What is a birth chart and why is it important? Most astrology consultations depend on, or are based upon a persons birth chart. A birth chart is quite unique. The position of the planets and stars are estimated to return to the same uniform positions only once every (approximate) 26,000 years. Each birth chart is a visual representation of the planets, the Sun and Moon, at the individuals birth time. Thus each consultation is unique, based upon an individuals astrological birth chart. A chart taken from the vast Universe and the specific location of the planets and the individuals location on the earth. Location not just within the space of our biosphere, but our place in the ever changing progress of the sun and solar system. The horoscope is really much more than ancient Greek mythology, it is a real sets of planets observable throughout our lives. To prove the validity of astrology based upon objective science is difficult. But many science based studies have proven correlations between astrological indicators and human personality. But the reality truly become significant to the astrologer that sees the interpretations dramatized in the lives of clients seeking meaning from their natal (birth) chart and personal forecast. Briefly, the bases of astrology is contained in the idea that we are a part of the greater universe, the seasons, times, biological world and the universe at large play a part in our creation and evolution. The church for centuries simultaneously approved and disapproved different aspects of astrology. Church scientists could easily see the influence of the birth chart in an individuals life, but also resisted astrology in that it seemed to suggest fate as a controlling agent. I like to think that we, like bread, are made of various substances, contributory factors, influences that limit or expand our potential. However, we also have the choice to pursue or neglect that potential. And interestingly when I interpret a chart, I like to point out the wonderful opportunities suggested, as well as the options to neglect or deny one's possibilities. So what can be gained from your personal astrology birth chart and resulting consultation? First of all, an amazingly accurate picture of you, including details about areas that you can, or most likely do place focus. Areas such: as friends, family, career, entertainment, hobbies, health, romance, and important relationships. But what is really cool is that in the consultation we can look at those personal historical events that dramatically influence your current behavior. We can expand the consultation to include predictive information. Meaning astrological details about your personal history can be revealed and we can project into the future important upcoming events.
consider an individuals career. An analysis of the vocational possibilities can be fun but also amazingly useful. This is especially useful considering the number of people changing vocations and often suggesting unhappiness with their past career decisions. Also with one's birth chart, it is possible to compare it with a friend or lovers chart to see how you "mesh" or work together (synastry). This same approach can be taken regarding potential working relationships or partnerships. Will both parties contribute to the business, or will there be an imbalance? With your personal chart completed lots of interesting additional options become available. For example: we can look at your forecast, find time times that promise positive changes, and opportune moments to take action. Also you can look back over the years and pinpoint interesting astrological events, often those events correspond to significant happy changes or difficult times you have experienced. Not happy where you are located? What about expanding your birth chart to include relocation options. How would your chart change for the better or worse at a new location?
