 The topic of our today's article is how astrologers read a natal chart. And this is an essential part of astrology because the correct decoding can help overcome crises in life, in the pursuit of success and finding your life path. So, let's go to reveal all the secrets to you😜

By the way, on this website there is a service for free calculation of your natal chart online, it does not require you to have extensive knowledge of astrology. To get it, you will need to do some simple steps:

1. Enter your date and time of birth. If there are usually no difficulties with the date of birth, the time is not always possible to establish precisely. In case it is not known, choose 12:00 pm. Even if you were born at 12:00 pm, we recommend choosing 12:01 when drawing up an individual cosmogram.
2. Specify your place of birth. If your city is not on the list or you were born outside the settlement - choose the nearest city.
3. Just in case, check the time zone. Usually, it is set automatically, but system errors cannot be ruled out.
4. Click on the "Calculate" button and get your unique chart with interpretation.

Remember that interpreting and understanding your natal chart on your own is quite difficult, especially for beginners. First, you need to realize the following:

• It is not enough just to read the interpretation, take 20-30 minutes to understand.
• Changing the time of birth can radically change the meaning of the entire interpretation.
• Each element has its role and meaning, which will have to be dealt with.

The sequence of interpretation:

1. Planets. They have the main influence on the fate and life of a person. At the same time, each of the planets is unique, it is responsible for a certain set of characteristics inherent in a person and for the "roles" he performs. There is maternal instinct, careerism, and punchy character. Some "roles" a person plays every day, and some he tries on once or twice in his life.
2. Zodiac signs. The next part of the natal chart is the signs of the zodiac. This is a kind of way of expressing the direction of the planets. Depending on the sign in which a particular cosmic body is located, the peculiarities of the "roles" that are played also change. Just as a career woman is uncomfortable in the role of a keeper of the hearth, so is a born researcher in monotonous or painstaking work. 
3. Aspects. The next element of the chart is the aspects, or in simple terms, the interaction of the planets with each other. It is a unique combination of traits and characteristics. So one planet can be quiet, and non-conflict, while the other is violent and fierce. Then in a person in certain proportions, there are features of a peaceful homebody and an expressive fighter for justice. The specific combination is always individual and unique. 
4. Houses. The last component of the natal chart is the houses. This is the setting in which the development of events takes place. These are the scenery for the game of the main characters - planets or their manifestations, zodiac signs. They cannot independently influence a person's character or life, but actively contribute or, conversely, prevent the manifestation of the characteristic features of constellations or celestial bodies. 

Basic personality characteristics:

As previously mentioned, an individual horoscope makes it possible to determine the main characteristics of a person. Some are given to a person at birth, and others are obtained in the process of development, growing up, and socialization.

So the inherent qualities are:

• Temperament. It is determined based on the ratio of elements in the natal chart. Thus, most water signs indicate a calmer temperament, while the fire elements add sparkle to a person.
• Behavior model. The ratio of crosses in the horoscope is analyzed.
• Prevailing character traits. Here the dominant Zodiac sign plays the main role. There are cases when two dominant signs are intertwined in the natal chart. It is also necessary to evaluate the position of the Sun in men and the Moon in women, as their value leaves a certain imprint on the general content of the description.

The examination of the natal chart reveals:

• The appropriate sphere for the realization of talents. It also notes what type of social fulfillment suits the person best: teamwork or the desire for independence.
• The form of expression of the person's destiny. Characterizes the stimuli and needs of the individual, the ability to seek and find opportunities for self-realization.
• The most important areas of life. In fact, what is of predominant importance for a person, what drives his or her aspirations and plans?

Detailed Personality Characteristics
