Birth chart
A birth chart is a map of the sky at the moment of your birth, showing the positions of all planets in zodiac signs and houses.
The birth chart (natal chart) is the most in-depth tool in astrology. It does not show just one sign — it maps all ten planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto), twelve houses (life areas), and the aspects (angles) between them.
Building a birth chart requires three data points: exact birth date, exact birth time (to the minute), and birth place (city and country). Without the exact time, you cannot determine the Ascendant or houses — a central part of the chart.
