There are many different forms and variations of the art of Astrology.  There are also many different types of astrological charts.  Right now, we are only going to deal with the astrological chart known as the NATAL chart.  The NATAL chart does not make predictions.  Its purpose is to show you your strengths and weaknesses. The NATAL chart will show you the areas of your life that will bring you joy and the areas of your life will bring you grief.  If you wish to be on the road to happiness, you must first find out where happiness is for you.  It is the same as a road trip to another city.  Before you set out on the road you must first know where your destination is in relation to where you are now.  It will not do you any good to travel south if your destination is north.  This is the power of the NATAL chart.  It will show you where you are and in which direction you need to be traveling.  It is our belief, as astrology seems to prove, that the deity that set this all in motion did not put us in this life to suffer and fail.  Nor did he put us in this life with a gift of happiness.  True happiness and fulfillment must be earned.  The task, and the difficulty or ease of its attainment, is as individual as you are.

     It sounds like we are talking about destiny.  We are.  We believe that everyone is born to a destiny.  Usually, the fulfillment of this destiny requires that you confront your fears and limitations.  The reward is true happiness and fulfillment.  Refuse to confront your fears and limitations and fate will knock your feet out from under you, usually on the very verge of the attainment of what you want.  Most people know of an area of their lives where they seem to keep making the same mistakes over and over again.  This is exactly what we are talking about.  This is the power of the NATAL chart.  A study of your NATAL chart will show you just where you are going wrong and how to correct it.  The changes required are rarely easy, but you do have the necessary power and strength to make the changes if you are willing and determined.

     If you are looking for this web site to read your chart for you, you are in the wrong place.  We do not know of any computer program that can adequately read an astrological chart with the depth required to be of any practical use.  If you do not want to spend the time and effort required to learn to read an astrological chart, go and pay an astrologer to do it for you.  There are many fine astrologers that provide this service.  Unfortunately, there are just as many charlatans out there that will just try to steal your money.  So, choose wisely. Our web site will give you enough of an introduction to the art of Astrology to be able to recognize a charlatan when you see one.

     If you wish to learn to read an astrological chart, you have come to the right place.  We will gladly provide you with everything you need to get started.  We will teach you the basics of Astrology.  We will calculate your chart for you and even supply you with an example reading generated by our mindless computer.  This is called a delineation (reading) of your chart.  As we have stated before, no computer program can do an adequate job of reading a chart.  Our computer delineation is meant to be an example of how it is done.  The main thing to learn from our example delineation is that this machine has done a remarkable job of describing your life just by following simple rules.  A human brain can do much better.  If you start to get confused, don't give up.  It's not as hard as it may sound.  We know that you are capable of learning how to read a chart.  If you are having problems understanding after repeated effort, the problem could be in our failure to adequately explain.  We will always be beta testing our instructions.  We have condensed volumes of astrological knowledge into as few pages as we could.  We may have over condensed.  Also, a set of instructions that makes perfect sense to one person may be confusing to another.  Let us know where you are having problems.  From your feedback, we will strive to improve.

     In simplest terms, an astrological chart is a map of the heavens for a particular date, time and place.  There are many types of astrological charts used for different purposes.  We will confine this discussion to the NATAL type of chart.  Once you learn to read a NATAL chart, any other type of chart is just a variation (usually just a change of perspective) on what you already know.

     A NATAL chart is a map of the heavens for the birth of an individual person.  A NATAL chart will be valid for one and only one person.  It is as individual, and as unique, as you are.  A Natal chart is a map of the heavens at the time that you became a unique and individual person.  Due to the constant movement of the heavens as seen from earth, the accuracy of your chart will depend on how accurate your birth information is.  Take the time to try to find out this information as accurately as you can.  This will be your starting point.  We will test and correct your chart at a later time.  Yes, test and correct your chart.  There are many problems with the time of birth.  Did your parents remember correctly?  Did the hospital staff record it correctly?  Did you become an individual at your first breath, or at some other time?  This test and correction is called rectification of your chart.  A correctly rectified chart should describe your life with astonishing accuracy.  When we progress to the predictive types of charts, the rectification of your chart will be more important.  For now, we just need to get as close as we can to the correct chart.  You will still be amazed at the accuracy.
