Natal Chart

Since this chart is a snapshot of the sky when a person is born, this chart is the most important for understanding the whole life of the person. It tells about the complete theme of life (such as health, wealth, career, relationship, marriage etc.), and from the natal chart, an Astrologer can interpret the potentials and challenges related to all important aspects of life and the timing of good as well as bad events in life. 

It is important to note that your natal chart is not words written on stone, rather a map of potentials and challenges. More appropriately, it is a guiding path or compass for your whole life, which is extremely useful in navigating life.

What is a Birth Chart or Natal Chart?

A Natal Chart (also known as a Birth Chart) is a snapshot of the celestial bodies in the sky at the time of the birth of any person. It tells you about the overall theme of the life and potential of the person. 

• Overall Theme – What will be the life of the person?  
• Potential – What are the person's capabilities and shortcomings? 

It is believed that your birth chart also reflects your past life karmas. In this blog, we will discuss multiple aspects of the Natal Chart or Birth Chart.

Key Components of Natal Chart

• House (Bhav): 12 houses of the natal chart – represent specific areas of your life. Amongst these houses, Lagna (Ascendant) or First (1st ) house is the most important. 
• Zodiac Sign (Rashi): 12 Signs (Rashis) of the zodiac – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. These influence how planets give results in your life.
• Planets (Grah): 9 Planets – Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. These planets control the flow of energy in your chart and thereby control your whole life. Well-placed planets in the chart give success and rise and life, whereas ill-placed planets in the chart will give challenges, failure, downfall, setback, obstacles, disease, losses, etc. in life.

12 Houses of Natal Chart and its significance

Each house of the chart represents a specific area of life. 12 Houses of Natal chart are fixed in the chart, therefore, its significance are same for everyone. Overview of each house’s domain is following:
