The art of astrology has been known to mankind dating back to the Babylonians, and references to its existence can be found in many other ancient civilizations.

Before Astrology can start its magic, a chart must be calculated using the exact science of Astronomy. A natal chart, sometimes called a birth chart, is a map of the heavens at the time of birth. This includes the day, month, year, time as well as the place of birth. The natal chart is the beginning point in any personal analysis of the tendencies and predisposition of characteristics for the person for whom the chart was cast.

A natal chart is but the tip of the iceberg in Astrology for charts can be cast for any reason under the sun that has a birth (a starting point in time). Therefore charts can be cast for many purposes. Each different purpose is a different phase of Astrology.

A very intuitive and talented astrologer can often amaze clients by almost startling "predictions". What the astrologer is actually doing is carefully looking at the chart constructed and by comparing the planets that are transiting the natal chart, the aspects they make to these natal planets, they are able to determine some of the likely situations that will arise in different areas of the persons life. Combining this information together with the story that the natal chart itself tells the Astrologer about the native of the birth charts makes it all come together like magic. Many astrologers are also highly intuitive or psychic as well, adding to the accuracy of the astrological reading.

Most of us from exposure to newspaper columns and other means know our sun sign,i.e.: being a Scorpio, Gemini, etc. However, Astrology is so much more than that! An astrologer prepares a chart that is based on your individual birth data: month, day, year, time and place of birth. This chart, called a natal chart, gives the positions of the sun and moon and the planets uniquely for you at the moment of your birth.

The planetary positions are calculated and drawn on a horoscope chart wheel called houses. Each house represents different areas of a native's life, totaling twelve areas . The astrologer also takes into consideration the relationships the planets make to each other, called aspects. As you can see, much more personal detailed information can be determined than just generalized information from one's sun sign.
