The Natal Chart
Defining the Universal Blueprint
Astrological science asserts that we living beings are connected to the universal whole, which is constantly changing and pulsating with life through magnificent celestial forces. Being such intimate associates of the celestial play, we are conferred a special gift known as the natal chart or horoscope, which displays a visual structure of our life defined by the planetary configurations present at the time of our birth. The factors - planets, zodiacal signs, planetary aspects and houses etc. are conscientiously examined by astrologers, to ascertain the physical health and psychological conditions of a person, along with the type (and quality) of events and relationships in life they are 'destined' to experience.
Depending upon the astrological discipline, seven to ten planets (incl. luminaries) are depicted within a natal chart. Planets form the basis of astrology and some of their classifications are listed here;
the Sun governs our sense of identity, ambition, willpower, masculine energy, vitality, strength, conditions around honour and success, powers of influence and prestige, personal reputation, relationship to father, male figures
the Moon relates to our emotional urges and responses, impulses to nurture and be nurtured, feminine energy, female figures particularly mother, domestic urges, habituated emotional behaviour, tradition and connections to the past

Extending beyond the personal sphere, an astrological chart involving these planets can be drafted for other contexts. To gauge
the impact of planetary conditions within economic and socio-political climates. As a personal tool however, the natal chart is an amazing celestial lens. Made available for us to view ourselves more objectively and work with the conditions of our life better, as we interact reciprocally with the awesome celestial forces overhead.
