What is the natal chart of you?
A natal chart, also known as a birth chart, is an astronomical image of the stars taken on the precise day, hour, and location of your birth. We determine each planet’s position, the zodiac sign and house it was in at the time of your birth using information from NASA.
How can I discover the number in my birth chart?
Take the numerical value of your date of birth, put the digits together per category (year, month, day), and keep adding the digits together until you get a single digit.
For instance: Let’s say that you were born on July 3, 1995, or 7/3/1995. The year will first be reduced to a single number by adding its digits. 1+9+9+5 = 24, and 2+4 = 6. Since the day and the month in this instance are both already single digits, we can now sum both values: 3 for the day, 6 for the year, and 7 for the month add up to 16. Lastly, combine those digits as necessary to yield a single digit: 1+6 = 7.
Using the birthdate of December 26, 1989, as another illustration. Thus, 1+9+8+9 = 27, and 2+7 = 9, and that is 12/26/1989. The month, 12, is reduced to 3 (1+2) and the day, 26, is reduced to 8 (2+6). So, 9+8+3 = 20. The life-path number for this individual is 2, as 2+0 equals 2.
So far, this has been fairly simple, but there is one difficulty, I’m afraid: You do not decrease numbers to one digit before the final reduction if one of your groups totals 11 or 22 during the calculating procedure. Because 11 and 22 are “master numbers,” according to numerology, with their own unique meanings, this is the case. Therefore, if you were born in November, for example, you were born with a master number. The formula for a person born on November 2, 1960 is as follows: 16 is equal to 1+9+6+0, which is reduced to 7 (1+6). As a result, 2+0 = 2, and 7+2+11 (which does not reduce!) = 20.

How can I quickly locate my birth chart?
Thanks to the Earth’s daily rotation, the planets and the sky are both constantly in motion. A freeze-frame is provided by your birth chart. It is an image of the sky as it appeared when and when you first entered the earth. For a precise chart reading, you must be aware of the precise time, date, and location of your birth.
For instance, the Moon switches signs every two to three days. Only your birth time would be able to determine what sign the Moon was in when you were born if you were born on a day when it changed signs.
Rising indicators change even more quickly. The sign that is currently ascending over the Eastern horizon is known as the rising sign (also known as the ascendant). This is the place in your birth chart where your body, vitality, and sense of self are most closely represented. This sign forms your first House of self and identity because it is so unique to you. The sign after that makes your 3rd House of communication, daily life, siblings and extended family, etc., and the sign after that becomes your 2nd House of possessions, resources, and livelihood. You won’t understand which signs belong to certain residences if you don’t know your rising sign.
Every 1-2 hours, rising signs change, and within a 24-hour period, the complete zodiac rolodex crosses the horizon. The precise degree ascending, or the degree of your ascendant, also advances every few minutes. Your rising sign is significant in astrology for this reason, which is also why the CHANI app places a lot of emphasis on it. It is wholly specific to you.
The other birth chart anchors are comparable in this regard. The precise time, day, and location of your birth determines the points of your MC (which represents your profession and public duties), IC (home, family, and roots), and DC (close relationships).
If you don’t know your birth time, there are other methods to use your chart, but we wanted to provide you some suggestions on how you may look for the most accurate astrological interpretation possible. It is beneficial to know and speak with your parents and caregivers because different hospitals, states, and nations have varied methods for recording births. That’s not an option for many people whose parents were adopted, passed away, or lost contact.
Age also has an impact. Older records may be more difficult to locate, though this isn’t always the case, and/or certain hospitals may have only begun keeping track of birth timings after a certain date.
Leave no stone unturned
Do your research if it needs to be done. Your birth time may have been recorded even if you cannot see it on your birth certificate at home. The short-form birth certificate, which is effectively a signed statement that the long-form certificate exists, is all that many people have. The most important details, such your birthdate, are included, although the time is infrequently mentioned. The documentation kept at the hospital is the long-form birth certificate. More information is frequently included, such as the parents’ names, birth dates, hospitals, and yes, the time of birth.
Call the birth records management division of your local government to obtain the long-form certificate. Depending on where you live, this may be referred to as the vital statistics ministry, department, or office. Depending on where and when you were born, it can be a state-wide, provincial, county, or parish-wide issue.
Ask someone to check the record to make sure the birth time is accurate before ordering the certificate. You won’t be the only one making this request because astrology is currently so well-liked, even considered normal.
You might also try contacting the birthplace hospital. They might be able to inform you who keeps those documents if they don’t.
Finding your long-form birth certificate is usually the wisest course of action, regardless of whether your parents or caretakers believe they know when you were born. Most individuals who were present when you were born were preoccupied with other activities at the time, so it’s more likely than not that their memories are inaccurate. Keep in mind that your rising sign can alter within a few minutes, so if at all feasible, choose an exact time rather than one that is rounded to the nearest hour.
Go digging
Examine ancient baby books, photo albums, attic boxes, scrapbooks, family bibles, etc. There’s a potential that your long-form certificate was misplaced, or that a meticulous parent, grandmother, or caregiver recorded the hour of your birth in their diary.
Ask around
Inquire with your parents, carers, or anybody who may have been there when you were born, such as a relative or close friend. As previously noted, finding a record with your precise birth time is ideal, but if you can zero in on the hour or general time of day, it can help you identify your Moon and limit the possibilities for your rising sign.
Rectify your chart
As a final resort, you can attempt to have an astrologer who specializes in this method correct your chart. Trial and error will always be a part of life. Although chart correction is not an exact science, it does work quite well for some people. While we do not provide recommendations for astrologers that perform this type of work, we do advise asking about in your networks (or even on Twitter?) to see if anyone you know has a relationship with a reputable astrologer.
What is the greatest website for natal charts?
In addition to providing birth charts of a professional caliber, Astrodienst is a fantastic online resource for astrologers of all levels. For the fundamental birth chart, search for Chart Drawing/Ascendant. Every time you access the Astrodienst site from a computer at home, your birth information is recorded and readily available. This makes it simple to return when you’re ready to examine other types of charts or contrast your chart with those of other people (known as synastry).
What is the master number for me?
Simply subtract the digits of your whole birth date until you reach a single digit number, except the digits 11 and 22, which are known as Master Numbers (more on this later). This figure represents your life path.
Let’s assume that you were born on November 11, 1992. You will shave off one digit from each part of this date to determine your Life Path Number:
1992 may be expressed as 1 + 9 + 9 + 2. This comes to 21. After that, 21 becomes 2 + 1 = 3.
The result is 7 (if it were a double digit, we would add those two digits together to reach a single digit). Next, we sum the reduced month, date, and year numbers (2 + 2 + 3). Your Life Path Number is therefore 7.
Only if you receive 11 or 22 would you not cut the final number. These are regarded as Master Numbers and are an enhanced version of their root numbers (2 and 4, respectively). When compared to tougher hurdles, Master Numbers indicate a higher chance of success.

How can one determine which astrological house they are in?
Okay. Houses. Have you ever heard the phrase “Mars is in your third house”? They’re talking about what area of the sky Mars was in when you were born. The house system splits the sky into 12 sectors, and based on the planets and constellations that were in each section at the time of your birth, it can shed light on particular aspects of your life. The time and place of your birth are required to identify your first house, which is defined by the zodiac constellation that was rising on the eastern horizon at the precise moment that you were born. From there, the remainder of your houses start counting up. These visuals for your chart can be found on websites similar to this one!
Here is what each of the houses may reveal about your character and way of life:
The First House is a symbol of identity.
2. The Second House is a symbol for money and business.
3. Our near environs and close platonic interactions are represented by the third house.
The Fourth House is associated with children and family.
The Fifth House is a symbol of creativity, self-expression, and entertainment.
The Sixth House stands for occupation and wellbeing.
7. The Seventh House is a symbol of marriage and committed relationships.
8. The Eighth House is a symbol of both change and sexuality.
9. Beliefs and faith are represented by the Ninth House.
10. Careers and responsibility are represented by the Tenth House.
The Eleventh House is symbolic of aspirations and individual objectives.
12. The Twelfth House is a symbol for karma, secrecy, and personal space.
Simply pay attention to your first, fourth, seventh, and tenth houses if your head is now spinning. Usually, they are given higher importance.
Houses are interesting since they can either show or confirm your strengths and faults. For instance, I wasn’t shocked to hear that Aries was in my second house. Aries is an impulsive, passionate, and ambitious sign, so it makes sense that I’m very career-focused and believe that all of my money must be earned since it’s in my second house, which rules money and finances. It also makes sense that I am prone to spending money carelessly (shout-out to my unnecessarybut also necessaryshoe purchase a week ago). Oops.
A brief comment regarding your rising sign Your rising sign, also referred to as “the ascendant,” is the zodiac constellation that occupies your first house. It is the most erratic and challenging to control. If you change your birth time even a few minutes, you can obtain different results. After your sun and moon signs, many astrologers claim that this placement is the third most significant one for you. Your ascendant, as previously mentioned, symbolizes your public persona. It frequently shows up in your appearance or really any choices you make that affect your public persona (such as hair color, piercings or overall style). It might also represent how you react to the world around you and how you view daily life.
Knowing my rising sign gave me the confidence to have a septum piercing, despite the opinions of my friends, because my Aquarius ascendant is characterized by uniqueness and frequently rebellious fashion choices.
What is the location of your destiny number?
To determine your destiny number, divide your whole name (first, middle, and last) by one and add the resulting number to get the root number.
Why is birth time necessary for a natal chart?
Not only will you be unable to perceive how you appear to others if your rising sign is inaccurate, but a significant portion of your chart will also be essentially erroneous (via Lawyerment). Your zodiac placements fall into the houses that correspond to your rising sign. If you were born at the incorrect time, your rising sign would be incorrect, which would result in your other signs’ houses, including your moon sign, being incorrect.
Don’t know the the time of your birth? You can ask the state where you were born for a copy of your long-form birth certificate, which will contain your precise time of birth if your parents don’t remember or didn’t record it in your baby book (Allure).
