Western Astrology

Natal charts, transits, solar returns, and synastry.

Understand your natal chart

A Western natal chart maps the planets at your birth into signs, houses and aspects. Signs describe how a placement is expressed, houses connect it to an area of life, and aspects describe relationships between planets. Use your birth date, time and location for a chart; an uncertain time can change the rising sign and house placements. Compare natal patterns with transits, solar returns and relationship charts in the tools below.
