In astrology, the Natal Chart (sometimes called birth chart) is a graph that shows the positions of the planets and astrological houses in the sky at the moment of birth.The Natal Chart is much more detailed and accurate than a horoscope. A popular horoscope considers only the position of the Sun, whereas the Natal Chart includes hundreds of pieces of data.
Mark Twain once said: "The difference between a good word and the right word is like the difference between fire and firefly." Similarly, the popular horoscope may hold some hints of truth, but the natal chart tells the real story of a natural personality.
Analysing the planetary positions and relationships in the natal chart affords a remarkably profound and revealing glimpse into the natural character, with its inherent strengths and weaknesses. Among other things, the natal chart will tell: A) what type of partner and relationship you seek and will be best matched with, B) what type of job or career your natural strengths and weaknesses are best suited for, and C) obstacles that need to be overcome in your life. Most importantly, your natal chart will help you to understand your desires, motivations, and why you are the way that you are For a natal chart to be accurate, it is important to know the exact positions of the stars at the exact moment of birth. Since the houses of the zodiac revolve one degree every four minutes, an accurate time of birth is necessary to determine the Ascendant sign and some planetary aspects.
