Natal card and its role in astrology

If you have taken an interest in astrology seriously, you could not help but notice that the forecasts published in the press sometimes do not coincide with the events of your life. The fact is that they are made up only by the position of the moon. This makes it possible to understand how favorable this or that day is, for example, for going to the hairdresser or planting plants. But little will tell about really important, fateful events.

To understand the trends in your destiny and to determine your natural talents helps the so-called "natal chart." It is individual for each person, although at times there are very similar. To make a personal horoscope, you need to determine the place and time of birth of a person as precisely as possible. With information, you can contact an astrologer, or you can make a map yourself.

To predict fate or find the predisposition of a person to certain activities and events in life will help only an accurate natal chart. It is not always possible to compose it, since a mistake even in 5 minutes sometimes strongly affects the compatibility of planets (especially if some important events, like eclipses, take place nearby).

To clarify the time of birth, resort to rectification - finding time for a number of events in your life. You will have to answer a series of questions about important events (wedding, birth of children, death of relatives, etc.) and remember their dates, usually with an accuracy of up to a month. Correctly rectified natal chart may not accurately reflect the real birth hour, but should give the opposite interpretation: to return the correct time of important events in your life.

Interpretation and the definition of certain things, unfortunately, little available to the novice. For this, astrologers and take their fees. Your own natal chart will help you determine if the amateur is not in front of you, since in some cases the maps of the different astrologers do not match the positions of the planets. This should not be easy.

And what can you do if you already have a natal chart in your hands? First of all, it finds the interactions of planets - the so-called aspects. They can be major and minor. The main ones are compound, synastry, sextile, square, trigon, opposition. There are converging and divergent aspects when the planets approach each other or are removed. Then read the signs, in which the planets were at the time of birth, and astrological houses.

Predict the events of the near future or the compatibility of the character and destiny of two people is helped by a synastry or the imposition of one card on another. The interpretation of synastries is somewhat different than for a static map. But there is not necessarily a very accurate natal chart, compatibility is calculated mainly for the most significant in the horoscope planets, and they move slowly enough.

As the astrologers say, at one point a son of a king, a puppy of a dog, a seed of cereals may be born. And they all have different destinies and one horoscope. Therefore, do not rely only on astrology. We decide our own destiny, and in the birth chart we can only see what we have to work on more.
