Natal Chart
A map of the sky at your moment of birth, read as a blueprint of personality and fate.
Origin
Cast from your exact birth date, time, and location, the natal chart plots the Sun, Moon, planets, and ascendant across twelve houses. Each placement is interpreted to describe an aspect of life โ love, work, family, communication. The chart is the foundation of personal Western astrology.
Modern usage
Apps like Co-Star and The Pattern made casting your chart a tap away. 'What does your chart say?' has become a shorthand way to ask why someone is the way they are.
