If you have known your Sun sign for a while and want to delve further into astrology, eventually you will probably get a copy of your natal chart by plugging in your birth data on Astro.com. After you do that, though, how do you understand your natal chart?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your Sun sign is not even the first thing on my list of key components to understand a birth chart. To understand a Natal Chart, you must consider these 7 Aspects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first and most important part to consider is the angles that will shape the picture that the Sun, Moon, and planets fill in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don’t already have your natal chart to compare as you read through this article, you can use this free tool to create your natal chart. Note, it’s important to have the time, date, and location of your birth to get an accurate chart. If you don’t know the exact time, then use 12 noon instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many people have heard of the Sun, Moon, and Rising signs. The Rising sign, however, is only one of four angles that form a cross inside the circle of your chart. All four angles are necessary to define the canvas of your chart that the planets and luminaries then decorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ascendant is a point calculated based on the time of day the person was born in relation to that day\u2019s sunrise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Rising sign is the sign in which the Ascendant falls. It is necessary to look at a chart made with an accurate time of birth to know this, and it is also necessary to know the city in which the person was born because the Sun rises at different times in different cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If a person was born exactly at sunrise, the Sun would be conjunct with the Ascendant, and the Rising sign would be the same sign as the Sun sign. Someone born exactly at sunset would have the Sun exactly opposite the Rising sign, or conjunct the Descendant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Someone born at noon would have the Sun at the top of the chart, conjunct with the Midheaven, and someone born at midnight would have the Sun at the bottom of the chart.

Its opposite exactly across the circle of the chart, the Descendant, is abbreviated DC. A good way to remember the Ascendant is that it represents the self you present to the world. Its opposite, the Descendant, therefore represents the others you draw into your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other axis in the chart runs between the other two angles: the Midheaven, abbreviated MC for the Latin term Medium Coeli<\/a>, and its opposite, which is the Imum Coeli, abbreviated IC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Midheaven represents the outer parts of your life, like a career you might be publicly known for. Its opposite, therefore, represents the inner parts of your life, like your home and family. For more information, see my article on Kim Kardashian\u2019s Zodiac sign<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
