Our passage through this earthly plane must be marked by the experience of good moments and fulfill the purposes of life. A guide that facilitates this journey is the birth chart or map. We teach you through this article, the best way of how you can make a correct interpretation of a natal chart.
The Natal Chart
Long before I could make a correct interpretation of la natal chart, it is valuable that they know what is the natal chart?, what is it for? And how is it built? Without being clear about these aspects, it is useless to speak of an interpretation. So let's take some time to learn a little more about it.
Let's start by defining what is the natal chart? The natal chart is nothing more than a map or planisphere, where a representation of the sky is made with its different planets, the zodiac constellations and their respective astrological houses.
What is?
The natal chart is useful to be able to establish how the stars influence the daily life of people and the phenomena that occur on Earth. It also allows us to know how we were influenced at the time of our arrival on this earthly plane.
With the knowledge of the natal chart, it is easy to know, the personality, skills and abilities, characteristics that otherwise cannot be revealed. It gives you all the necessary tools, so that the qualities of that person are overvalued, you can also control her behavior in the face of different events.
It can be used as a guide in self-help treatments, in the selection of personnel for vacant positions, making the most favorable economic projections, among others.
natal chart design
Usually when a natal chart is designed, it has a circular shape and is divided into three sections:
- Signs of the zodiac: The zodiacal signs divide the circumference into 12 equal parts, through it you can know exactly the radius of each planet and the trajectory that each one of them performs, from the sign of Aries to Pisces.
- Houses: These form, like the signs, twelve sectors, but in this case each of them is different. But this disparity in each sector depends on the moment and the geographical location at the time of birth of that person. The first house begins with the ascendant and its reading is counterclockwise.
Each house transits for a whole day, that is, 24 hours the entire zodiac. This peculiar characteristic of the route is what makes the twelve different astrological houses unique.
- Celestial Points: The different planets and other celestial bodies are located in each sign of the zodiac and their respective astrological houses. That location is what allows people born under the different signs of the zodiac to have different influences on each other.
Acting
Now that you have done all the calculations and the chart is done, if you look at it carefully you can see that you recorded a pile of planets, as many other signs, houses and other trifles.
With all these data, they can write down in a notebook a significant number of qualities of the person to whom they are reading. This is how they could find that when the Sun is at the same time in a sign and an astrological house, this particularity softens that Sun.
Although it seems complicated, in reality it is not so much. That is why it is advisable to familiarize yourself beforehand with some terms and how to read it. But in this reading you will know a little more about what all this is about.
The interpretation of a natal chart is not simply sitting in front of it and reviewing everything in an astrology manual that mentions when a planet is in a certain sign. It goes beyond that, it is recognizing how that particular fact affects a person's life.
Mastering the subject of interpretation is not something that is learned in a day, this requires perseverance and dedication. In addition to feeling identified with what is done, it must be done with the heart and putting the best energy into it.
Let's not waste any more time, here are some steps that will help you to make a good reading of the letter, the recommendations are that you read very calmly, practice daily and start interpreting with family members, before doing it with strangers! Success! !
As mentioned, a series of steps are presented to guide them to obtain the best interpretation:
Meaning of the elements
First you have to give the correct reading to the four elements. The signs of the zodiac have their particular energy wave and that is what makes them different from each other. They may agree on certain things, but they can never be compared with each other.
As you already know, the zodiac is divided into groups that are:
- Fire: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
- Earth: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
- Air: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
- Water: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
This order in which the signs are located has its meaning and that is that everything in life begins in fire and ends in water. Water is responsible for dissolving everything that was created from fire.
The balance between these four elements tells you the way you lead your life, the relationships or belongings you value most intensely, and the view you have of everything around you. It is to see life from another perspective and let go of many experiences transmitted by generations.
This balance is the result of the score that each planet has and its location in the zodiac. The personal planets have a higher score than Neptune, Pluto or Uranus, which are planets that go beyond the personality.
It is also necessary to consider the score that the ascendant and the ruler of each sign have, in order to make an assessment with greater precision.
For example, below is a set of possible scenarios, where the meaning of each of the elements is established and which attitudes prevail.
- Predominance of Fire
When this is the case, the interpretation that should be given is that the person has a high degree of courage, faces adversity without fear, eager to get ahead, has qualities to be a leader, loves to motivate to achieve success, among others. .
- Earth element prevails
If this happens, people are quite practical, they like to feel safe, their common sense is maximized and when they set a goal, they fight until they achieve it.
- Air predominates
They recognize themselves as quite sociable people, love to maintain interpersonal relationships, are very talkative, great thinkers and like to have a good general culture.
- Highlight the Water element
They are very sensitive people, with a very imaginative mind, they usually tend to get lost in thoughts, which lead them to surreal scenarios. Their actions are quite difficult to predict, because very little is known about them.
As you may have noticed, each of the elements has an area of action. Thus, fire is related to the intuitive part, earth with the senses, air with ideas and water with feelings.
Each person has a little of the four elements, but one of them stands out that makes the difference in behavior. Therefore, each reality is lived differently and this maintains the balance of the elements, according to the interpretation of the natal chart.
What do the polarities represent?
It could be said that the polarity represents the gender of each sign of the lunar horoscope. This is, thanks to the fact that each sign has an alternation between feminine and masculine. As can also be the case, that at a certain moment you are introverted and go into an extroverted state.
As you will notice, the zodiac also maintains a logic, which allows the balance of each of its twelve quadrants. Thus, the gender of each sign is as follows:
feminine signs
- Taurus.
- Cancer.
- Virgo.
- scorpio
- Capricorn.
- Pisces.
masculine signs
- Aries.
- Gemini.
- Climb.
- Pound.
- Sagittarius.
- Aquarium.

If after making your interpretation of the natal chart, we observe that the polarity tends to present more masculine signs. So, that person is masculine in character and will behave aggressively, quite active and achieves goals without making many detours.
On the contrary, if the feminine signs prevail, the personality is inclined to the feminine, presenting passivity behaviors and enhancing the attractive part to achieve the objectives.
It is important that you are clear that the gender of birth has nothing to do with the astral polarity. It may be a woman and the card shows signs that she has masculine energies, while a man has feminine traits or energies.
Meaning of the Crosses
The energies of nature such as creating, preserving and disintegrating, in the code of astrology are known under the name of:
- Cardinal.
- Fixed.
- mutable.
And they represent the beginning, binding, closing and beginning of the cycle. As you will see, this is another way of classifying the signs and their repetition in the interpretation of the natal chart, it is read in that order: cardinal, fixed and mutable and the cycle is repeated from cardinal and so on.
The classification of the zodiacal signs, according to this type of nature, would be as in the following example:
- In the cardinal cross is the sign of Aries, to the fixed cross belongs the sign of Moon in Taurus, while Gemini can be found on the mutable cross, Cancer can be located on the cardinal cross and so on with the rest of the signs.
The balance in the different crosses gives you indications of the motivations that each of the people has, according to their sign. These motivations are:
- In the cardinal cross, the signs are located, which feel passion to achieve, reach, achieve, among others.
- Fixed cross are the signs that maintain and assure.
- The mutable cross, are the people whose signs like to maintain empathy with other people.
But when making the interpretation, they must be very careful to keep the balance of the crosses. For example, someone with a tendency to place her in a fixed cross, may be afraid of experiencing changes in her life and wants to keep things as they are.
While an inclination towards the cardinal cross, it is an indication that that person is not working so hard to achieve their goals and at any time desist from continuing to fight for them. And those with a mutable cross, if they don't feel loved, enter a state of suffering, which can end very badly.
How to read the hemispheres?
We have almost reached the end of this fascinating journey, now only the interpretation of the hemispheres in the natal chart remains. And it is that the card is also divided into hemispheres and in our case there are four, which are mentioned below:
If after having counted the score obtained between quadrants 1 to 4, they have a large number of celestial bodies, which indicates that that person cares only about himself or ignores the needs of others.
When the result is higher in the right hemisphere, which is the result of the values of quadrants 2 and 3, then they can infer that they are people, who put the needs of their partner and others before their own.
If the lower hemisphere, which is equal to everything in quadrant 1 and 2, presents a person who is extremely protective. On the contrary, more planets in quadrants 3 and 4, which is the same as saying the upper hemisphere, seek personal fulfillment, rather than being protective.
Quadrant reading
- Lower left: they are impulsive people and act firmly, in defense of their loved ones.
- Lower right: They tend to impose conditions in order to establish and maintain relationships.
- Upper right: they need to interrelate with their peers and know in depth the environment where they live.
- Upper left: it can indicate that spirituality and relationships beyond the personal are your greatest aspirations.
Astrological curiosities of the months and their history
Like everything in this world, it starts from something and it is the case of the history of the names of each one of the months of the year. Here is his story:
- January: It represents the figure of Janus, the god who had a double face and was the defender of all beginnings and ends. For the ancient Romans, going to him meant that they were about to start a business and needed it to be carried out satisfactorily.
