Natal chart
The sky, frozen at your first breath
A natal chart is a map of where every planet stood — as seen from your birthplace — at the moment you were born. AsterNym draws yours from real astronomical positions: ten planets, twelve houses, and the geometry between them.
What each planet carries
- Sun — your core self — identity, vitality, what you are here to become.
- Moon — your inner life — feelings, instincts, what you need to feel safe.
- Mercury — your mind — how you think, speak, learn and connect ideas.
- Venus — your affections — how you love, what you find beautiful, what you value.
- Mars — your drive — how you act, assert, desire and fight.
- Jupiter — your growth — where you expand, trust, and get lucky.
- Saturn — your discipline — where you meet limits, duty and mastery.
- Uranus — your rebellion — where you break patterns and need freedom.
- Neptune — your dreams — imagination, longing, and where edges blur.
- Pluto — your depths — power, transformation, what refuses to stay buried.
The twelve houses
Signs describe how a planet acts; houses describe where in life it acts. AsterNym uses whole-sign houses — the oldest house system: your rising sign is your first house, and each sign after it takes the next house in order.
- 1
- self — self, body, how you arrive
- 2
- money — money, possessions, self-worth
- 3
- mind — mind, siblings, the local world
- 4
- home — home, family, roots
- 5
- creativity — creativity, romance, play
- 6
- work — work, habits, health
- 7
- partnership — partnership, marriage, open rivals
- 8
- shared resources — shared resources, intimacy, transformation
- 9
- belief — belief, travel, higher learning
- 10
- career — career, reputation, public life
- 11
- friends — friends, community, the future
- 12
- the inner world — the inner world, rest, what is hidden
The five major aspects
Aspects are the angles planets make to each other — the lines across the middle of the wheel. They describe how your drives cooperate or collide.
- Conjunction — Two drives sharing one seat — they act together, for better and louder.
- Sextile — An easy, friendly angle — cooperation that shows up when you make the first move.
- Square — A friction angle — the tension that irritates and, worked with, builds real strength.
- Trine — The easiest angle — talent so native you may not notice it is rare.
- Opposition — Magnetic opposites — a see-saw that wants balance, often lived out through other people.
How this chart is constructed
Planet positions are geocentric ecliptic longitudes computed with an astronomical ephemeris for your exact birth moment — the same engine that draws your birth sky. The Ascendant comes from your time and place; houses are whole-sign. The positions are calculated fact; the meanings are traditional interpretation, offered for reflection.
