Birth Chart Basics

A great place to start when learning about astrology is to look at your birth chart. Your birth chart (aka Natal Chart) tells you where certain planets, constellations, and other celestial bodies are at the time and place you were born. For most people, they have no idea if they were born on a Monday or Tuesday so a birth chart can be difficult, but if you can figure out what city you were born in and the exact time you born, you’re birth chart is on the way to being created. However, there are so many components to a birth chart that if you don’t know what you’re looking for it will get confusing. Luckily, there are so many resources to help decipher a person’s birth chart so learning about astrology can be done by a beginner.
