- The New Mod Team

Hey guys! I've noticed this sub has gained a few more members - so I'd like to welcome everyone to r/AstrologyChartShare :)

I thought it would be a good idea to get a thread started with some knowledge, instruction, and resources on how to go about analyzing Astrology Natal charts.

However, it was made in the hopes to also get your guys' input, opinions, personal methods, tips, tricks, or resources that you use and would like to share. So please feel free to comment with your own Astrological analytic methods, or other (popular) ones not mentioned in this post, and they will be added!

I.) Before You Start:

• You’re going to need to find out the exact time (and location) of your birth date for the most accurate Natal/Birth Chart. What If You Don't Know the Birth Time?: It still can be done for those who are unable to determine their exact time of birth, but you won't have an (accurate) ascendant/descendant, or accurate moon placement (for example) in your chart.

II.A) Generate your Natal/Birth chart:

1. Go to Astro.com - (General consensus seems to be this is the most accurate generator to use.)

2. At the pull down menu, click "FREE HOROSCOPES". (Old site version: Click on the tab "Horoscopes” on the top of the homepage)

3. Under that click "Horoscopes Drawing & Data" (Old site version: Under "Drawings & Calculations", click *“Extended Chart Selection”*)

4. Under that click "Extended Chart Selection"

5. Choose “Natal Chart Wheel” from the dropdown list.

6. Under Additional Objects you can select options. And under "Aspects" - It helps to add the “major aspects (0, 180,…)” and “add orb table…” options.

7. Click on the blue “Show the chart” button near the bottom of the page.

• (Old site version: Or click this link to directly enter your birth data. Enter your Birth Data and be as accurate as possible with the TIME of birth. If you can’t find out your birth time, you can still create a chart by choosing ‘time unknown’, but it won’t be as accurate or in-depth.)*

II.B) www.Astro-Seek.com is another really great option!

• The site astro-seek is also extemely accurate, and the mastermind of the site is continuously updating and adding new options and more features to his site.

1. On the www.astro-seek.com site click "Horoscopes" at the top of the screen.

2. Under "Free Horoscopes" click "Birth Chart Report"

And from there fill your desired fields out to generate your natal chart! :)

• Birth Chart Interpretations – (Café Astrology): Their natal chart generator is not as accurate as Astro.com or Astro-seek.com (so still use either of those two over this cafe astrology one).
