What is A Birth Chart

Astrology is the study of knowing what arises in this world as a result of the movement of the planets. Natal astrology is then the application of astrology to understanding the individual lives of people based on the positions of the planets at the moment they were born.

Proto-natal astrology originates in the Babylonian astrological tradition with the emergence of the subdivisions of the zodiac like the Bounds and the Dodecatemoria that allowed the larger movement of planets to be particularized for individuals. It is then adopted in the Hellenistic, Persian, and Indic worlds as Horoscopic astrology is developed and transmitted throughout West and Central Asia. The Islamicate astrologers will then inherit, adopt, and expand on this framework creating a synthesizes method for analyzing and predicting the lives of individuals based on their horoscope.

The Birth Chart relies on a few core pieces of data: the date you were born, used to calculate the positions of the planets along the zodiac, the time you were born to determine where the planets were in the sky at the exact moment of birth, and the location of birth to determine how the celestial alignment would’ve been observed in that locality.
