Methods of calculations have improved over the centuries, making astrological patterns more meaningful and obvious.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Most people are familiar with their <em>sun sign, <\/em>but there is so much more to your personal astrology than that!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beauty of astrology is that it can be as simple or as complicated as you like. Please take whatever resonates from this post and leave behind what doesn\u2019t fit in with your life right now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[mailerlite_form form_id=14]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natal_Chart\"><\/span>Natal Chart<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your natal chart (or birth chart) is a snapshot of the skies above the Earth the moment you were born. It depicts the location of the planets, the moons, the houses, and the asteroids in our solar system. All of which play an astrological role in your life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone\u2019s natal chart is completely unique. Even if you\u2019re a twin, your natal charts will probably vary slightly because of the several minutes that will pass between births. Especially if the births took place on the <em>cusp<\/em> of any planetary movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best place to get a free natal chart online is <a href=\"https:\/\/astro.cafeastrology.com\/\">Cafe Astrology<\/a>. Create an account to save your natal chart, then bookmark it so you can always refer back to it. This site provides loads of information and interpretations for your chart, so it\u2019s a fantastic place to start.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a screenshot of my natal chart that I got from Cafe Astrology to give you an idea of what natal charts look like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spirituallyinspired.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/sara-rae-natal-chart-pinterest.png\" alt=\"Astrology is the magical study of how the movement and the energy of the various celestial bodies in our solar system impact us spiritually, physically, and emotionally.

The outermost ring is divided into twelve equal sections, representing the zodiac itself.<strong> The central ring is where all the planets lie.<\/strong> Follow the legend on your natal chart to determine which symbol is for which planet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The innermost ring shows the twelve houses, illustrated by roman numerals. <\/strong>On the left side, you\u2019ll see the symbol AS, which stands for ascendant sign (aka your rising sign). Going counterclockwise, this is the first house, and the second house is right after, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also see a bunch of lines criss crossing all over the place\u2014these are the aspects or angles of each of the planets compared to each other. These angles add yet another layer of meaning to the planets in your natal chart.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Read_Natal_Chart\"><\/span>How to Read Natal Chart<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each planet, zodiac sign, and house carries meaning and symbolism. <strong>To read your natal chart, start with the zodiac signs each of your planets are in. Once you\u2019re comfortable with those, look at which house those planets fall in.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Then, marry all these meanings together to create an interpretation for a particular planet. <\/strong>This will provide more than enough information to illustrate your entire life. And perhaps even connect some dots that may have seemed random to you until now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll use my personal natal chart as an example, pictured above via Cafe Astrology. The box in the bottom right corner is the best place to start, as it shows each of the planets, as well as your ascendant sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll start with the planets, which represent different facets of our personality. The zodiac sign the planet is adds a bit of flavor to the planet.

Remember, we all have all twelve houses in our natal chart, even if there are no planets in one (or more!) of the houses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, if you have empty houses in your natal chart, don\u2019t even sweat it. That typically means you don\u2019t have a specific energetic focus in that particular area of life right now. Doesn\u2019t mean that area of life isn\u2019t important, it probably means you\u2019ve \u201cmastered\u201d it, more or less.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u2022 First House: Self and Personality<\/li><li>\u2022 Second House: Self Worth, Values, Abundance<\/li><li>\u2022 Third House: Communication and Childhood<\/li><li>\u2022 Fourth House: Roots, Home and Family Life<\/li><li>\u2022 Fifth House: Fun, Pleasure, Creativity, and Self-Expression<\/li><li>\u2022 Sixth House: Routines, Habits, Self Care, and Health<\/li><li>\u2022 Seventh House: Relationships, Love, Commitments, and Contracts<\/li><li>\u2022 Eighth House: Joint Ventures, Death and Transformation<\/li><li>\u2022 Ninth House: Beyond Ourselves, Travel, Education, and Personal Growth<\/li><li>\u2022 Tenth House: Career, Reputation, Material Things and Societal Rules<\/li><li>\u2022 Eleventh House: Friends, Social Life and Goals<\/li><li>\u2022 Twelfth House: Unconscious Mind, Existentialism, Spirituality and Emotional Triggers<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spirituallyinspired.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/astrology-for-beginners-pinterest-watermarked.png\" alt=\"Astrology is the magical study of how the movement and the energy of the various celestial bodies in our solar system impact us spiritually, physically, and emotionally.
