Astrology Natal Chart 101

We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born.

-Carl Jung

Astrology is an ancient science studying the movements of the planets relative to each other and the greater universe and the energetic effects of those movements. Modern science is slowly beginning to understand what the ancients knew: everything within the universe is connected.

Your natal chart is a map of the sky at the time of your birth. It shows where the planets were in relation to each other and within the zodiac and where the zodiac signs were in the sky relative to the horizon. This is a blueprint of the energetic signature of the universe at the moment you came in to it. Depending upon how you look at it, you could say you are a reflection of that energy or the opposite, you were born at that exact moment so the energetic signature would match who you are.

Learning to read your natal chart opens a door to deeper understanding of yourself. It can help you recognize patterns in your life, weakness and strengths, and help you to understand how the current “astrological weather” is affecting you.

In this workshop, you will learn how to generate your natal chart online and the basics of reading the chart. This includes:

  • a short explanation of the energies represented by the planets, zodiac signs, and houses

  • an introduction into aspects

  • recognizing overarching themes within a chart

You will need to bring your birth information to the workshop including the date, time, and location of your birth. Without this information, you cannot calculate your natal chart! If you only have your birthdate and no other information, only the planets’ placements can be calculated.
