What is a Birth Chart?
At first glance, a birth chart just looks like a big 12-slice pie chart. Those 12 individual sections are called “Houses.” Each House represents one of the 12 different zodiac signs, as well as a significant part of our life. For example, the zodiac sign Libra rules the 7th House of connections and long-term partnerships.
Visually a chart is a 360 degree wheel divided into 12 sections. Each section is named after the famous constellations or zodiac signs that we are all familiar with (i.e Aries, Leo, Gemini, …). Your planets are plotted onto the wheel to see which sign they fall into to. For example, to calculate your Sun sign we look at which zodiac constellation the Sun was sitting in at the time of your birth.
How to Read a Birth Chart?
A correct reading of a birth chart or horoscope is the key to knowing almost everything about an individual. While analyzing a chart and arriving at predictions is an elaborate process, chart reading can be stated very briefly, as under:
- Ascendant, marked as “As/Asc” in your birth chart denotes the first house, from where it is counted clockwise till the 12th house
- Each house is marked by a zodiac sign, starting from Aries till Pisces. These zodiac signs are fixed and never change their positions in a birth chart
- By counting clockwise around the chart, identify the houses where all the nine planets - Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, Sun and Moon are located in your birth chart
- Finally, find out which zodiac signs each of these 9 planets are placed in
