Astronomy for Astrologers
The Natal Chart
At this point, you should now be familiar with your natal
chart, whether the geocentric one or the heliocentric
one does not matter. The natal chart is fixed in time—
freeze-framed—a snapshot of the solar system at your
birth. In the diagram above, we see my own helio natal
chart in the center. Around it, on the outer band, are the
planets right now, as of today, April 7th, 2006. The
familiar band of the zodiac is shown on the outside, so
that you will have some reference point.
We can see my natal planets (chart center) and the
transiting planets (outer band), as they are placed
against the zodiac, for April 7th, 2006
