Astrology and Natal Charts

This is an insight into what we dive into when you order a natal chart reading!

The natal chart is a powerful tool that acts as a map of the universe at the exact moment you were born. This chart is considered a blueprint of your life and soul, reflecting not just your personality but also your spiritual path, life challenges, and destiny. It delves deep into psychological traits, personality, the influences of karma, and the soul’s journey through multiple lifetimes.

Here’s how the chart works in greater detail:

  1. Karma and Past Lives:

    • One of the central beliefs is that our current life is the result of actions (karma) from previous lives. The position of the planets at birth is thought to reflect this karmic blueprint, showing the lessons you are meant to learn, the challenges you may face, and the opportunities available to you. 
  2. Timing of Events:

    • It offers a timeline of life phases governed by different planets. Each planet rules over a specific period in a person's life, and the nature of that planet’s energy influences the events and experiences during that time. This allows astrologers to predict when certain life events, opportunities, or challenges may arise, and how they will unfold. 
    • The timing aspect is crucial because it provides context for understanding why things are happening in a person’s life. It helps explain the phases of personal development, encouraging individuals to use these periods wisely for both material and spiritual growth.
  3. Spiritual Growth and Remedies:

    • Astrology emphasizes the idea that while we are born with certain influences in our chart (based on our karma), we also have the ability to influence our destiny through conscious actions, spiritual practices, and a deeper understanding of our inner selves. Free will, free will, free will!

     

  4. Holistic Life Guidance:

    • Astrology offers a holistic approach to life guidance. Rather than just focusing on one area, like your job or relationships, it takes into account your entire life—emotions, health, spiritual development, finances, and more. By understanding the positions of the planets, the houses, and the interactions between them, a complete picture of your life’s potential is revealed.

Basically, a natal chart is not just a snapshot of where the planets were at your birth—it’s a deep, spiritual map that offers guidance on your life’s purpose, challenges, and growth. It ties into ancient philosophy, particularly the concepts of karma (cause and effect) and dharma (life’s purpose), suggesting that we are not merely influenced by the planets but also have the potential to actively shape our own destiny through awareness, action, and spiritual practice.

By understanding the influences of planets, houses, signs, etc. astrology provides a powerful framework for personal insight and spiritual growth. It is not only about predicting future events but also about gaining a better understanding of yourself, your life’s journey, and how you can align with the cosmic forces for a more harmonious and fulfilling life.
