What Does a Natal Chart Analysis Include?

A natal chart analysis is the comprehensive study of the celestial sphere at the exact instant and coordinates of your birth. Through this analysis, we interpret the luminaries (Sun and Moon), personal planets, social planets, transpersonal bodies, the Ascendant (Rising Sign), the Midheaven (MC), the 12 astrological houses, and the geometric aspect grid.

First, the elemental balance (Fire, Earth, Air, Water) and quadruplicities (Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable) are evaluated. Scoring planets across the elements provides an immediate overview of an individual's constitutional temperament and natural behavioral rhythms.

Second, the condition of the luminaries—the Sun and the Moon—along with the Ascendant, its ruling planet, and their respective aspects are analyzed with utmost care. Next, personal planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars), social planets (Jupiter, Saturn), and transpersonal planets (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) are examined.

Furthermore, the Lunar Nodes (Karmic True Node), Part of Fortune, Vertex, major asteroids (Chiron, Ceres, Pallas, Juno, Vesta), and prominent fixed stars are integrated into a holistic synthesis of your unique psychological archetypes and life purpose.

Which Charts & Techniques Do We Examine in Consultations?

In professional consultation work, analyzing only the static natal chart is never sufficient. To accurately understand positive and challenging periods in a person's life and forecast future timing, we synthesize a multi-layered suite of charts.

Our integrated methodology blends Classical, Modern Western, Psychological, and Evolutionary astrology systems. When needed, we incorporate:

Secondary Progressions (1 day = 1 year): Internal emotional and character evolution.
Solar Return Charts: Annual birthday forecasts and emerging yearly themes.
Solar Arc Directions: Dynamic event timing by advancing all points at the Sun's rate.
Annual Profections: Ancient time-lord technique highlighting dominant life houses.
Real-Time Transits: Daily planetary movements that trigger natal potentials.
Draconic & Harmonic Charts: Soul-level destiny and subtle harmonic resonances.

Frequently Asked Questions

A natal chart (also known as a birth chart) is an astronomical snapshot of the sky at the exact moment and location of your birth, mapping the precise positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, and astrological houses.

To calculate an accurate natal chart, you need your exact date of birth, exact time of birth (hour and minute), and place of birth (city and country).

The Ascendant (Rising Sign) changes signs approximately every two hours, and the Moon moves about 1 degree every two hours. Exact birth time determines the precise house cusps and Ascendant degree.
