How To Read Your Natal Chart

Once we see and begin to cooperate with the planetary influences within ourselves, we can begin to transform the areas we need to work with. There are many of our unconscious behaviors that are determined by these influences, and are often the underlying basis for addictions, bad behaviors, failed relationships and so on.



You can have a professional astrologer prepare a natal chart for you. While reading your natal chart check for the different houses and the placement of the planets the Sun and Moon should be looked at first. The placement of the sun and the moon by sign and the aspects by the outer planets as to what your default signatures may be.



Next check out the Ascendant and it is the ruler. Where the ruler is and what are the aspects of it? If you find the Ascendant or it’s ruler in a difficult aspect to any of the traditional outer planets, this will be an indicator of where you need to begin your personal transformation.



Saturn can be looked at next. There are lessons to be learned wherever Saturn is by sign and aspect. Generally, whatever causes the most conflict or pain inside you will point to an aspect of your personality where there is the greatest need for the cooperation with Saturn. The Moon’s south node traditionally points toward the past and Karmic habits that have taken a foothold. We have an innate tendency to follow this path because it is the easiest and it feels safe because it is what we have always done. Usually for every Karmic pattern you discover there will be two or three other indicators, either aspects or planetary placement by sign that will reinforce that pattern.

They will tell you the same information, but in a little different way. It will expand or refine the things you have already learned about yourself.



Try to break down these factors into two or three basic patterns. This makes it easier to notice what faults can be overcome and what spiritual qualities are in the process of being infused into the salt of your personality. Make a list of these "Astrological Faults" in your personality and the steps you can take to overcome these influences and start you on the path to personal transformation.



As stated in the previously the Natal chart is an integral tool in the path of transformation and enlightenment. Most people go through life oblivious to the whys of their personality and blind to the planetary influences in their lives. Getting your Natal Chart done by a professional astrologer can open your eyes and mind to faults in your life that can be identified and fixed. This is made possible by the simple fact that you become aware of these faults, by bringing them to light, you can begin the journey of self-transformation, and self-enlightenment that all humans on the planet were meant to experience. Beginning, with the exact time of your birth you will open up a new and exciting world to the planets and how they truly affect us in the macrocosm of our Universe.
