can bring balance to one’s life. If there is no earth element in the map, it may be good to live close to the earth, if there is no air, it may be good for outdoor activities, if there is no water, swimming or bathing, if there is no fire, it may be good to be in warm places. One may naturally be attracted to the sign of the missing element. For example, if there is no water element in the chart, he/ she adds the water signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces into his/her life, and this is very good in terms of maintaining balance. People with air weight in their charts have high intelligence and intellectual capacity, those with water weight have emotional and empathy power, those with earth weight have high groundedness and solidity, and those with fire have high energy.
Qualifications
The qualities of the zodiac signs are also evaluated in the birth chart. Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn are the leading signs, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius are the fixed signs, and Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces are the mutable signs. Therefore, if a person’s zodiac sign, ascendant, and Moon sign are leading, this person may not leave the floor to anyone. If it is of a fixed nature, it may be quite difficult to move and change location and position. If it is variable, its adaptability and adaptability may be quite high.
Zodiac – Zodiac Zone
The zodiac, in other words, the zodiac belt, consists of 12 zodiac signs, and a birth chart is divided into 12 areas, astrologically speaking, the house, starting from the ascending sign. Therefore, every house has a horoscope. In summary, the 1st House is the rising sign, appearance, and environmental conditions, the 2nd House is financial matters, the 3rd House is the immediate environment, sibling and neighbor relations, and primary education, the 4th House is family matters, the 5th House is love and passions, the 6th House is health. and daily routine, 7th House relationships, 8th House common material things and shares, 9th House worldview, philosophy, and belief issues, 10th House career and goals, 11th House social environment and vision, 12th House spiritual and spiritual aspects. tells. The position and angles of the planet, which is the ruler of each house sign, have a special importance in this explanation.
For example, if the 2nd House is Virgo, the position, situation, and angles of Mercury, the ruler of this sign, are interpreted. In addition, the planets falling in these houses are interpreted according to their positions, situations, and angles. How the Sun, Moon, and planets are distributed among the 12 zodiac signs, the qualities and elements of the zodiac signs, and the balance of these qualities and elements are interpreted in detail. While the Sun, Moon, and personal planets Mercury, Venus, and Mars give information about more private and individual situations, Jupiter and Saturn, known as social planets, offer predictions about social and business life. Generation planets Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto touch on more general, universal, and inclusive issues.
