The most widely used astrological system in the world
Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac — defined by the seasons, not the stars. Zero degrees Aries is always the spring equinox. This means Western zodiac signs are tied to the Earth's orbit around the Sun, rather than to constellations. The system traces through ancient Greece, the Islamic Golden Age, Renaissance Europe, and into the modern psychological astrology of the 20th century.
The natal chart — a wheel of twelve pie-slice houses — is the central document. It shows where every planet fell in the sky at the exact moment and place of your birth. The relationships between planets (called aspects) form a geometric pattern that astrologers read as a personality map.

Reading the report
Begin with the Ascendant — the sign rising in the east at your birth. Then find the Sun and Moon signs. These three — the rising sign, Sun, and Moon — are the classic triad of Western interpretation, covering persona, core identity, and emotional nature respectively.
The aspects grid shows which planets are geometrically related. A planet in opposition creates tension and awareness. A trine creates ease and natural talent. A square creates drive and challenge. A practicing astrologer uses the full chart — all planets, all aspects, all houses — to build a complete picture.
For someone approaching this as a data document: every number here is geometrically precise. What you make of it — whether you approach it as psychology, mythology, or something else — is entirely your own.
