What is a Natal Chart?
A Natal Chart, or horoscope, is simply a diagram of the heavens as it appears from the earth at the moment of your birth at the place where you were born. Physically, the horoscope consists of a circular diagram, or flat wheel, which is divided into twelve sections, or areas of life, referred to as houses. Each house, or area of life, is influenced by the zodiacal sign (or signs) that was appearing in that house at the moment of birth. The Sun, Moon and Planets are distributed around the wheel, according to their position at birth, and are indicated on the flat wheel by glyphs. This diagram or map is used to determine the characteristics of the person and to ascertain what is likely to happen under certain astrological conditions. The exact time of birth and exact birthplace is absolutely vital to erecting an accurate horoscope. Planetary positions change quickly, and an error of only four minutes may result in a chart that does not match the person. This can cause the client to doubt
