Most people are familiar with natal astrology, the branch of astrology that deals with the chart of a person born at a particular time. The central idea of natal astrology is that it is possible to draw up an astrological chart (the nativity) for the moment a person is born. This chart is a visual representation of the position of planets (which include the sun and the moon), certain stars and other celestial objects with respect to the location of the person (the native). These celestial objects have been determined by the astrologers of antiquity to have potent and particular effects, and through the analysis of these celestial objects in the chart it is possible to delineate the character, personality traits, and the probable future of the person concerned.
