Your Natal Chart is basically a 360 picture of the cosmos at the time you were born which serves as a map of your personality and journey through life. No big deal...

Your chart divided up into 12 zodiac signs (each represents a unique set of characteristics) and 12 houses (“places” where energies reside thereby manifesting a particular kind of experience).

Each planet (represented by the symbols in the light blue circle) is situated somewhere on your unique map. Identifying the planet's locations will help you to better understand yourself, your strengths and weaknesses, sensitivities and opportunities.
